I would'nt put it past the "big money guys" who are making money off the shipping to actually dump the asian carp into Lake Michigan. Once they can prove the fish are already there they can claim there is no reason to shut the locks down because its too late to stop them. Its all about the Benjamins....

There was a very interesting show on one of the Discovery channels, or National Geographic last month. They said the Great Lakes are less than 15,000 years old, and the bottoms of the lakes are actually rising more than 1/2" per year now that the weight of the glaciers is off of them. As the bottom rises, the water quantity in them gets smaller, and there is even less weight on the bottoms, so the lake bottoms rise even faster. Additionally, the mouth of the Niagra River at the falls recedes 3' per year due to erosion, and in 1000 years the mouth of it will be at the shore of the "big lake" and will actually drain all of the Great Lakes. Pretty interesting show...glad I won't be around to see Lake St Clair turn into a swamp.

Hi guys...I'm BAAAACK!!! I lost track of this site a few years ago from working too many hours. I finally retired and planned on lots of salmon fishing, till a nasty shoulder surgury last year put my left arm out of commission for heavy stuff like fighting salmon. I'll resume ice fishing this winter, do walleye in the spring but will have to sell most of my salmon gear. I'll keep two downriggers, some spoons and 4 rods for taking out friends occasionally and let them do the catching. I'm looking forward to catching up on things and enjoying some fresh air. The site looks greatly improved....congrats to the admins! It will be fun catching up on things again. Glenn
