HERE’S THE NEW WEB SITE, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. WE THINK IT’S PRETTY SPECTACULAR, AND IT GETS RIGHT TO THE FISH REPORT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU ALL WANT.

    LAST WEEKEND THE GRAND LAKE DERBY WAS HELD, AND IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. IT WAS ALSO VERY COLD. WE STARTED AT -10 DEGREES AND IT MADE IT TO 25. THERE WERE A LOT OF ENTRIES, AND A LOT OF RETURN CUSTOMERS SAYING THEY HAD RUN OUT OF BAIT, FISHING WAS THAT GOOD. WE HAVE LOTS OF ICE, AND THE ICE CONDITIONS ARE GOOD FOR SNOW MACHINES AND QUADS.

THE SAME DAY AS THE GRAND LAKE DERBY, BURTON’S LAST RESORT HAD A POLAR DIVE TO HELP THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS. THIS WAS ON LONG LAKE, AND WE UNDERSTAND THERE WAS QUITE A CROWD. THAT’S A LOT OF BRAVE PEOPLE IN THAT WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE WATER.
