MOST PEOPLE  I KNOW WILL AGREE THAT THE BEST TIME TO SEE NORTHERN MICHIGAN, IS IN THE FALL ESPECIALLY OCTOBER. I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WE HAVE THE COLORS OF THE TREES, THE LAKES STILL BLUE AND FISHABLE, AND THE MEMORIES OF SUMMER FADING, BUT STILL FRESH, AND ICE FISHING RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. WOW, IT IS HERE, FALL SPECTACULAR.

THE FISHING HAS BEEN SPECTACULAR FOR THE FEW PEOPLE GOING OUT ON LONG AND GRAND LAKES.  WE STILL HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH WINDY DAYS, RAINY DAYS, AND NOW COLDER AIR COMING IN. BUT THE DAYS  THAT ALLOW PEOPLE TO FISH, HAVE SHOWN GREAT CATCHES OF PERCH, AND WALLEYE. MINNOWS SEEMS TO BE THE BEST BAIT, AND NIGHT CRAWLERS ARE TAKING A BACK SEAT AND WILL GO AWAY ALL TOGETHER SOON.THE BEST METHOD BY FAR TO CATCH THESE BIG PERCH, HAS BEEN WITH THE NEW PERCH RIG MADE RIGHT HERE BY LORIE. IT HAS TWO FLIES AND IS SET UP SIMILAR TO A COMMON PERCH RIG, BUT THE RESULTS ARE SO MUCH BETTER  THAT MOST CUSTOMERS WON’T FISH WITHOUT THEM NOW. THEY ARE GOOD FOR JIGGING, BOBBER FISHING [slip bobbers] AND LAST WINTER WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED, TIP UPS  WERE USED WITH GREAT SUCCESS, WITH THESE NEW PERCH RIGS. WHEN YOU COME IN BE SURE AND ASK TO SEE THEM, AND ASK FOR A DEMO. AND ASK THE OTHER FISHERMEN HOW THEY LIKE THEM TOO.

IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO SOME GOOD FISHING, WITH LOW CROWDS, MAKE IT SOON. ALREADY THE WEATHER BAR SHOWS A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR OCTOBER 21. WE HAVE SHINERS, WAX WORMS AND WORMS, AND ALL SORTS OF TACKLE FOR YOU. OUR WINTER STOCK IS COMING IN NOW, SO YOU CAN GET FIRST CHOICE ON THAT. WE WILL TRY AND STAY OPEN ALL YEAR, RIGHT INTO ICE SEASON THIS YEAR. HERE’S OUR HOURS.
