Hey all, Just want to say thank you all who has replied to this. I am still not feeling good at all and hate coming home. I hate coming home because she allways met me at he door and now I know that she is not going to be there anymore. The last day I had with her I did everything that I could with her. I got home from work and started making her the best breakfast she ever had. I took out a package of my venison steaks and fixed them with two eggs and one piece of toast. Well she never thought that all that I made was for her only. She just sat down and was watching me all the time. I put everthing on a dish and cut it all up. Then I went to her dish and picked it up and threw all her dog food away. It was kinda funny because her ears stood right up and probly was thinking what the heck is he doing with my food. Well then I took all the steaks and eggs and put it in her dish. Man she was going nuts and was going around in a circle. I bent down to give her all the food and kneeled down and pet her while she ate it all. She sure loved that breakfast. Then we went to sleep for the rest of the morning. It was five o clock when I was suppose to take her to the vet. I just couldn't sleep, so I took her out in the woods and just walked around. Well it was about that time to go and man I was not feeling good at all. I had friends come over to help me out and told me that they would take her to the vet. Well I sat down and told them all that she stood by my side everytime when I had a bad day and good ones. I told them all that I should be the one to take her and be by her side when she gos. I went to the vet and the vet is really a nice person. She took Maggie and my wife and I in a small room to be alone. I sat in a chair and put out a blanket for her. The vet came in and told me how it was going to go like. She gave her one shot and then Maggie just was walking around. I sat on the floor and called her to sit with me and she did. I was talking to her the whole time, then suddenly she started getting sleepy. I let her lay down and put her head on my lap petting her head and still talking to her. She really was getting tierd and then I took her collar off. She then notice I took her collar off and she raised her head really slow looking at me thinking I was taking her out duck hunting. I allways took her collar off going duck hunting so she wouldnt get caught up in the weeds. I just knew what she was thinking and told her we was not going duck hunting today. She then slowly lowered her head and went to sleep. I kept on petting her thinking how much I hate doing what I am doing here now. The vet came back in and told me that this second shot will put her away for good. She gave her the shot and Maggie took three deep breaths and she was gone. I went nuts and was sick. The vet told me to stay as long as I wanted. I stayed there for two hours and just kept on petting her wondering what she could be doing now. The vet came back in and was helping me out really nice. I finally got up and started walking to the door and turned around to see her the last time. It was so hard because that was the first time she never got up to go where I was going. I sure hope that this gos away really soon. I cannot sleep and its hard to go to work. Going home is the worse...... Hope the weather gets better so I can get out and fish to get this off my mind. See you all soon, Rich

Well I must say this is going to be the most worse day ever for me. Tonight I have to take my best hunting buddy down to the vet and put her to sleep. Her name is Maggie and she is my Short Hair hunting dog. Lets see about 13 years ago my wife found a dog at the dog pound and she told me it was a hunting dog. So I went down there and checked her out and really liked her so I got her. I took her to obediance class and trained her to the best that I could. She loved to go duck hunting, phesant hunting, and even rabbit hunting. This dog has been allways by my side everyday and just love to go for rides in my truck. I am going to miss her alot and its going to be really hard for me for awhile. Last night I took her for a walk in the woods for the last time and she loved it. But just allways kept on tripping and just couldnt get back up. So I ended on carrying her all the way home. Well hopfully this stupid pain will not last me forever so I can get out and start fishing. Well I hope you all have a chance to get out and try some fishing this weekend. The weather really sucks this year. Caznik

Looks blue and white to me, Nice boat, I allways loved the islanders. rich

Hello Hardwork, Someday I really want to get out and get some walleyes out there. I have never fished Erie yet and someday I will. Just love to eat them walleyes. Cazz

