Fishing Report

November 29, 2013

Bait is starting to go out the door.  Smaller lakes have 6 to 7 inches of ice.  You still need to be cautious.  We are hearing around that 3 to 4 inches on some of the area larger lakes.    We will keep you informed as we hear any news.

Stay safe!  Good fishing!

Fishing Report

November 27, 2013

We got our heavy northern and decoy minnows in yesterday.  It is making ice!  The little lakes and ponds are frozen and the bays are freezing out on the big lakes.  If the temps continue and the winds aren't too strong, a week will make a big difference for the bigger lakes.

We wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving Day.  Froggy's Sports will be closed tomorrow and open again Friday.  This year, the Old Toad and I will be having Thanksgiving dinner at our house.  I plan on cooking most of the day tomorrow.  Turkey and all the trimmings and of course, pie!  Froggy and Mrs. Froggy are invited to friends in Brainerd.  Jerimiah is in Egypt, Crissy will be working and Ben will be at his mom's; and of course our daughter, Melissa and her guy, Captain Ed, will be spending their Thanksgiving in Anchorage, Alaska.   Those of us who can, will get together for turkey leftovers and pie when their schedules permit.  We just love holiday leftovers!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Fishing Report

November 21, 2013

We have our winter inventory out now and just have to get a few spears in the store yet.  We got our decoys in this week from Duey's Decoys and Lake Superior Decoys.  Froggy even got a few ice saws from Finland.  He is anxious to try one out and has been busy getting his rental houses ready to go.

I had a couple guys in this afternoon getting minnows to head up to Red Lake this weekend.  I suggested that they make sure and wear their life jackets.  It is better to be safe then sorry.  Midge Lake has been frozen over for a couple of days now.  With the cold weather coming this weekend, the bays should start to ice over on the bigger lakes, provided that the wind doesn't blow 20 miles an hour.  Everyone is getting anxious.

It's time for me to get out my old "snuggies".  It takes a while to get used to the cold weather.  The Old Toad laughes at me, but on really cold nights, I even put on my stocking hat, when I go to bed.  It really does help keep you warm.

We are looking forward to seeing the fishermen and the ice houses coming back up in the area.  Stay safe and stay warm!

Stop by when your in the area.

Good fishing!

Hunting Report

November 14, 2013

Froggy got in some ammo yesterday.  We now have 270, 223 and 6.5 shells.

Deer hunting has been slow so far this season.   Not  as many coming in for registration and we are hearing that there just isn't that many deer being seen.  It is suppose to be a nice weekend, weather wise, and then get cold again on Monday.  Hopefully the deer will be moving

Some of the smaller ponds are starting to ice over and I see that the bay on the north end of Big Wolf had ice on it this monring.  With a couple of nice days coming up, I don't know if the ice will stay.  It is suppose to get cold again on Monday and it does get below freezing each night.  It's coming!!

Have a good weekend and good hunting!

Deer Hunting Opener

November 8, 2013

Well another year has gone bye and it's deer opener tomorrow!  Just want to say we wish all you hunters safe travel and a safe and successful hunt!  If your in the area, stop by and say Hi.  We have been selling quite a bit of ammunition this week.  Still can't seem to get 270 rifle shells or 22 shells yet.  We will keep on trying.  Most of the distributors are saying that ammo is gone before it even gets into their warehouses.  This is really crazy.

We are still working on our inventory orders for this winter and next summer.  We get a few boxes taken care of each day.  Thanks to Auntie Mitz and the Old Toad for all their help.  It will come, a little at a time.

Sounds like we might even get a little snow for this weekend, which will be great for tracking deer.  Froggy, Mrs. Froggy, Crissy and Ben are heading out to the hunting land this afternoon and will be camping out for the weekend.  Have a safe hunt family!  The Old Toad and I like that venison sausage that Froggy has made, so we are hoping for a successful hunt too!

Good luck and safe hunting to all you hunters!

Fishing Report

November 2, 2013

Gosh what a beautiful day!  We actually had a few guys in for minnows  Hope you were able to get out and enjoy this one.  Don't think we will be getting too many more of these kind of days, but then who knows.  We just can't out guess Mother Nature!

We have been busy with our winter and summer inventory orders.  We received our big orders this week and now we are marking and finding room to display everything. 

We are starting to sell quite alot of deer licenses.  It's hard to think about deer hunting on a day like today, but it is just around the corner.  Froggy went out to his hunting spot today to work on some stands.

Hope you got a chance to get the boat in the water for one more time.  It was just a perfect day.

See you out on the water.

Good fishing!
