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 apologize for the inconvenience of not being open on Wednesday. The opening employee had the flu and couldn't make it in. We tried our best to get someone in but no one else available.

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.