Wow, This year I have spent allready alot of my fishing money on four new big jon electric downriggers and four new rod holders. I have allways wanted to get electric downriggers but just never had enough money to get them. But the great deal I got from John from big jon I just couldn't let go. John Williams is a great guy and I must say big jon has the best service I ever seen. I got two downriggers at the sport show because that was all I could afford. But after putting on the two I allready missed the other two that I use to have, so I have four on my boat now. I called up John and said I need two more and I had them shipped to me at the next day, thats pretty fast service if you ask me. Well just like to say THANKS JOHN for everything and cannot wait to use them. Rich Man was my wife mad when she seen them

Thanks guys, I went back out and hit my pump a few times and now it works good. Probly was just frozen like you all said, BUT if I have to hit again when it gets warmer I will replace it no matter or what. Thanks again, Rich

Hi Member's, I have been trying to get my boat ready and when I was checking everything out. I turned on my bielde pump and it just blows my fuse. I checked out my wires and they look ok. I was wondering if just maybe my pump is frozen and that is why its blowing my fuse all the time. I need a second opinion. Thanks, Rich

Rick, I was very surprise by the water levels and the clear water. Good luck if you go, Rich

I took off the face mask for a picture. Man I like my hair like that..

April 6th, 2007 Hey Member's, Today My fishing buddy and I went over to Allegan to fish the river for some big 30lb. Steelheads. The river conditions was very good with clear and perfect water level conditions. We started from the bridge and went down stream for a long ways before turning the boat around to troll back up stream to the truck. We fished for an half an hour and had our first fish on. Then later on about one hour later we took our second fish. Today we ended up being 2-4 with our steelheades being all around 8lbs. each. We caught each fish on small hot n tots and the colors were yellow and gold. I the CAZZZZZZ took the first fish and lossing two others right away. My buddy took the second fish and it was his very first steelhead from a river. Here ya all go, its the CAZZZZ with a new style hair due. Here is my buddy Rich from work. Man he looks cold...

Well about 10 years ago I took my wife and kids out fishing for rainbows fishing at Gull Lake. I had six rods set up and all of a sudden my wife says that she has one on. She reeled it in and it was our biggest Lake Trout ever caught. The Lake Trout was 21 lbs. and the Kalamozoo Gazett paper wrote up a big article about that fish and our family fishing trip. If I can find that picture I will post it. Cazzzz

Sold, Thanks Steve

Wow, Very nice report guys. Cazzzzzzzzz

Ok Steve, But I just found another one in my box and it is a no. 4 wonder bread. So the price will be $21.00 pluss shipping. But I know that you may come over again or I can just meet you at the first event. So do you want them for sure for $21.00 when I see you. If you do I will say it will be sold. Let me know, Rich

Ok, You got me...APRIL FOOL's......

Hi Member's, Well I have been looking at some of my fishing stuff and see that I have a few lure's that I don't really use anymore. These J-Plugs are brand new and still in the box and I just do not like to use size four's or five's. What I like to do is make a trade for some new size three J-Plugs if you have any, or maybe make another kind of trade. Now if we trade we will just ship it our selfs and will not worrie about paying each other for shipping. Or I will sell then for $18.00 and whatever shipping will be. The chrome and red head is a size five and the rest are four's. Well let me know, Rich

Hey Member's, I took out my 14' row boat out Saturday and went out fishing with a few friends at Port Sheldon. The weather was great and the waves was very calm. We ended up 9 for 12 with all kings. We took all the kings on lead core fishing in 50' of water. Fishing with all stingers lures and a few dreamweaver spoons. My little 8 hrs worked very well and will try it again next weekend if waves are good. I must say one of the kings we caught was 42 lbs. and kept on pulling the boat out in deeper water. By time we got that fish in we was in 200'. I never had a fight like that in my whole life out there. Well good luck to all, Cazzzzzzzzzz

Thanks for the report Larry, I will be out probly in May so save some fish for me.....................Cazzzzzzz

Good luck Mike and have fun....

Ok fishermen, I know a few of you guys must of had gone out fishing. My boat is still down and will be for three or four more weeks. Is there any good reports? Cazzzzzz
