THE WEATHER PICTURE LOOKS GOOD FOR THE WEEKEND. LET’S HOPE THEY AREN’T LYING [ US WEATHER BUREAU] THE  BIGGEST AND BEST NEWS HERE HAS TO BE THE TREMENDOUS SUCCESS OF WALLEYE FISHERMEN AND LADIES IN THE THUNDER BAY AND THUNDER BAY RIVER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS AND CONSTANT LIMITS OF WALLEYE CAUGHT THESE PAST FEW WEEKS. LORIE AND HER HUSBAND  WENT OUT YESTERDAY AND BROUGHT  HOME THREE VERY NICE WALLEYE. THEY WERE USING NIGHT CRAWLERS AND LORIE RIGS, WITH A 1/2 OUNCE BOTTOM BOUNCER. THEY ALSO BOATED A SHEEPHEAD  AND SEVERAL GOBIES. THERE ARE LOT OF BOATS OUT IN THE BAY, AND A LOT OF WATER TO FISH THESE WALLEYE IN. AND DEPTH IS ABOUT 12 TO 20 FEET, SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE FISHING IS PRETTY EASY THERE. WE ARE SEEING 12 FOOT TO 30 FOOT BOATS OUT THERE.

      LONG AND GRAND LAKES  HAVE BEEN DOING GOOD WITH THEIR FISHING, WHEN WE HAVE HAD DECENT WEATHER. THE GRAND LAKE ANNUAL FISH DERBY IS JULY 10, AND 11.
