Faith in Action Raffle

Just a reminder that the big Faith in Action raffle will be coming to an end soon. This is a really worth while fund raiser. People helping people get to doctor appointments, doing yard work, building ramps and whatever else someone might need done.

The drawing will be November 10th and there have been only 107 tickets sold, as of yesterday. The first prize is a 4 wheeler and trailer and $2,000 cash. The tickets are $100 each and all of the money goes back into giving those who need it, a helping hand.

I hope the raffle will be a success for Faith in Action, so they can keep lending that helping hand to those who need it. My sister's family has needed their help and support, so this is something near and dear to our hearts.

Thanks to you all.

When the sun is shining, the days have been really nice. Nights are getting cool though. My sister and I tried to sit out in front of Froggy's today, but didn't last too long!

We have been plugging along, trying to get our inventory done. It is a boring job, but thanks to the Old Toad, my sister, Mitz and my grandson, Mia, we have gotten most of it done this week. Dick will finish up in the back room for us. Froggy will be getting back from beet hauling just in time to miss the inventory counting. Bet he will really feel bad!

There were quite a few people out and about the last couple of days and fishing has been good. With the days still so nice, everyone is anxious to get out, do some fishing and hunting and get the fall chores done.

Fall is my favorite time of year, but I do miss all our friends and family we get to see during our busy summer season.

Deer hunting will be starting before you know it. Don't forget to sign up for our Big Buck and Big Doe contest.

Thanks to all for your business again this summer and we hope to see you during hunting season or for sure, when the lakes freeze over and ice fishing starts up.

The beet haul is some long hours for Froggy, but he and his dad have always enjoyed truck driving too. We sure will be glad to have him back home and at the store.

Have a good weekend everyone. Stop by and see us when your in the area.

Fishing Report

October 8, 2010

What a great day! Weather has been just perfect. We will take every day of this kind of weather that we can.

Walleye and perch have really been biting. On Cass they are working 18 to 25 feet during the day and then off the weed lines in the evening. Jig and minnow are doing the trick. Rainbows have been the minnow of choice. We do have spot tail shiners in now also.

Froggy is still hauling beets, but we are hoping that he will be back in a couple of days, depending on the weather. Sure will be good to have him back!

This will be a great weekend to get out on the lake, enjoy the fishing and this great Minnesota weather. Don't forget to stop in and say Hi when your in the area.

Fishing Report

October 5,2010

What a beautiful day! Sun is shining and the leaves on the trees are just really something to see. Hope you all get a chance to enjoy each day of this weather for as long as it lasts.

Froggy is hauling beets for a couple of weeks, so this is Mama Froggy reporting in!

The Cystic Fibrosis tournament was a success, lots of really nice walleye were caught and released and the weather couldn't have been better.

Walleye and perch are still biting on Cass. Minnows seem to be the ticket.

The majority of our tourists are leaving now, closing up their cabins. The ones that are still around are enjoying the great weather, good fishing and some grouse hunting. We will take every day of this nice weather that we get!

Froggy has put out the Big Buck and Big Doe rifles for all to see. Biggest buck wins a 270 Rem. rifle and the biggest doe wins a 243 Rem. rifle. Second prizes are a Buck & Son fillet knife. Entry fee is $5.00 each and contest runs through rifle season, November 6th through 2 1st I believe.

Stop by when your in the area. Have a great day.

Perch bite is on in about 8 feet of water. Still catching walleye on Cass, Winnie and Leech has also picked up.

Cystic Fibrosis tournament is happening on Cass tomorrow. Runs from 8 AM to 3 PM. Good luck to all the fishermen and gals.

Sounds like it is going to get cold over night this weekend, but should be decent during the day.

Have a good weekend.

Hope to see you on the water.

Good fishing.

Fishing Report

Sepember 21, 2010

Fall is definitely in the air. Leaves are turning on the trees and we have had several weather fronts coming through, giving us rain every couple of days.

Fishing has been pretty good. Better for some then others. Still working breaks and bars around 25 feet during the day and the shad raps and rapajas in the evening off the weed lines.

There is a walleye tournament on Leech this weekend and don't forget the Cystic Fibrosis Tournament from Break on the Lake on October 2nd.

There are still a few bear being registered, but count seems to be down for us this year. Grouse hunters are out now, so I'm sure bear won't be roaming around as much any more and according to the Bear Center up in Ely, the bear are selecting their dens already.

Water temperatures are in the mid 60's and water levels are high with all the rain we have had. There should be some good fall fishing yet to come. This had been an awesome summer for Cass Lake and Winnie, as far as the fishing goes.

Hope to see you out on the water.

Good Fishing!

Fishing Report

September 8, 2010

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Fall is in the air and the water temps are going down. I would guess water temps should be in the mid 60's by next week. Cass and Winnie are still doing well with the walleye bite. We heard that Leech is producing some real nice payfish. Today was one of the nicest days we have had in the last few. Sunny and very little wind made it a good day to be out doing just about anything.

I don't know where the summer went. Me and my father-in-law each got our bear the other night. Average size and should be good eating.

We have been busy selling deer hunting licenses and duck stamps. Hope you will all get a chance to get out and enjoy the fall weather. Some of the best fishing is yet to come.

Hope to see you out on the water.

Good Fishing!
