   MEMORIAL WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE AND THE WEATHER PATTERN APPEARS TO BE TURNING IN OUR FAVOR. WE REALLY NEED THE RAIN, BUT WE ALSO NEED A NICE WEEKEND FOR MEMORIAL DAY FOLKS.

   WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF RAIN AND WIND HERE THE PAST WEEK.THIS HAS DISCOURAGED MOST CUSTOMERS FROM GOING OUT, BUT SOME DID GO FISHING, AND THE RESULTS WERE QUITE IMPRESSIVE. THERE WERE.A FEW FISHABLE DAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, AND SOME NICE FISH WERE TAKEN FROM GRAND LAKE, INCLUDING A 42″ PIKE. THERE WERE ALSO SOME NICE WALLEYE AND PERCH CAUGHT, AS WELL AS A BUNCH OF BASS. BASS OPENS NEXT WEEKEND.

        LONG LAKERS HAD PRETTY MUCH THE SAME LUCK, BUT NOT SO  MANY PERCH AS GRAND. THE WATER DEPTHS FOR THE WALLEYE RAN FROM 8 FEET TO 20 FEET. i HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS. MAYBE IT MEANS THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE ?

 AT ANY RATE, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS SUMMER FISHING IS GOING TO BE AWESOME, AND ONLY THE WEATHER IS A PROBLEM AT THIS TIME.

   SPEAKING OF BASS. WE ARE HAVING AN AMATEUR BASS CONTEST THIS JUNE 14. TICKETS ARE $10.00, A LIMIT OF 200 WILL BE PRINTED. THE BASS MAY BE CAUGHT IN LONG, GRAND, ESAU, OR THE NARROWS. YOU MAY USE ANY LEGAL BAIT. LIVE OR ARTIFICIAL, THE BASS MAY BE ALIVE, OR DEAD. YOU Can RETURN THE BASS TO THE WATER, OR EAT IT. TICKETS WILL BE SOLD HERE AT BUCK’S, AND WEIGHED IN AT BUCK’S. ONE FISH PER CONTESTANT, AND IT’S BY WEIGHT ONLY. IF ALL 200 TICKETS SELL, WE HAVE $2,000.00 IN JACKPOT MONEY. THREE PLACES, 1ST, $1,000.00 2ND, $700.00, 3RD $300.00.
