alright... I need to go. Can't wait for my wife's next sabbatical when we can actually go do something! Sounds like a riot, and I often have dreams that wake me up, setting the hook, hyperventilating, and sweating like a stuck pig after a tarpon just smashed a giant streamer. Its getting ever so clo...

Can't go wrong with a Calcutta...

My favorite is the st croix big dawg. Its great for pretty much everything, a little heavy for small bucktails and glides and jerkbaits like suicks, but will do anything especially dawgs. My second choice on a budget would probably be the Okuma telescoping EVx rods, in either heavy of X-heavy, for p...

Ive had good work done at Vans sport center in the past although most people will tell ya they are a bit pricy. I also heard good things about Mattison/Maddison ?? By Gun lake. I concur with Vans, the best thing about them is that if its a little older they are almost for sure to have parts. Ive go...

Heard one once about a guy catching the world record on 8the lb flouro and having to lasso it to get it in... oh wait that one happened

I was very worried at first when you could tell most of the crowd was older lake residents who remembered the social issues created in the 80's... and the DNR guys couldn't even get thru the first slide of the presentation without condescending remarks, and hints of opposition. But, like Duke said, ...

hopefully the next one goes better than the last! Also hope it frees up some of the rivers up there during steelhead and slamon runs... the betsie can only handle so many idiots per day. And at the same time I hope they pay close attention to the fishery in the upper boardman to see what and if any ...

I am excited to hear about this at the meeting tonight. The original note posted by Will mentions plans for habitat rehabilitation. Are there any specific plans to work on possibly recreating areas or enhancing areas in the lake where they are able to spawn successfully? Definitely something we (MM...

playin titanic for the opener... can't beat it!

perfect, I was just going to ask someone up there! I am planning on staying on st clair for the weekend... maybe bellaire though.

Pretty much what mayhem said... the only thing I would add is that size structure seems to g o up as you go down stream. But, from what I hear the numbers go down too, which is a farily common scenario. As for your other question about other local lakes, there is plenty up there towards Munising. Th...

Im still going north... at this rate I am curious if the water temps will even get to 40! Either way Ill do some scouting, and learn as much as I can about the system in those water temps. If they are done, Ill fish, if they aren't thinking about starting.. maybe Ill fish, but I more want to see wha...

I was in the new cabelas today and was kind of suprised at the musky selection. Pretty much any backtail/double ten youd ever need. A decent amount of big rubber a few god cranks and lots of suicks and some good topwater. Didnt get a look at terminal tackle or rods and reels but the lure selection w...

with flouro and single strand you do go thru a few a season... or more... so it is much more economical to make your own. You also get to use components you trust on them. I am going to double up my flouro this year and crimp them along with knotting them, because I had a knot come out last year. th...

Good luck Pete! Sorry you have to move the cottage too, I'd love it but like Chris said, not quite in the cards yet. There are some great new lakes to learn down there though, or at least to learn better!
