Whoops.....yes EST. I edited the original post and the poll to show EST.

Its time to get our chat room rocking again. We are looking to have a weekly chat on ?????? Thats the question we are trying to figure out, so we are putting up a poll to decide what night to have the weekly chat. We are looking at 7 or 8 pm EST on the chat night. This will be a two part poll, so you will be able to do multiple votes. Please vote for which day, and what time you would like. This is an open poll, so everyone will be able to see how you voted.

Great job Chris. Hope you get another.

Welcome aboard Allen. Thanks for taking a minute and doing an introduction. We look forward to seeing you around.

Welcome aboard Brian. Thanks for taking a minute and doing an introduction. If you need anything, let out a yell.

Welcome aboard Dave. No need to thank me. The addition of you and the blog will be a BIG asset to this website. We look forward to reading your blog and having you as a member of the website/team. That was the first time I have ever been to WingsETC. That was a fantastic burger they served! I liked it so much, I took my family there on Thursday.

Ryan, Thanks for taking a minute and finally doing an introduction(6 years late. ). LOL Once you have been bitten by the salmon bug, you can not get rid of the disease. There is a great group of guys/girls here, and this is one of the friendliest websites on the net. We look forward to having you around more. If you need anything, let out a shout! Mike

They race those at the DeltaPlex during the winter also. I saw a couple of them crash while at the DeltaPlex. I will keep my boys in a quarter midget with a full roll cage.

Actually.....after the end of the points racing season, we are talking about having an "adults" race with the cars. If you can fit in it, you can drive it. I have not tried yet, but I am hoping I can fit in one of our cars.

Time for us to move up/upgrade! We are selling Hunter's 35" Nervo Extreme 02, replacing it with a Nervo Grizzly and moving him up to the Lt. 160 class. More speed!!!!!!

This contest ends at midnight on 31 Aug 2012. There have been a few entries submitted that you can not read the digital display. These entries will not be allowed. The digital display has to be clearly displayed like the sample picture in the entry thread.

Dave Mull has joined our website and has agreed to help out. Dave will be a HUGE asset to the website. If you have ever read a salmon fishing article, there is a REALLY good chance it was written by Dave. Dave also does the sporting shows during the off season and puts on a fantastic salmon clinic! Please welcome Dave to our team at Great Lakes Fisherman.

Congratulations to fishsniffer and his crew.

Nice job Dave. Welcome to the website.

Nice box of fish Ed!

Muskegon can be a zoo.

Welcome aboard Dave! Dont be afraid to ask a question that may have been asked before. We frown on the "do a search" replies. I personally love seeing the repeat questions brought up because there is always a different answer, and something new to learn from someone who may not have replied or seen the original post. Nobody knows it all, and even the veterans learn a thing or two. If you need anything, let out a shout and someone will answer!

Welcome aboard Karl. Thanks for taking a minute and doing an introduction. Lots of good information here to get you back up to speed.

You should have received a follow up email from Rob. Their email account was hacked and someone sent out that email.

I moved Dave70038 entry to the Lake Ontario Entry thread.

Please welcome JWheeler(Jason) to his new position on the website. Jason has years of walleye fishing expierence and will be helping out with the walleye sections. He also has alot of salmon fishing expierence, and will be an asset to the website.

Welcome aboard Don. Thanks for taking a minute and doing an introduction! Good luck on the silver.

Nice smack down Richard! Hopefully you are not day dreaming too much at the desk this week.

You probably had a swivel failure. Most of us are in the same boat. What I found that helps best is quality swivels on both ends of your leader, and on the end of the wire. At one time I found some bead swivels that had 4-6 beads before the swivel. These are what I have on the end of my wire rods. Unfortunately, I dont remember where I found them.

Glad to hear Dave, Jack, John, and Matt survived this mishap and are OK. This is should be a wake up call to everyone. It doesn't matter who you are, you can end up in this situation. How many of us actually know how to use a flair? How many of us do a safety check with the crew before we leave the dock. I am guilty of not doing it myself. Heck.....95% of the people who went out with me did not even know where the flares were on my boat. I am not sure how many of them actually knew how to use the radio! Does your crew know what to do incase of an emergency? Every airline does a preflight walk through incase of emergency.....are we any different? I have been in a similar situataion and we were taking waves over the back of the boat. How did it start? We took a wave over the back, and it swamped the outboard. Once the outboard was swamped, we were without motor. The lower unit is the lowest point in the water and acts like a drift sock. The bow swung around in the wind and the transom was left facing the waves. We continued taking waves over the back of the boat, and were almost to the point of no return when another boat hooked up to us and started towing us. A drift sock/sea anchor attached to the bow would have prevent the bow from swinging around and the transom facing the waves. A drift sock/sea anchor is a must for a safety device on any boat. Be careful out there. The Great Lakes are not a playground!
