Buck’s Hardware report for this week:
On July 27 our week-long Fisherman’s Picnic contest begins. Prizes range from $100 for first, $75 for second and $50 for third in each of six categories: Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout, Salmon, and Brook Trout.
We will have our board up all week so you can keep track of the current leaders. We will also try to update our website regularly. So everyone gear up and get ready, it’s time to test that fishing ability against others.
Capt. Jerry Skarupa of Secret Lures reports that not much has changed from last week.
Francis Drouillard IV had a great day on the water with his grandparents, Francis “Pooty” and Joyce Drouillard of Grand Portage. They caught this fine fish on the Pigeon River. Francis shared the fish with his aunt Staci who prepared a delicious family dinner.
Lake Superior water surface temps are fragile depending on the wind. There are a few salmon in scattered depths. Lake trout are close to the bottom from 150 to 180 feet.
