JULY 1, 2008

THIS IS BUCK’S BAIT AND TACKLE, 1977. QUITE A DIFFERENT VIEW NOW.

WELL THE 4 OF JULY IS ALMOST HERE, AND OUR CUSTOMERS ARE HERE. THANKS FOR COMING IN. THE FISHING HAS BEEN VERY GOOD ON LONG AND GRAND LAKE. STILL LOTS OF WALLEYE AND BASS, AND A GOOD NUMBER OF PIKE AS WELL. SOME PERCH HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE WEED BEDS, AND MOST PEOPLE FISHING ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. CRAWLERS AND LORIE RIGS ARE THE BEST TO USE FOR WALLEYE. WE HAVE SOME NEW COLORS THAT ARE REALLY WORKING WELL, AND WE’LL BE GLAD TO SHOW THEM OFF TO YOU WHEN YOU COME IN. WE’LL ALSO TELL YOU THE BEST AREAS, AND DEPTHS  AS KNOWN DAILY.

ROCKPORT HARBOR ON LAKE HURON IS STILL SURROUNDED BY FISH. ATLANTIC SALMON, PIKE, BROWNS AND STEELHEAD. I DON’T THINK THIS WILL LAST MUCH LONGER, DUE TO THE HEAT, BUT TONIGHT WE HAVE A LOW OF 48, SO WHO KNOWS. MINNOWS AND SMALL SPOONS FOR THESE GUYS, RIGHT OFF THE PIER.

YESTERDAY I HEARD SOME CHATTER ON THE MARINE RADIO. “FOUR IN THE BOX, MISSED ONE,” AND SO ON. ONE ANGLER EVEN SAID HE HAD ONE SCREAMER. A FAR CRY FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS, BUT STILL A GOOD SIGN. THESE FISH ARE GOOD AND HEALTHY LOOKING TOO. KINGS, ATLANTIC, AND WALLEYE AS WELL AS LAKE TROUT.

 THE WEATHER PICTURE FOR THE 4TH LOOKS GOOD. MID 70’S, AND NO RAIN. WE’LL TAKE IT.

WE’RE OPEN 7 TO 6 DAILY

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON

BUDD AND LORIE
