It's a beautiful day for fishing. The warm sunshine is a delight to see and feel, and tomorrow's forecast indicates even warmer temperatures. Minnow Jim's is open this weekend, and we invite you to visit us for all your fishing supply needs. We are currently offering a limited-time promotion on 8-pound bags of ice, reduced from $3.25 to $2.00 per bag, available while supplies last. Furthermore, our fish optics sunglasses featuring bifocal lenses with different strengths are on sale, making it easier to see when rigging your line, marked down from $20.00 to $10.00. Although we have not yet confirmed our hours for next weekend, we will provide an update mid-week. Thank you for being valued customers; we've had a great summer thanks to all of you.
