4/30/26....
Some shops would call these jumbo leeches. They are actually just a nice large by true industry standards. They are as fresh as they get, and we have them by the ounce or the pound. Our minnows and crawlers are the best in the business also. The shop will be open 6 am to 7pm Friday. Sat and Sun will be 5am to 7pm.

Clear Lake, IA 12/5/25...In case you haven't heard already, we have at least 5" of good ice on just about all the lake. Now we are getting just a little snow, which is good to hide movement. This makes near ideal conditions to start the ice fishing season.

12/01/2025

12/1/25......Clear Lake is capped over. Not just some ice.....It's frozen! We should have waxworms and spikes in by tomorrow afternoon.
