Hello from the Berkner Pizza family. We would like to give our deepest condolences to the entire Rodney Gustafson family for the tragedy that hit our small community this past Sunday... As most of you already know Rods truck went through the ice on Bigstone lake this past Sunday and Rod did not survive. In times like these we have a very strong and tight community that pulls together to help those affected. Berkner Pizza would like to hold a RODS NIGHT OUT on Thursday 03/06/25 which at this time through out the entire day of sales for our noon and evening buffet along with all take out and delivery orders we will be donating 20% of the total profits for the day to the Gustafson family. Please come and show your support and share memories, laughter, and good food in the honor of Rod Gustafson, a great fisherman and friend to all.. In case you cant make it on Thursday there will be donation jar at Berkner Pizza all week if you would like to donate and help with the expenses for the family. Hope to see you here! Tight line Rod, tight lines.

Very, very difficult to write this post. The area we had warned about in previous posts near Manhattan reef had a pickup go through this morning. Rescue efforts are underway. This makes me sick to my stomach as we try very hard to warn people about bad areas. Anglers NEED TO MARK OPEN AREAS CAUSED BY FISH HOUSE EROSION with tree branches!

NO VEHICLE TRAFFIC ADVISED ON THE ICE.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this accident.

Please, keep comments respectful and join us in prayer also for the rescue workers on site.

Yesterday there was a fair amount of surface water on the ice. Today a lot of it drained or refroze. There is a lot of ice on the lake, how long the landings hold up during the warm days will be the question. We cannot predict the weekend conditions, however atv/utv is a good option. Trucks may be ok for a while. We will do our best to keep you updated, however conditions will change.
