" EARLY FALL IS UPON US ! "

NIghts are cooler, and we have gotten rain and it has been a real Trigger for the . . .
"
TOOTH-ED CREATURES OF THE DEEEEEEEEP !!!"

Pike have seen the biggest improvement with surprising news out of Three Oaks, Zurich, Chain and Busse.

Water levels up and the drop in temps is bringing the Pike out of the Deep (and 'Ski's) closer to shore.

Gills, Crappie and White Bass have also been excellent . . . Probably what the tooth-ed are looking to eat-ed . . .

*** (suckers are in, limited amounts, cash only on suckers, you know the drill)***

Bass still biting, Walleye have been . . .
. . " IMPROVIN' BUT MOVIN' TO FIND THEIR SEASONAL GROOVIN' !!! " . . .

Cats and Carp starting to BULK-UP for Winter . . . and are FEEDING !!!

The Salmon and Lake Michigan Trout seas-in are really start-in to get roll-in . . . . So you better get go-in . . .

*** WE KEEP REFILLING THE SALMON SPOONS, LINE, FLOURO, HOOKS, SPAWN, GLOW CRANKS, COMBOS, RODS, REELS AND EVEN A FEW BAIT SHANTY . . . SECRETS BAITS . . . FOR THE SALMON AS WELL !!!

And last of all I'll leave you with a question . . . . ? . . . .
