THE ANNUAL LONG LAKE FISHING DERBY IS SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 2008. THIS IS A FAMILY FUN DAY FOR ALL MEMEBERS, AND ONLY COSTS $10.00 TO GET IN. YOU NEED A LONG LAKE ASSOCIATION CARD TO BE ELIGIBLE. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE, YOUR FAMILY IS ALL SET. IF NOT YOU CAN BUY ONE HERE AT BUCK’S OR AT THE DODGE MARINA. YOU MAY ALSO BUY ONE THE DAY OF THE DERBY AT DODGE MARINA. THE MONEY FOR THESE DUES GOES TO HELP STOCK FISH IN LONG LAKE, AND TO HELP FIGHT CORMORANTS IN THE SPRING. YOU ALSO RECEIVE A NEWS LETTER TELLING YOU OF THE GROUPS’ ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON LONG LAKE.

 YOU NEED NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR CARD TO BE IN THE FISH CONTEST, AND THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BRING YOUR FISH TO DODGE MARINA BY 3 PM. IT STARTS AT 7 AM. ALL KIDS UNDER 13 WILL RECEIVE A PRIZE. WE WANT YOU TO WIN, SO PLEASE GET INTO THE FUN

PEPSI WILL BE PROVIDING FREE SODAS. THANK YOU PEPSI COLA, AND PAT HESS.

THE FISHING THIS WEEK HAS BEEN VERY GOOD AND SO HAS THE WEATHER. I AM HEARING ABOUT WALLEYE IN BOTH LAKES BEING CAUGHT IN DEPTHS FROM 6 TO 19 FEET. STILL A LOT OF BASS AND PIKE, AND A GOOD NUMBER OF PERCH AS WELL.HOT’N’TOTS AND LORIE RIGS ARE STILL YOUR BEST BETS. OTHER LURES WORK, BUT THESE ARE WHAT WE SELL THE MOST OF, BY FAR. AND LEECHES HAVE BECOME VERY PRODUCTIVE AS WELL.

HOPE TO SEE YO SOON

OPEN 7 TO 6

MONDAY 12 TO 6
