Trying to keep lakes ice free
Mood:
rushed
WE WILL TRY TO KEEP THE LAKES ICE FREE FOR OUR BIG STOCKING ON MARCH 8TH. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY. WE ARE RUNNING 2 AIR MACHINES CONTINUOUSLY. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IF THE WEATHER DOES NOT COOPERATE WE ARE AT ITS MERCY. WE USED TO HAVE A BOAT TO BREAK UP THE ICE BUT SOMEONE STOLE IT FOR SCRAP METAL. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY THEFTS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH AT PARADISE LAKES. SO FORGIVE US IF YOU SHOW UP AND THERE IS ICE ON THE LAKE BECAUSE WE ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. SO TRY TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING AND REALIZE THAT THE MORE ICE IS OFF THE MORE PEOPLE WE CAN FIT ON THE LAKE. THIS INCREASES OUR BUSINESS AND THE CONTEST PAY OUTS ALSO. SO CONSIDER THAT IF THERE IS ICE ON IT RUINS YOUR DAY AND OURS AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING ANY MAN CAN DO ABOUT THE WEATHER!!!
THANK YOU, JIM ERJAVEC

THINGS TO COME AT PARADISE LAKES
Mood:
a-ok
WE AT PARADISE LAKES ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR TO COME. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUT TONS OF FISH AND TAGS IN THIS YEAR. WE HAVE NUMEROUS CONTESTS AND BONUS MONEY GIVEAWAYS PLANNED FOR THIS YEAR. OUR FIRST BIG EVENT COMES ON SATURDAY, MARCH 8TH WHEN WE PUT A $2000.00 LOAD OF TROUT IN AND OUR FIRST WEDNESDAY STOCKING WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12TH. WE WILL ALSO PUT NUMEROUS TAGS IN AND START SOME MONEY GIVEAWAYS. WE WOULD HAVE ALREADY STOCKED 5 LOADS OF TROUT BEFORE THE MARCH 8TH LOAD. IT SHOULD BE LOADED WITH TROUT!!! WE WILL RUN A MONTHLY AND WEEKLY CONTEST ON TROUT. THE WEEKLY WILL BE THE LONGEST OF THE WEEK AND THE MONTHLY IS WON BY A DRAWING. ANYONE WHO CATCHES A 18 INCH OR BIGGER TROUT IS PUT ON A LIST. YOU CAN BE ON THE LIST MORE THAN ONCE AND WE DRAW A NUMBER AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND THAT PERSON WINS MONEY. IN FEBRUARY IT PAYS $50.00 AND IN MARCH AND APRIL IT PAYS $200.00. THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR THIS. THEN IN APRIL WE ARE LOOKING TO START OUR CAT AND CARP STOCKINGS, WE WILL START STOCKING CHANNEL CATS AND WE WILL GET OUR JUMBO LOAD OF CATS AND CARP AS SOON AS THEY ARE CAUGHT AND AVAILABLE. WE WILL PUT IN 10 CARP TAGS AND NONE OF THEM WILL BE UNDER $100.00 AND THE CATS ARE TAGGED EVERY WEEK. OUR CAT AND CARP MONTHLY AND WEEKLY CONTESTS WILL START IN APRIL AND THE MATCH WEIGHTS WILL BEGIN. MATCH WEIGHTS ARE IF YOU CATCH A FISH A CERTAIN WEIGHT YOU WIN A SET AMOUNT OF MONEY. ALL OF OUR BIG MONEY GIVEAWAYS WILL BE ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND, AND LABOR DAY WEEKEND. OUR ANNUAL FREE FISH FRY IS ALWAYS ON THE SATURDAY OF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. FREE FISH AND OTHER DISHES TO ALL PAYING CUSTOMERS. THIS IS GENERALLY WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING THIS YEAR AND WE HAVE SOME NEW LARGE CAT CONTESTS COMING THIS SUMMER.

YEAR IN REVIEW
Mood:
happy
THE YEAR AT PARADISE LAKES WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL ONE. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING US WHAT WE ARE TODAY!!! YOUR BUSINESS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED AND WE ARE WORKING TO BETTER THE SERVICE FOR YOU. THE YEAR STARTED OUT WITH THE TROUT SEASON. THE WEATHER DID NOT COOPERATE AND WE HAD ICE ON FOR OUR BIG OPENER. THE WEATHER STAYED PRETTY BAD FOR ALL OF MARCH AND SOME OF APRIL. BY THE TIME THE FISH WERE HITTING WELL THE STATE OPENED ITS TROUT SEASON AND THE TROUT FISHING SLOWED AT OUR PLACE. WE ENDED UP STOCKING CATS AND CARP IN APRIL. THE CARP KITTY WAS HIT 3 TIMES AND WE RECEIVED A JUMBO LOAD OF SHOVELHEAD CATFISH. THE CARP AND CATS HIT WELL INTO JULY AND THEN THE WEATHER TURNED HOT AND DRY AND THE BIG FISH SLOWED DOWN BUT LARGE CATS WERE CAUGHT CLEAN INTO SEPTEMBER. WE SHUT DOWN IN OCTOBER FOR A MUCH NEEDED REST. THANKS AGAIN.
