Fishing Report

October 29, 2008

With the sun shining yesterday and again today, the guys are out getting some walleyes. Spot tail shiners are doing the trick. Sounds like tomorrow will be around 60 degrees and nice weather for Friday and Saturday also.

Get in these last fall days of fishing while you can.

See you out on the lake.

Not much happening on the lakes over the weekend. Weather has been cold and windy. I have been busy cleaning some guns, putting on scopes and getting out inventory, all for the big deer opener coming up on the 8th.

Hope you will stop in and check us out, when your in the area. We are a big game registration station.

Good luck hunting.

Kind of a wet, cool day here today. Not too many guys heading out on the lakes, but those who are, are getting walleyes on Cass, Winnie and Leech. Minnows are the ticket.

Good fishing.

Fishing Report

October 20, 2008

Well, we have had nice weather the last couple of days; temps in the 40's and the trees are losing most of their leaves now. There are a few duck hunters out and about. Ducks are starting to come down now. I put in my order for a few more blaze orange vests, stocking hats and some gloves. We got most of the hunting stuff out this weekend.

Deer hunting seems to be the major topic now. We will be having our biggest buck and doe contest again this year, for rifle season. Entry fee is $5.00. Biggest buck prizes are: lst place, a Remington Model 715 300 Winchester Magnum; 2nd place, a $50.00 gift certificate and 3rd place a Bear & Sons buck knife. Biggest doe, 1st place is an Optima Pro .50 caliber muzzleloader and 2nd place a $50.00 gift certificate. Hunters must register by the end of the business day, November 7, 2008 and prizes will be awarded November 24, 2008.

There are still a few walleye fishermen out. Some guys are doing well in deep water. If the sun is shining, it's nice to be out on the water. Just remember to bring that extra coat along and like my Gramma Myrt always said, "Put on those snuggies!"

Please stop in and say Hi when your up in our area.

Good fishing and hunting!

Well the rain has finally stopped and we have a beautiful, sunny day today. Fishing on Cass Lake has picked up. There are some walleye being caught in 20 to 25 feet of water using shinners. In the evening, they are finding them in shallower, around the weed lines.

Hope you will be able to get up north this weekend. Maybe you can get in some fishing or hunting and enjoy the great Fall weather.

Stop in and say Hi when your in the area.

Good fishing,

Froggy's Hunting Trip

October 9, 2008

Mike, from Anchorage, Alaska asked for an update on Froggy's hunting trip and duck hunting in the area. So here goes: Froggy and his buddy Troy each got 3 whitetail deer with their bows. They had one real cold night, when the heater wouldn't work in their tent. Guess they had to snuggle a little. What are buddies for! Froggy said he was glad to get home and sleep in his own bed.

Froggy had a mountain lion walk right under his stand one night. He said that didn't bother him; it was when it got dark and he had to leave the stand, that the hair stood up on his neck and he made a bee-line for the camp!

Elk were bugling in the field where the deer usually come out to feed; so they had to hike further up the mountain to where the deer were being chased. Troy's dad, the "Old Timer" also went along. He had just gotten out of the hospital about a month ago from a serious head injury. Froggy said he made it up to the top of the mountain. Way to go "Old Timer". You've come a long way in just a couple of months.

On the way through the Dakotas they had a successful rifle hunt for antelope. Froggy makes the best wild rice dish with mushrooms and antelope you have ever tasted. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

They found a little mexican restaurant along the way and Froggy said it was the best he had tasted since his honeymoon in Mexico.

All in all they had a great trip and their deer and antelope are being processed. Froggy made an l8 hour trip home, non-stop. He says he's not going to do that again. He was really wiped out.

Now to duck hunting. I had heard earlier that the ducks were scarce, but most of the groups that stopped in had fairly good luck. If you found the right spot, the ducks were plentiful.

We had the cystic fibrosis tournament too last weekend out of Break on the Lake. There was one walleye weighing in at a little over 6 lbs and one over 5 lbs. The first place winners came in with a catch just over 17 pounds.

It seemed to be a good weekend for duck hunting and fishing.

Take care, now. Stop in and see us when you can.

Hey, Mike, do you duck hunt around Anchorage? Keep in touch with us.

Fishing Report

October 2, 2008

Froggy is gone this week, bow hunting in Wyoming and on their way back, they will rifle hunt for antelope in the Dakotas. It's his yearly hunt him and his buddy Troy and Troy's Dad have done for the past few years. They always have good hunting and lots of fun. We'll hear lots of hunting stories when they get back!

Fishing on Cass has been good. Mobile seems to be the way to go. Some guys are catching limits around 8 to 10 feet and then again we're hearing around 20 feet. Jig and minnow are what they're using.

Sucker Bay on Leech has been doing well, using fatheads and rainbows. Weather has been great.

We have duck hunters coming up this weekend and I hope they will get a chance to get in a little fishing too. With weather like this, it's just great to get out and enjoy it.

Hope when your up in the area, you will stop in to say Hi.
