Note: Its mid-November '22. I'm just now getting use to this new fangled web-software. Gilbert Alphin.
Sunday, November 13, 2022 Okay folks, the time has come. Our season has ended.
For lodging, we are offering four-days or more "limited" pre January - February discounts. Our shop will reopen full time next late winter.
Today, we had no fishermen. Its mid November and many days a ghost town, therefore, time to close for the season. This does not mean there are no fish in the waters, its just that we have chores to do. We wish everyone happy holidays and a bright future. Karen and I are looking forward to going to dealership 2023 fishing tackle / beach goods trade shows. We are going to deeply miss Frances. God showed us His Love through her. At the end of Winter-start of Spring 2023, we hope to see all our customers . Gilbert and Karen Alphin.
