I have a guy over here who will raise them for at crystal springs trout farm. He wants to be paid in advance for the fingerlings and then the food. W e talked about this last season. The place is in Muskegon and he is willing to get them going any time. Mike

Are the certified for use in any water? If he really wanted to give this a shot why would he not move forward..at least give it a try on his own then once its proved to work, then maybe ask for cash???

He got stuck with a bunch of suckers he raised for a pike club. It took me three years to buy them all. Will knows the story. He wont just raise them . He wants cash up front. Mike

Double LL in Portage/Vicksburg has had them in the past. It's been about 8 months since I've been in there though so I don't know for sure if they have them or not. Sprinkle rd south of Zylman.

No luck. They pretty much only get them during the winter for spearing decoys.

We've already talked and I thought this was a done deal for this spring. This may be a long term investment because I'm not sure if he can get them over 12" by October.

On any other message board people would think you were going to kill some strippers.

Hey Guys, If I catch some suckers out of the titabawassee can I use them on Sanford? Same body of water so VHS isn't a concern right?

Yes its a done deal ,just have to figure out how many we want to raise. And your point is well taken . They may take 2 or three years to get to 12 and above inches. Any way we have some cash to spend on them. People interested need to call me next week say Wednesday. Ill call him tomorrow get him started on finding fingerlings to buy. Mike

Our Acres Bait Shop on M-40 (about a two miles north of Paw Paw) had some nice ones over the winter, "decoys" for the darkhouse folks.

So, a good place to try, nice folks, too. 269-657-5410.
