Ethanol from corn is a joke, but it did give the farmers a better price for their crop. From the field to the gas tank it takes 1 gallon of fuel to produce 1.25 gallons of ethanol. Then there is the fact that ethanol just doesn't have the same energy as an equal amount of gasoline. Ethanol just doesn't make sense. Coal gasification probably makes more sense. Burn coal, and drink the corn.

Nick, Bring your bride to the tourney. Just explain to her it's part of the honeymoon. Once you tie the knot, you have to get good at explaining these things. Congrats on your engagement, and the upcoming wedding.

Let's have a mid week tourney. I'm not used to fishing weekends.

Thanks for the report Dan. My next trip out I may venture a little S. Yes they are biting light. This time of year they most always do.

Count me in.

WTG. Sounds like a fantastic day on the big water.

Fantastic Ray.

GJ Capt. Dick. Manistee remains my favorite W. side port. I'm waiting for a cool down to start some E. side perch jerking.

WTG Jim. Were you at Fish Point on the Saginaw Bay? It looks like you had a fantastic weekend.

WTG Rich. Love it when the kids get involved. These warm temps have changed the fish patterns this yr.

Fantastic. It's soooooo cool when the kids get involved.

WTG Captain Ed. Nice pics:)

Spoons stayed on the back burner for me this year. Glow squids, meat, and J plugs were my go to stuff. The super glow spoons have always been my first choice when running spoons. The brand name never seemed to mater. The white background on most of the super glow spoons is what gives off the most rays. Just make it shine and they will dine. I took most of my older white backed spoons and super glowed them.

Two of us ventured out yesterday. We spent most of our time trying to locate some active perch. We marked perch in all the usual spots but they were NOT very receptive. I decided to make one last stop on the way in and EUREKA. So if you want to try your luck on the bay; it's perch rigs, and DEEP water. Like the last few years these perch are gorging themselves on the water fleas. I did try some shrimp without any luck. The water fleas are of of the shrimp family. The last stop we took a dozen perch in about a half hr and it was past time to leave. It was a fantastic day to be out on the bay. I may try going out this afternoon if I can find a partner. I need a meal of those yellow bellies. I let Jack take the few we took yesterday. Hopefully we can zero in on them today.
