SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Four people are recovering from a boat explosion in South Haven Monday morning. It happened just before 2:00 Sunday afternoon on the Black River. The fire quickly spread to several nearby boats, causing tens of thousands of dollars of damage. Firefighters say a man, woman and child were on the boat when it exploded. Witnesses say they suffered serious burns. Another man who was standing nearby also got hurt and went to the hospital with injuries. One witness says the explosion was so strong the roof of the boat flew off and almost hit him. "All I heard was a loud noise and I saw the roof of the boat flying towards me and so I ran this way and something hit me in the back, shoved me towards my boat," said Steve Eberhard. Several witnesses say the boat's owner was refueling when the explosion happened. Firefighters aren't saying yet if that is what caused it, but they did say that refueling the boat where it was located is illegal. Story

I have a sick son(Wyatt) and have to change my plans. I will not be out in the morning.

There is cold water in close. I am fishing out of Muskegon on Saturday. I will be setting lines on the way through the pier heads and running the same pattern as Jim. I probably wont break 40FOW.

*bump*

His report was posted before the lake rolled over on Wednesday. Reports help, but we still need to follow the weather. I am fishing this weekend, and have been watching the weather all week.

Just tell them you have to run to the store for a couple of hours.

I will be out front.

I will be out Saturday morning.

Nice buck Bill!

For example, to use offshore wind energy to satisfy all of Michigan's power demands, the state would need to plop 11,469 wind turbines 10 kilometers offshore at a depth of 60 meters, according to the study, authored by Charles McKeown and Soji Adelaja. I clipped this from the story. Just what we need.....11,469 wind turbines in 195FOW. I can see it now....we will be trolling around nets and wind turbines. Maybe they should put in some oil rigs also.....

Nice job Jason. I am not sure about the nets.

I forgot Wednesday was opening day of archery season. The chat will be on Thursday night instead instead.

We will have a chat on Thursday night this week because Wednesday is opening day of bow season. The topic will be the Great Lakes Fisherman Tournament Trail. If you have any questions about the GLFTT or would like to learn more about it, stop by the chat room. For those that dont know how to get to the chat room. Click on "Fish Chat" in the upper blue navbar. Chat time starts at 8pm.

I am kicking around the idea of starting a pm weekday division for the new tournament trail in Muskegon. These would be evening tournaments from 4 or 5 - 9pm. There would be 5 qualifying events. The top 30% of the teams from this division along with a wildcard team will qualify for the classic. Would anyone be interested in fishing a pm weekday division out of Muskegon?

Nice job Jarod.
