I'm jealous u r so close to Lac Mich. Yep, in St Joe I have key to fish cleaning station at Pier 1000 where my son slips his boat. I'll se d rnail to SoHa harbormaster and city eng to see if cleacning station will open Sat. Meant to ask guy sweeping docks yesterday. Had to double up on hangers at the sign cause they only have 10. I'll take that problem anytime. Happy Easter to all!!!!

Yeah Martin, understand! When I used to go solo a few times a long time ago it was at most 3-4 miles out. Important thing is u got out n relaxed on a super day! Pelican texted me last night so I called him n gave him a report! He may be going today. He didn't want to solo yesterday. Happy Easter. Yeah launch is a mess, but it's open n free. But, fish cleaning is still closed. Reg opening time is 4/15, so maybe it will open Sat. City engineer told me sometime this summer they will replace 2 docks with new ones! St Joe DNR launch, DNR repainted metal on docks and put all new 6x6 frames and decks! Dnr on the ball? Scarry!!!

Bummer; see my report; we got into them good in 150-170'.

Yep it is so nice at launch n in the lake on weekdays. I have a list of retiree mates for during the week and worker bees for weekends ; but try to minimize weekends.

Coralee: Congrats on retirement, you'll love it.I retired 9/3/11. Yeah, when wind started picking up around 1230, that was our last hit at the chalets. Glad u got some on the way back. Got one between the water plant n concrete wall, other 3 between concrete wall n chalets. Working 20-27 fow. After we got out of 43-44 degree water from pier head mudline, temp was pretty consistent 41-42 all the way to chalets. You fish St Joe n SoHa a lot like I do. When my oldest son's family/rental house is not rented we usually spent a few days each week in SoHa. So we could hook up then or other times. My cousin is retired n he lives in SoHa and he goes with me a lot. But, as u know, there are many times when you can't get a crew together. Text me at 517-750-7452 and we can share contact info. Thanks, Dan

Here's silvers.

My baby, 1994 Grady White 208 with cutty, head, n 1999 130HP Honda 4 Stroke? Takes some gas to get her to the launch, but pennies to run on the big lake. My previous was like Eleanor, 1675 Smokecraft with 40 Honda 4 stroke.

Nice, looks a lot bigger than 16', nice rig!

What kind of boat do you have?mine is 21' Grady White with cutty;,The Reel Woman. We launched around 8 n retrieved around 145 or so!

Thanks, have a great, safe, blessed 2017 fishing season. had a great time with my retiree mates on our first trip of the season.
