HERE’S WHAT A JANUARY THAW LOOKS LIKE ON LONG LAKE THIS YEAR.

THAT’S RIGHT, GREAT FISHING AND GREAT ICE.ABOUT 10 TO 12 INCHES. THESE FISH WERE CAUGHT IN THE ROUND TOP AREA ON LONG LAKE YESTERDAY. LORIE MEASURED THE ICE IN HER SHANTY AND HAD 11 INCHES OF GOOD HARD ICE.

MOST FOLKS ARE USING MINNOWS, WAXWORMS, AND WIGGLERS ON LONG LAKE. THE MAJORITY OF GRAND LAKERS, WHO ARE DOING WELL ALSO, ARE USING BLUES FOR THE MOST PART. JIGGING OR TIP UPS IS WORKING
GREAT.

OUR BUCK’S BAIT TOURNAMENT IS JAN. 30. COST IS 15 DOLLARS WHICH INCLUDES A 5 DOLLAR COUPON FOR BAIT WHICH CAN BE USED ANYTIME UNTIL THE 30TH. THAT IS THE LAST DAY THAT COUPON IS GOOD. WE HAVE TICKETS LEFT, AND PRIZE AMOUNTS ARE BASED ON TICKETS SOLD, SO HURRY IN. THE FIRST 100 TICKETS SOLD WILL BE PULLED AND A $50.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE WILL BE AWARDED TO ONE LUCKY PERSON.
YOU MAY FISH ANY LAKE IN MICHIGAN YOU WANT TO. THE TIMES ARE 6 AM TO 7 PM. WEIGH IN IS RIGHT HERE AT BUCK’S, AND AFTER 7 PM, YOU WILL NOT BE WEIGHED. IN CASE OF A TIE, FIRST FISH WEIGHED WINS. THERE WILL BE 9 CASH PRIZES. NO ONE MAY CLAIM MORE THAN ONE PRIZE.
ANOTHER GREAT IDEA WE HAVE IS THAT THE FIRST 10 PEOPLE WHO ARE WEIGHED IN AND ARE IN FIRST PLACE, THEN BUMPED BY A BIGGER FISH, WILL WIN A FISH BROTHERS TIP-UP. A SET OF TWO TIP UPS, A RETAIL VALUE OF $28.00 WE WILL WEIGH IN PIKE, WALLEYE AND THREE PERCH . THERE WILL BE THREE PLACES FOR EACH DIVISION.
