WE HAVE HAD SOME WEIRD, WET AND WARM WEATHER, AND RECENTLY GOT ABOUT 7 INCHES OF WET SNOW, THAT COMPACTED HERE TO ABOUT THREE INCHES BY EVENING DUE AN ENORMOUS RAIN FALL.
THE SHOP IS READY, AND DECORATED FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND WINTER. AND FULL OF GOODIES FOR WINTER AND SUMMER.

AND THE COLD AIR SEEMS TO BE HERE IN EARNEST NOW. WE HAVE HAD A FEW BRAVE SOULS VENTURE OUT ONTO BLACK BASS BAY, AND IN BOATS, POINTS SOUTH. THIS IS ON GRAND LAKE. THEIR SUCCESS WAS HERALDED IN MY PHONE ANSWERING MACHINE SO I BOUGHT BAIT AND OPENED UP. TYPICALLY, WE GOT SLAMMED WITH RAIN AND ONE MORE OUT OF SEASON WARM UP. WE ARE IN THE TEENS NOW AT NIGHT AND TWENTIES FOR DAY TIME TEMPS SO I AM GUESSING WITHIN A WEEK THERE WILL BE ACTIVITY ON THE BAY AREAS AT LEAST. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, I WOULD CAUTION YOU AGAINST BEING ON THE ICE AT ALL FOR A FEW DAYS, AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD CALL FOR AN UP TO THE MINUTE WEATHER REPORT, IF I HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE COMING IN TO GIVE ME ONE. [989] 595-2121.WE KNOW THE SEASON IS COMING QUICK, AND THE MONTH HAS ALREADY SHOT DOWN TEN DAYS OF DECEMBER. FROM THE INITIAL REPORTS OF THE FOLKS WHO WERE ON GRAND LAKE LAST WEEK, IT SOUNDS GOOD FOR WALLEYE AND PERCH ALREADY.
IF I DON’T SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS, THEN IT WILL ALREADY BE CHRISTMAS, SO MERRY CHRISTMAS. WE WILL OF COURSE BE CLOSED FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT OPEN RIGHT THROUGH AFTER THAT INCLUDING NEW YEARS DAY.
HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.

LORIE AND BUDD
