You have to try it. Bring cash or a check (really). No credit cards.
Amazing food in a great setting at relatively cheap prices and very nice
people. Reservations on the weekends are best but they have a huge bar
while you wait.

Ever have the steaks? Hard to find a good T-bone.
I'll check it out if I get up there.
Hey, somehow I got to this after seeing the map of the
Chain on that link.

"Down the road from Sequoit Harbor is Sorenson's Bait Shop, a tiny
wood-frame store where algae-filled water lapped at the front door.
There, customer Bill Kozlowski, 69, of Chicago said he couldn't
believe his good fortune.
"[The flooding is] good for me because the walleye come up close,"
Kozlowski said. "I'm loving it. There's no pleasure boater, nobody is
kicking up the waves. There are no water skiers. It's a good time for
us fishermen."

This guy might have the right idea, but I think he's dreaming about
those walleyes. Maybe he can spear some carp.
My uncle had a resort by Sorenson's on Lake Marie when I was a kid.
A resort there means a bar and a pier. Maybe a beach and some 12-14
footers to rent. If you rent rooms, it becomes a "Luxury Resort."
Didn't last long, because his 2 competing favorite things were fishing
and drinking. Drinking won.
My cousin showed me how to spear carp off the pier there.
Bugs would hit the hot bulbs of the pier lights at night, fall in the
water, and the carp would suck them up.
They were easily spooked and you really had to sneak up on them.
It was fun until I actually speared one. Since it had no use to me, I
got to thinking why I killed it.
But carp were universally despised by fishermen for tearing up
gamefish nesting beds, so I still slept ok.

I always have a steak and 1-2 lobster tails (they aren't huge). They
cook them in a huge BBQ grill in the middle of the main dining room.
Don't miss it - you WILL go back!

I'll make a point of trying to get there.
