News from the shop!
Week 4 of the Great Gobbler Contest has come and gone with some new happenings.
This past week was won by female hunter Julie Coon. Julie's tom turkey scored a whopping 72.3125, nearly edging out Terry Brown who is still the overall leader with a bird that scores 72.625. Julie is also now the overall women's leader for the contest...
If you haven't bagged a tom yet, you still have until the end of the month!
Thermacell Bug repellant systems are still hot items at Watson's. These units are slick tricks for keeping yourself bug free in the turkey woods, and Watson's stocks a good selection of units and refill cartridges.
New to the shop are Cobra marine radio's. These are must for any boater without a radio on the water. These units are built strong and made for the abuse of offshore fishing. Stop in and check them out.
Shop master Drew Watson is happy to announce that the new line up of Fenwick fishing rods have arrived. The store now has a stock of graphite ranging from 5ft ultra-light rods to steelhead and salmon sticks. Fenwick is a big name in the fishing rod business and they stand behind their products.
For the salmon anglers, Watson's now has a new shipment of Shark Cannon Balls. These highend downrigger balls have a very strong following. Chrome models in 12lbs are a hard item to find come salmon time and you can now get them in the store!

This goregeous over and under style 12 gauge is the perfect entry level shotgun for either a wing shooter or sport shooting at the range.

Local hunting and fishing news!
Turkeys are gobbling hard the past week. As we near the end of May, hens begin to spend more time on the nest, leaving gobblers looking for love during the day. Toms respond well to the call right now if you can find time to be in the woods. Bugs are bad with the recent trend in weather, so grab a thermacell and get hunting! Time is running out if you don't bag a bird this week! Keep your eyes to the forest floor while your out and about. Reports for the tasty MOREL MUSHROOM indicate that this year is a banner for these tasty treats.
Lake Huron salmon fishing is picking up. The Fish Kincardine derby is on right now, and the reports have been good. Fish have been coming from local ports on Huron. Anglers are targeting salmon and trout off planer boards, divers and rigger sets. Concentrate near the surface where the water is warm. Hotfish spoons have been steady producers for offshore anglers in the know. The derby wraps up this weekend, so you still have a chance to put a fish on top of the board...updates can be viewed here....http://www.fishkincardinederby.com/.
Salmon fishing has been decent in both Wiarton and Owen Sound Bay's the past week. Pay attention to temp changes on the surface and work your lures through these breaks accordingly. With warmer temps, fish tend to concentrate in the upper water column, usually not appearing on sonar. Don't let this fool you!
