Yeah Martin, understand! When I used to go solo a few times a long time ago it was at most 3-4 miles out. Important thing is u got out n relaxed on a super day! Pelican texted me last night so I called him n gave him a report! He may be going today. He didn't want to solo yesterday. Happy Easter. Yeah launch is a mess, but it's open n free. But, fish cleaning is still closed. Reg opening time is 4/15, so maybe it will open Sat. City engineer told me sometime this summer they will replace 2 docks with new ones! St Joe DNR launch, DNR repainted metal on docks and put all new 6x6 frames and decks! Dnr on the ball? Scarry!!!

Bummer; see my report; we got into them good in 150-170'.

Yep it is so nice at launch n in the lake on weekdays. I have a list of retiree mates for during the week and worker bees for weekends ; but try to minimize weekends.

Coralee: Congrats on retirement, you'll love it.I retired 9/3/11. Yeah, when wind started picking up around 1230, that was our last hit at the chalets. Glad u got some on the way back. Got one between the water plant n concrete wall, other 3 between concrete wall n chalets. Working 20-27 fow. After we got out of 43-44 degree water from pier head mudline, temp was pretty consistent 41-42 all the way to chalets. You fish St Joe n SoHa a lot like I do. When my oldest son's family/rental house is not rented we usually spent a few days each week in SoHa. So we could hook up then or other times. My cousin is retired n he lives in SoHa and he goes with me a lot. But, as u know, there are many times when you can't get a crew together. Text me at 517-750-7452 and we can share contact info. Thanks, Dan

Here's silvers.

My baby, 1994 Grady White 208 with cutty, head, n 1999 130HP Honda 4 Stroke? Takes some gas to get her to the launch, but pennies to run on the big lake. My previous was like Eleanor, 1675 Smokecraft with 40 Honda 4 stroke.

Nice, looks a lot bigger than 16', nice rig!

What kind of boat do you have?mine is 21' Grady White with cutty;,The Reel Woman. We launched around 8 n retrieved around 145 or so!

Thanks, have a great, safe, blessed 2017 fishing season. had a great time with my retiree mates on our first trip of the season.
