MEMORIAL WEEKEND WAS VERY COOL, AND SUNNY, WHICH MADE FOR A PLEASANT WEEKEND. THE FISHING WAS QUITE GOOD FOR A START UP PERIOD, AND WE APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS, COMPLIMENTS, AND THE PEOPLE TAKING TIME TO SHOW US FISH,, AND PICTURES OF FISH.
THE GENERAL DEPTH FOR WALLEYE WAS ABOUT 12 TO 14 FEET. THE BEST BAIT WAS STILL THE NIGHT CRAWLER AND LORIE RIG COMBO. LEECHES WORKED GOOD, AND MINNOWS SHOWED SOME SUCCESS AS WELL. THE PERCH FISHING WAS SO SO, AND PIKE WERE A NUISANCE, BITING OFF A LOT OF LINES, AND STEALING TACKLE AND BAIT. LUCKY FOR US WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT STUFF THOUGH.
THE BASS TOURNAMENT WENT WELL, AND CUSTOMERS WHO FISHED FOR BASS HAD AN ENDLESS SUPPLY FOR THEM TO ENJOY.
BASS WERE HITTING EVERYTHING FROM CRAWLERS TO TOP WATER STUFF. THEY ARE ON THEIR BEDS, AND ARE AN EASY MARK FOR FISHERMEN. SOME SAY TOO EASY, BUT IT IS OPEN, AND LEGAL TO CATCH AND EAT BASS NOW
WE HAD A CUSTOMER WHO WAS NICE ENOUGH TO MENTION THAT HE READS THIS SITE AND WONDERED WHY WE DON’T MENTION THE FISHING AROUND AND IN LAKE HURON ANY MORE. THAT’S BECAUSE WE JUST DON’T HEAR MUCH ABOUT LAKE HURON. OUR AREA WAS ROCKPORT HARBOR, AND WE ARE HEARING VIRTUALLY NOTHING FROM THAT AREA. WE WOULD SURE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THE FISHING IN ROCKPORT AREA IS BACK TO FULL OR PARTIAL STRENGTH, AND GET YOU EXCITED, BUT THAT WOULD BE A LIE, AND YOU DON’T NEED THAT.
LONG LAKE AND GRAND LAKE ARE VERY HEALTHY THIS YEAR. THE LAKES ARE PRODUCING A LOT OF HAPPY ANGLERS, AND WE EAT FISH FROM THAT LAKE. AND WE ENJOY THOSE FISH LIKE NO OTHERS WE HAVE EVER HAD. AND SO WILL YOU.
HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER WILL GET WARMER, AND MORE STABLE. KEEP A LOOK OUT ON OUR WEATHER BAR BY THE SITE.
ALSO, WE ARE PLANNING A TOURNAMENT OF OUR OWN FOR JULY 18, TO INCLUDE WALLEYE, BASS AND PIKE. DETAILS LATER. PRIZE MONEY BASED ON TICKETS SOLD
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LONG LAKE ASSOCIATION PAYMENT HERE IF YOU LIKE, AND THAT GETS YOU A TICKET TO THEIR FAMILY FUN TOURNAMENT AUGUST 1.
WE ARE OPEN NOW FROM 7 TO 6, 7 DAYS.

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON

LORIE AND BUDD
