WE HAVE NOT CHANGED THE SITE HERE AT BUCK’S BECAUSE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A WHOLE LOT TO REPORT DUE TO  THE FRUSTRATING WEATHER PATTERNS HERE, [ AND OVER MUCH OF THE USA.] WE HAVE SEEN 40’S  TO 90’S AND RAIN AND WIND TO DETER EVEN THE MOST ARDENT FISHERMEN. THE GOOD THING  IS THAT WHEN WE DO HAVE A NICE DAY, OUR CUSTOMERS GO OUT AND CATCH FISH.  WALLEYE FROM LONG LAKE HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD, BASS, AND PIKE HAVE BEEN HITTING EXCELLENT. PERCH ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN SO FAR. GRAND LAKE SHOWS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME PATTERN. AND THE WATER IS STILL QUITE COLD. THIS MAY CHANGE NOW WITH SOME 90 DEGREE DAYS.

WE  HAVE BEEN OPEN FOR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH NOW, AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT OUT OF 35 DAYS, AT LEAST 25 HAVE NOT BEEN FISHABLE. SCHOOL IS OUT NOW AND SUMMER VACATIONS HAVE STARTED SO I HOPE FOR ALL OF US THAT  THE WEATHER MELLOWS OUT.

THE LONG LAKE SUMMER FUN DERBY IS THE FIRST SATURDAY IN AUGUST. THE GRAND LAKE DERBY IS THE THIRD SATURDAY IN AUGUST. TO ENTER THE LONG LAKE FUN EXTRAVAGANZA,  YOU JUST NEED A LONG LAKE MEMBERSHIP CARD WHICH COSTS $10.00 AND LETS THE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD IN FOR THE FUN. I HAVE TICKETS RIGHT HERE IF YOU NEED ONE. THE  GRAND LAKE DERBY IS FREE, AND YOU NEED NOTHING BUT YOUR SELF TO ENJOY THAT.

      BUCK’S BAIT NOW ACCEPTS VISA, M.C., ETC. SO DON’T HOLD BACK ON ACCOUNT OF LOW CASH FLOW. AND WHILE HERE, BE SURE AND GET THE LATEST LORIE RIG FLY RIGS, AND CRAWLER HARNESSES. THIS IS THE “HOME” OF LORIE RIGS. THESE RIGS WILL AND HAVE CAUGHT PERCH, WALLEYE, BASS AND PIKE. THE FLY RIGS COME IN SEVERAL SIZES AND COLORS, AND THE CRAWLER RIGS NUMBER IN THE HUNDREDS FOR CHOICES. WE ALSO HAVE STAINLESS STEEL HARNESSES FOR THOSE PIKE.

WE ARE CURRENTLY OPEN FROM 8 TO 5, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

WE WILL EXPAND THESE HOURS AS SOON AS WE SEE A NEED.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL VERY SOON.

LORIE  AND BUDD
