(Report by Jim) Still a blackout in Leland. Today’s photos are by Erhardt Peters, turn of the century photographer from Ludington and Leland. Fishing was year-round as long as the ice was passable. And if the ice wasn’t passable, they made it passable. According to Joel Petersen, the rocking made it easier to move through the ice. This is circa 1930’s

(Report by Keith -12/26/15  Still a lot power out in the area along with cable

My father (the original Van to come to Leland) talked about these older days in fishing country. Thanks for pictures of them!
