  1. Accident can and will happen. The biggest problem is lack of education. Anyone can buy a boat and hit the water. I have seen small unlit boats several times after dark. I had one instance off Manistee where a small boat had a clamp on light installed backwards. The starboard side had the red light towards it. Try and navigate around that in the dark. It should be mandatory for all boat owners to take a safety class, or at the very least pass some sort of competency test. These unknowing individuals don't have a clue. When addressing some of these issues with them, they have no idea what you are talking about. Buy a boat, hit the water, and heaven help all of us. Most of these uneducated boaters are the same goof balls at the launches. JMHO
  2. Rich, Gotta Love It when the kids are onboard. GJ as usual on Lake O.
  3. Kyle, GJ sliming the boat. Keep hammering them.
  4. Karl, A warm welcome to the GLF site. You will fit right in here. Just holler if we can help in any way.
  5. A Grand Slam brought to you by the Dirty Dog. GJ Mike and Terry aboard the Sea Mac.
  6. Keep on hammering them Mark.
  7. Welcome aboard Heidi. It's good to have another E. sider here. I fish the Bay a little.
  8. Da Anvil put the hammer down. GJ Nick.
  9. Lee, Welcome aboard.
  10. The South wall at Manistee seems to get hit quite regularly. I think what is happening the boaters are heading at the N. Light. I have a waypoint about 1/2 mile out from the S. Light. The South pier sticks out a quite a bit farther than the N. one. This is at least the 4th accident in recent history. TG no one was seriously hurt this time.
  11. Fish and oil don't mix. The two issues are different but both are serious threats. Sewage overflows are another threat. The beat goes on as far as the political BS over these important issues.
  12. Heidi, A warm welcome to the GLF site.
  13. Jake, GJ and thanks for the report.
  14. Amen to that. Do Not Do Any Of The Above.
  15. Sorry about your troubles Shu. Just be thankful the troubles were with the boat and not YOU. I'm glad you have good insurance and have found a new ride.
  16. Sorry about the mechanical problems. GL finding the big uns
  17. RJ, A warm welcome to the GLF site from Tawas MI. You will like it here. Just holler if you need any help.
  18. The shelf @ Manistee is the drop off area that goes from 70 FOW to 100+ FOW very fast. This shelf runs N and S through the whole area. Heading West out of port is the quickest way to hit the shelf.
  19. Paul, You got top billing on my post. Thanks for the green beans and cukes today. If the fish aren't hitting Paul can talk or beg em to hit. "I've seen him do it.":) Paul and Mel made a two hr one way drive to fish the bay. Ya know I never fish alone. We only took 12 today but the quality time on the water is more important than the fish.
