Update: Talking with Xcel, seems to be something with the underground. So it could be all day... Keeping everyone posted with what we figure out.

Some unfortunate news but, this morning Prior Lake Bait and Tackle will be closed until the power is restored. Estimated restore time is 11am or possibly earlier. Currently unknown for the cause but it's been out throughout the night.

On an unfortunate note to whoever decided to write on our front door an inappropriate message we wish you could have been more of an adult about it.

WE ARE NOW OPEN TODAY!

Bait just came in! Crappie, Fatheads, Shiners, Suckers (Sm. Md. and Lg.) Waxes and Euros!

Dont have a full Ice report but word of ear is a couple people said bay areas are having 2-4" earlier this week. But THAT DOESNT MEAN DONT BE SAFE. Use your spud stick if you have one and BE SAFE out there if planning on going out.

Its an itch that needs to be scratched but sometimes you just got to leave it alone.
