here is the pics for the brown and this crazy front that came through on saterday night

I just bought a 2002 Nissan from AAA auto sales on Divison in kentwood Mi. Test drove it everything looked good. Then about 2 hour after i bought the car the check engin light came on, The heads turned out to be back, Bad nock sence, Bad fuel sensor A/C didnt work. Shawn (service manager ) told me they would fix it because these were broken before i bought the truck. this all started before memorial day. I called him on 06/30/10 and he finally tells me the part is in. Tell me to drop the car off 07/05/10 and it would be ready on 07/08/10. I called him on tuesday night to make sure everything was ok and to let him know i needed it fixed by the 8th because i had to leave town on business. my wife calls on wednsday to make sure everything is good. I show up on the 8th Car is not there shawn is not there, Car hasnt been worked on at all. I was told by the customer service that shawn had lied they were never going to fix the car and that it was just to make me happy. DO not buy from them. I will be taken them to small claims court as after the month of being giving the round about started recording the cars i made to him. I wanted to buy a car from a mom and pop place boost the ecomany and look whats happens. If you want a good car go to a repupital dealer Not AAA auto sales and Divsion. Here is a bit more about the whole thing as well SO i tell them today i want my car, They tell me they dont have it they wont give me the keyts or anything so i tell them i will call the police and file a stolen police report. they then Give me Directios to some guys pole bars where the car has been sitting for 3 days windown open seats and car full of water from todays rain. I was so fired up!!!! i plan on meeting with Shawn in the morning to Discuss what needs to be done or I will be filing for small claims court. This kind thing just rubs me the wrong way. sorry guys just neede to vent a little

Me and a buddy Evan went trout fishing last weekend ( i know sorry for the late report) we fished a very small stream and when we showed up i was very much in doubt! We Fished upstream and threw nothing but Black body with gold blade panther martins using 4lb test on 7" UL. We managed alot fo nice fish however did not take pics of all of them. Most were over 10 we caught 1 21 incher and 1 19 incher. Here are the pics

Jim, I am down for option B

what broadhead did u shoot him with... GREAT BIRD!

Myself, Jim (1mainiac), Just Hookin (Mark Boat Capt) and RoughDiamond (Scott) fished St. Joe on Friday from noon-5pm. Big scum line infront of the channel. Fished North from 25-55 FOW, waves were 3-5, turned south with the waves fished from the channel to A-frames from 45-15 FOW. One small Coho on J-9 jointed orange rapala that we towed for along time before realizing it was there, one for one for friday with that small coho. Waves settled down to 1-3s by 5pm and became very fishable. We were able to try out the new Z-Board Big Daddy boards and it performed with amazing results. It kicked out far and remained on track even in the rough waters, well out performing our church boards. We used these on our highlines in order to get them the furthest away from the boat. Hit the water on Saturday at 530am, trolled straight out of the pier heads, we were the only boat in sight until 6am. Fished North in the 45-52 FOW, marked tons of bait, big fish marks on the graph but no takers. Turned South, picked up one small coho on a high line in 42 FOW on napalm. Trolled South to about 1 mile above junk cars, the current was strong so we decided to pull lines and run south to the Cook power plant and troll North with the current and wind. Picked up small Coho and a 7lb King on an orange dodger with black fly on a 3-color in 24 FOW with 2.4 on the ball. We picked those 2 up back-to-back just north of the a-frames. Took another small king in 22 FOW on a double orange crush on a 2-color about 1/2 mile south of junk cars. Pulled lines at 1230 to head in and there was a VERY thick scum line just outside the channel flowing out from the St. Joe. Lots of boats fishing scumline. Talked with a few guys who picked up a 7lb brown who had been working in and out of the scum line. Not sure the exact amount of points, due to most of the crew heading back to the boat for the Coast Guard Aux to do an inspection, but they never showed. As far as we know, we were top 15 and picked up a $25 gift card to fishdog.net. Congrats to fishsniffer and sixshooter on big fish and a good first place win.
