Hello all!

We are here in Grand Rapids at the DeVos Place, set up and ready to go for the Ultimate Sport Show – Grand Rapids!

The weather is great, people are fishing in the river right behind the DeVos Place, and spring is right around the corner! Opening day for the 2025 fishing season is fast approaching. We look forward to seeing familiar faces, and invite all new anglers to come meet us in person before venturing north to Wabatongushi Lake this summer.

The show opens today at 1 pm and closes on Sunday at 5 pm. Stop by and see us in booth 1156. Rowan, Jim and Joon will all be there as well as yours truly. Here are the show hours:

• Thursday, March 13      1:00PM – 8:00PM
• Friday, March 14         12:00PM – 8:00PM
• Saturday, March 15     10:00AM – 8:00PM
• Sunday, March 16       10:00AM – 5:00PM

This show is full of tackle and great exhibits, so if you are looking for something to do this weekend, plan on coming down!

It’s one of the biggest shows in the midwest and can easily take all day to explore. Visit us in booth 1103! The show runs through Sunday, January 12th.

It’s looking a lot like Christmas! The lake is blanketed with snow and the temperature right now is a balmy minus 30 at the lodge. It’s a great time to reflect on the last year and be thankful for all the wonderful friends and family that we have. We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a very happy, healthy new year!

Make sure you attend one of our upcoming sport shows! Stop by and say hello, hang out for a while and chat with us! We’ll have a number of familiar faces in the booth this year and also a few guest appearances!

With the mild weather that we’ve been experiencing this winter, it looks like the lake will be opening up much earlier than normal. That will give us lots of time to work on projects before opening day, May 18th. We’re all excited to get back into camp! Much of our crew from last season is returning, so you’ll all see a lot of familiar faces!

We still have dates open this year, so if you are not booked yet, give us a call, e-mail  or stop by the Grand Rapids show so we can get you in the book!
