SO HURRY.; ALSO [989] 595-2121, ASK FOR BUDD OR LORIE AND WE’LL TELL YOU IF WE HAVE TICKETS LEFT. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF TICKETS BECAUSE WE JUST GOT THEM. PLEASE DON’T MISS OUT.

THIS IS SUNDAY, AND I MUST TELL YOU, WE HAVE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE IN HERE WITH FANTASTIC  FISHING REPORTS FROM LONG LAKE AND GRAND LAKE. WALLEYE, PERCH, HUGE PIKE, BASS GALORE, ALL FROM YESTERDAY. THEY ARE USING A VARIETY OF BAIT, AND TACKLE, AND DEPTHS, LOCATIONS AND TECHNIQUES. BUT THEY ALL ARE SO ELATED THAT EVEN THE FOLKS WHO CLAIM THEY DIDN’T DO SO WELL, GOT EXCITED AND WENT BACK OUT. IT’S EASY FOR US TO TELL YOU GREAT STUFF WHEN WE HEAR IT, BUT WHEN YOU HEAR IT FORM FELLOW FISHERMEN, WHO JUST CAME BACK FOR MORE BAIT AND TACKLE, THAT’S THE REAL DEAL. AND I MUST SAY THIS, LORIE RIGS OF ALL COLORS WERE WORKING. ABOUT 15 TO 20 FEET, MOST FOLKS SAID SUSPENDED FISH, AT ABOUT 10 OR 15 DOWN. SLOW TROLL, A LOT OF LINE OUT, AND WHAM. NOW A LOT OF SUB-LEGAL FISH HAVE BEEN CAUGHT, THIS MEANS YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG, YOU ARE RIGHT THERE, SO KEEP AT IT.

WOW, ARE WE EXCITED ? WE SURE ARE, AND FOR GOOD REASONS. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER TO HEAR THE GREAT NEWS THAN THE BUMMED OUT STUFF. WE HAVE  TWO GREAT INLAND FISHING LAKES HERE FOLKS. AND WE ALSO HAVE A GREAT, GREAT LAKE, LAKE HURON. I’LL TRY AND GET A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE LAKE TROUT BEING CAUGHT. I KNOW,GREASE BALLS ETC. BUT HEY, THEY ARE GREAT SPORT FISH. [AND EASY]THERE ARE ALSO ATLANTICS, AND WALLEYE OUT THERE. JUST  A THOUGHT, IF YOU WANT SOME FUN OUT OF ROCKPORT OR ALPENA. AND THERE ARE EITHER NO NETS OR TWO. I HAVE HEARD BOTH STORIES.

HEY, I HAVE TO GO SELL SOME  BAIT AND TACKLE, HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON. OPEN NOW

7 AM TO 6 PM
