Next weekend, Feb 14, will be our super bowl of ice fishing in this area.That weekend is the winter free fish weekend, which means all anglers from all states and countries even, will need no fishing license for that weekend. It is Valentines weekend, and the biggest ice tournament of winter in NE Michigan will happen. You will have a chance to fish with your Valentine, win prizes for fishing, c’mon, how great it that ? And the grand prize is a Camo Gator. Oh yeah, and 30 wonderful prizes, random in value but all great prizes. If you want to know more, go to www.icefishingalpena.com.

You’ll need the best bait and tackle you can buy to fish this event. Leave all your other lake stuff home and come here and get the right stuff, seriously. Just ask Lorie to show you how her Lorie Rigs work, get some bait, and go win !

Also, while you are out and about on Grand Lake anyway, why not get into the Grand Lake Association tournament, the same day, no charge, no sign up, just bring fish to the north end of the lake and weigh in for prizes. FREE prizes, free fish weekend, wow, what a way to impress your soul mate on Valentines day, bring your girl friend too, we don’t care.

The ice is about 20 to 24 inches thick, about 4 inches of snow, just right for you ! And as you can see from our photos, fishing is great !
