We are happy to help out local cancer patients.

Thank you to the Friends and Family of the Russell Classic Organization for matching all donations we received on GivingTuesday. Your support helps us to purchase 400 cases of nutrition for local cancer patients. We are truly grateful for your generosity and support.

This we are teaming up with Cancer Services to provide zip tees to cancer patients in our community.

The Russell Classic is going to match every dollar, up to $5,000. If you are interested in donating call Cancer Services at 419-626-4548 or visit their website https://www.cancerresources.org/donate/donate-online/

Zip tees help cancer patients to have comfort, dignity, and privacy during their chemotherapy treatments. Zip tees allow nurses to easily access a patient's port without needing to undress or pull their shirt down. When you donate $20 you are helping to provide two zip tees to cancer patients in our community.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't forget is November 30th.

Due to COVID-19 and the lack of perch in Lake Erie this year, we are sad to have to cancel the Russell Classic. We look forward to seeing everyone next year! Stay healthy and stay safe.

Pipe Creek has confirmed they just got new shipment of minnows in. They are Lake Erie Shiners. She will be open at 5:45 tomorrow morning. Make sure to get your fishing licenses online tonight or elsewhere. They will not be available at the store.

We got the bait, now we just need to find the perch. See everyone tomorrow and good luck!

The Russell Classic is just right around the corner. I hope that everyone has their boats in the water by now. The Sail INN will be open for breakfast on Saturday at 5am for Bloody Mary's, Beer, and
Breakfast.

Currently Pipe Creek Marina has minnows in stock and will be opening early around 5:45am. We will be checking back in with her on Thursday to confirm that they have minnows. Also available at Pipe Creek will be two free bags of ice from Sandusky Ice. Just let her know that you are in the Russell. Pipe Creek Marina also asks that everyone that gets their fishing licenses online or elsewhere, as she will be too busy that morning to get minnows and licenses to everyone. So licenses will not be available there.

The official weigh in station will be at The
Lake Fish Company (1014 West Water Street) between 2-2:30 pm. Don't be late and make sure to give your fish to one of the Russell Classic weigh in team for an accurate count and weighing of fish.

The banquet will held at the American Legion Post 83 (3615 Hayes Ave) immediately following the weigh in. Extra Dinner tickets will be
available at the door.

We are going to have shirt pick-up and last minute money drop off this Thursday at 6:30 at my house at 502 West Bogart Rd (Between Columbus and Campbell). If you need to make any other arrangements for shirts and entry fees please send us a message.
