Islanders gather for "Survivor" Pot Luck

Many islanders shared a dish at the annual commemoration of the fire that nearly closed J.F. Walleye's forever. The fire was October 19th 2002. The previous owner and founder of J.F. Walleye's, Bill Gross from Monroe Michigan, rebuilt Walleye's and it opened again in July of 2003. Each yaer now, a dinner pot luck party is one of the final events of the season, except for the huge Halloween Party.

Blue Lagoon is crystal clear and refreshing!

The Blue Lagoon here at J.F. Walleye's is in great shape again thanks to the meticulous attention fro our team here! Over 1000 people enjoyed the refreshing water and beverages over the 4th of July weekend.

Summer is in full gear at Walleye'sand so is the Micro Brew!

June was a little rough as far as weather goes, but there is always fun at Walleye's! We are the only bar/restaurant on the island with complete climate control....whatever the need, heat or air! No battling the bugs when you party with us. Also, J.F. Walleye's has the BEST micro brewed beer on the island! We competed at the IX Center Beer Fest in May. We've already had Dan, our brewmaster, out to make beer a few times. At the time of this writing, Walleye's has the only microbrew available on the island!

Stop by to meet him and of course while you are there try the special brews he made and give us your vote! Walleye's is the BEST microbrew on Middle Bass Island, and possibly the best Microbrew on all the islands!
