Priority1

(SOLD) Thank You.

GJ Adam, I like your new setup. Please be careful.

Best bet is to heed the warnings and stay off the ice for awhile. Bomber, Thanks for the first hand report on conditions out there.

The Saginaw Bay claimed another victim near Caseville today. This brings the total to two this weekend. Prayers for his family. http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?section=news/local&id=7223180

Matt, Way to nail em.

WTG Jimmy. Nothing better.

I have only run the Luhr Jensen Dodgers.

Kjell, I'm sending you an Email.

The dodger squid and dodger fly will do a number on them. Dodgers need to be run slower than flashers, typically 2 MPH or slower. Flashers have been gaining in popularity because they run well slow or fast. I still have some dodgers. I have found some on sale also.

GJ Ed on the Winter Steel.

Be careful out there. It seems this happens at least once each year. Prayers for his family. http://www.connectmidmichigan.com/news/story.aspx?id=402630 UPDATE http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?section=news/local&id=7221225 It will be 2 years this March since I lost a friend through the ice near Bay City. Two went in but only one made it. I fish with Jim H the survivor, but not on hard water.

The elaborate shop was probably needed for the bike racing. There is a lot of satisfaction, building your own equipment.

Robert, Good Job on the steel.

Don, It's a thing of beauty. Ya know what I always say, "Ya can never have too many rod holders". You will love it, especially the tree portion, for running boards.

I super glowed some Yellow Tails. I like them a lot. When the action heats up, I run a lot of Glow Js in low light conditions. Play it just right and you'll be on shore eating breakfast before 8:00 AM.

I never listed these on eBay. Anyone need these????? $300 for both sets. What you see times two. These are NEW.

Mike, Save your money. In no time at all the cabin boys will be running the back of the boat. You'll have gray whiskers and will make a decent helmsman.

Paul, A warm welcome to you. You will fit right in here. Just holler if you need any help. We are looking forward to your fishing reports.

Rich, She's SWEET.

Tom, Thanks for the report. Those dinks will be in our freezers in a year or 2. Gotta luv this fishery.

Most of these rules are universal, especially #12. Thanks for the post.

You must be stoking a wood stove heavily, to only have a $68 heat bill. There is a lot of open water by me. I need to get my inside chores caught up, and start casting some cleos.

Google Borax Spawn. Most of the cures involve borax.

Scotty not only catches a ton of fish, he looks good doing it. We have to fish together one of these days. Sweet Rides.
