Good job Terry on a real nice tom. Hope the aholes in the car got a visit from the DNR.

Got my first choice too, but then again I didn't have to apply. I take the 234 hunt because it gives me more time to play in the woods.

Nice buck Ed. I know right where the cop is, see lots of nice bucks in the area driving down the roads.

Congrats to the guys lucky enough to score, it has been a weird season around here. Hunted private land north east of Hastings for the opener and saw 10 but they would not come near the woods. In the after noon took my son out on my property close to Springport and he had a chance at a nice 6 point but blew it. Saw one doe Sunday morning and that has been it.

GOOD JOB Jay

Good job Ed.

It's a crock of BS. Another way for thhe goverment to stick it to ya. The last time I bought an altenator at Auto Zone I took the old one with me and they still charged me a core charge, taxed it then gave me the credit for the core but not the tax. I argued with them about the core charge because I brought the core with me, they said according to the law it was legal for them to do it that way. You can't win.

Good luck EdB, hope your youth hunter bags a trophy. Can't wait till my daughter is old enough to take out.

Excuse my ignorance. What state are hunting in? Is it shotgun or muzzleloader. Whatever your using, it must be nice to have a season that early.

It was the first Early Antlerless season in Michigan. The DNR is tring to figure out a way to lower deer numbers in the Soutern Lower. It was a weapon of choice but if you used archery you had to wear hunter orange.

Good Job EdB

I understand you had a rookie crew for Friday's trip. Good job on getting them some fish.

Good Job Mike(sea-mac) and crew

That's what I am thinking. My boat is 24ft. And I hear the water is pretty slim right now up around Insta-Launch.

We have camped at Insta Launch the last few years over Labor Day and it is allways the same, REAL SKINNY water where the river goes into the lake. Manistee Lake is no trouble, it's just getting to it. Do your self a favor and either slip your boat in the channel closer to the big lake or trailer it to the City Launch.

am i the only one who has a bad feeling about this league?

fishsniffer

Not sure why you would have any bad feelings about the league. The league has been around for a few years now and it has always been a blast. Jim stepped up to make sure everyone still had a chance to fish it in Rich's absents. Give Jim a chance, like he said there is a captian's meeting at the weigh in to iron things out.

JWheeler I agree, total BS. I made the trip to Holland yesterday and put enough gas in the truck to get figurring the price would be cheaper over there. Sure enough I pulled into the gas station in Byron Center to meet up with Mike(seamac) and gas was 3.76. We were still on the water when I heard someone on the radio say they just jumped gas .20 a gallon. Sure enough we get back to Byron center and the same station is at 3.98 a gallon. What a crock of bull.

Nice job Mike and crew.

Good Job Nick. We went 7 for 11 last night fishing with SeaMac out of Holland. It was a nice night on the water except for the flies, pessky little @$^%^.

Had a great time Mike, anytime. We ended up with 31 perch. Farmer Jay nice seeing ya again , the only rhing you are lacking is a straw hat.

. Oh well, at least I didn't have to see Steve in the chaps contest. Thanks again everybody!

Pay backs are he$$. Just think Nick, you missed that new set of riggers at the drawing by 1 number. I bought my tickets right after you the night before.

That don't suprize me at all. I have a 1979 Islander with the OMC outdrive and ever time I went there for parts it was a ripoff. There are a few sites on line that are much cheaper and depending on the part, you can get it on E-Bay pretty cheap. I needed a water pump shaft and it list for about 90 bucks, got it off E-Bay for 10.00 and it was brand new. Got the shaft that splines into into it for a little over a 100 and the marina said if they could get it it would be closer to 200.

Just got my manifold mounting kit and paid $15.00 included six studs,nuts,washers and a manifold gasket:)the local marina here wanted $11.00 a PIECE FOR EACH STUD!!!!!!! buyer beware:angry2:I GUESS IT PAYS TO SHOP ON LINE! P.S TOOK 2 DAYS BY UPS GROUND AND THE MARINA SAID MAYBE A WEEK AND A HALF??

Witch marina was it?

Nice job fellas.

Congatulations Rich. Grand kids are great, you can spoil them all you want and then send them home. and let mom and dad deal with them.

Nice job fellas.

Thanks for the heads up EdB. That is just plain BS and something needs to be done to put a stop to all the friggin nets. The least they could do is limit the number of nets and where they can be placed and make sure they are marked by lagit marker bouyies and not just a milk jug or nothing at all.

Good Job Ed.
