THIS PAST SUMMER  SAW SOME GREAT FISH CATCHING ON LONG AND GRAND LAKES, BUT THE WEATHER, WOW, WHAT A TOUGH YEAR. IT RAINED OR WAS WINDY ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND, AND THE UP AND DOWN TEMPERATURES  WERE HARD TO FIGURE.  WE SAW, IN THIS STORE A LOT OF GREAT FISH BROUGHT IN FOR PICTURES. AND WE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD STORIES AS WELL, NOT UNUSUAL FOR A BAIT SHOP.  SINCE THE SUMMER IS PRETTY MUCH OVER AFTER LABOR DAY, ESPECIALLY FOR US, I CAN TELL YOU THE PATTERNS FOR THE SUMMER ENDED UP LIKE THIS. BOTH LAKES PRODUCED  THEIR GREAT BASS CATCHES, AND A LOT OF PIKE. LONG LAKE SEEMED TO HAVE THE LARGER AMOUNTS OF LEGAL WALLEYE, AND GRAND LAKE HAD THE BEST PERCH FISHING BY FAR. GRAND LAKE HAD AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF 13 TO 14 INCH WALLEYE CAUGHT.

THE BIG DOWN SIDE THIS YEAR WAS THE DISCOVERY OF GOBIES IN LONG LAKE, A LOT OF GOBIES. REMEMBER, THE DNR ASKS YOU TO KILL THEM RIGHT AWAY.

WE HAVE CHANGED OUR SEPTEMBER HOURS TO

OPEN 8-5 DAILY

OPEN 8-3 ON SUNDAYS

WE WILL STAY OPEN AS LONG AS PEOPLE WALK THROUGH THE DOOR AND NEED BAIT OR TACKLE.

THANK YOU FOR  YOUR BUSINESS THIS SUMMER

OTHER THAN THAT, SEE YOU FOR ICE SEASON.
