FIRST , OUR CONTEST, JAN. 30, WENT OFF SMOOTHLY. WE HAD A LOT OF CUSTOMERS, AND A LOT OF NICE FISH WERE BROUGHT IN. WE DID NOT HEAR A SINGLE WORD OF CHEATING OR BAD TALK. THANK YOU, EVERY ONE.

THE NEXT BIG EVENT FOR OUR AREA IS ON GRAND LAKE FEB. 13. THIS IS THE 1,000 HOLE EVENT PUT ON BY THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF N.E. MI. WE HAVE LOTS OF TICKETS LEFT RIGHT NOW, BUT DON’T WAIT TOO LONG IF YOU WANT IN ON THIS ONE. TICKETS ARE $25.00 PER HOLE AND $30.00 AFTER THE 7TH OF FEB. CONTEST IS FROM 12 TO 3. GRAND PRIZE IS A 4X4 QUAD !

THE NEXT BIG EVENT IS THE GRAND LAKE ASSOCIATION’S FAMILY FUN DAY DERBY. THERE IS NO FEE, OR REGISTRATION FOR THIS ONE. AND IT HAS A LOT OF PRIZES TO BE AWARDED. THE ENTIRE LAKE IS AVAILABLE FOR THE DERBY.

WE HAVE GREAT ICE, AT LEAST 12 INCHES THICK, AND THERE HAVE BEEN QUADS, SNOWMOBILES, AND EVEN CARS AND TRUCKS HAVE BEEN SEEN OUT THERE. WE DO NOT EVER RECOMMEND USING CARS AND TRUCKS, BUT THAT IS YOUR DECISION.

DEEP WATER HAS BEEN THE BEST AREAS TO BE IN, AND THE BAITS HAVE BEEN WIDE SPREAD. BLUES MAINLY, BUT SOME PERCH MINNOWS, GREYS, WIGGLERS, WAXWORMS, AND SUCKERS. A NEW LURE THAT IS WORKING VERY WELL IS OUR NEW ICE FLY RIG, MADE BY LORIE RIGS, AND AVAILABLE ONLY HERE. YOU CAN USE THESE RIGS FOR PERCH, WITH MINNOWS, WAXIES, OR WIGGLERS. THEY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH JIGGING AND TIP UPS. ASK TO SEE THEM WHEN YOU COME IN, IF WE HAVE ANY LEFT.

WE ARE OPEN 6:30 TO 5 EVERY DAY.
HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
LORIE AND BUDD
