Nice going Matt. Larry i heard the Toy Box was on the disabled list. At least nothing went through the block but it sucks being without a boat this time of year.

Well looks like turkey season is all over today. Nice job Steve on your first turkey. I think you can be the turkey champ this year.

Rich

THANKS Rich but I think EdB deserves it more than I do. I got lucky, Ed knows what he is doing and proved it.

Another great day on the water. i think maybe we have been around Larry (Ratcity Hooker) to long with the farming going on but that just leaves more for the next trip. Only thing would have been better is if I didn't have to come home and go to work. It would have been a great day to stay out there all day with no waves and the sun shine and good company, just don't get any better. Well maybe if a couple of the bikinis we saw on the peir would have been in the boat it would have been nicer to look at then you guys but ....... :D

Nice job Rich. Where are the pics? LOL. Looks like the fishing was a little better further north, I went out with Wayne(Midway) and Steve Arend out St Joe and the fish were really scattered.

If I am not mistaken Levi was also on board.

Looks like a Steve Arend original to me.

Looks like I will be there crewing for Wayne(Midway).

If I can catch a ride crewing for someone I will be there.

I hope they lock them up and throw the key away and feed them nothing but carp 3 meals a day.

My guess would be Frankfort and the Harring Hole about 3 miles south of the peirs.

Looks like the HAlf Dozen to me.

"They did super at everything, well except for maybe one net job. They did get the fish but they played "knock it around" for a while first!"

Hay we were just making sure the fish was wore out before bringing it in the boat. Thanks for the ride Rick, any time you need a crew just give me a yell. Thanks to Rich and Larry for putting these events together, allways a good time.

I think it might be Chicken Pox

Tahnks GLF.

Caz if you ask my wife she would tell you the one with the beard

Here is a couple pics

Well I finally managed to bag my bird today. This is my third year tring to bag a tom and everthing finaly came together. Couldn't get out early this morning and almost decided not to go at all. About 11:30 I took a drive out to 7 acres I own and took a stroll to the back of the property, hoping to catch some bird in te hay feild across the fence. Well I got to the back of my property, corner of the woods and small feild and hit the box call a couple times not expecting a reply. Havent had a bird answer sence the season started on Monday, they would gobble on the rost but as soon as fly down they would shut up and not answer.To my suprise a tom gobbled right back at me from about 150 yards south of me. I went about 30 yards into the woods and set up figuring he would be across the fence in the hay feild. Sure enough after about 20 min. of gobbleing and me answering him he finally came into view in the hay feild. I watched him fan and figured with a nice even tail he wasn't a jake and the rush was really on. At 35 yards I put the bead on his head and lights out. He went 20lbs, 8 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs. Not the biggest bird in the woods but I was sure happy.

Congrate on the nice bird Rich. He didn't come from your lease did he? My season starts Monday, hope to find some birds to chase.

. Then we set in for a dry spell, had a rigger go twice with no one home and a full core get hit but could not stick him. .

Steve

No one home or did you let farmer Larry grab the rod? :D Fished St Joe with Wayne 9Midway) and his buddy Harv from work along with Justin(I think that was his name) who was also fishing the tourney. We only boated 1 fish, a 2.2 lb brown not long after setting lines and never had another bump. We didnot head to deeper water, stayed inside of 55 ft. We threw everthing but the sink and couldn't get anything to go. The one we got came off the rigger with a green meany, thats what Wayne called it, don't know the depth or how far back so Wayne will have to fill in the details.

Springport, Michigan. About the center of the state about 30 miles south and a little west of Lansing. West coast or east coast, it's still about a 2 hour drive.

We have 2 Bassett Hounds, Molly anf Luther. We named Molly because that's the name I picked. Luther was already named when we got him. Also the wife ahs 2 cats Emiley and Camey, don't ask me why they have their names.

Welcome aboard Ed. Always enjoyed your reports on one of the other sites, keep them up. this is a great place t be.
