EdB Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 When we got up and looked at the radar yesterday, there was a storm coming across the south end of the lake. We thought about trailing north to avoid it but stayed at St Joe since we were part of a BBQ and fishing event. We take the Q cooks out fishing and then they cook some awesome food over the 2 days. Most of the boats stayed in but we thought we go and see how it was. Raging east wind and the storm cell over the lake had us setting up in 40 feet of water instead of 127ft like yesterday. We made one out troll to 85 ft, went 2 for 3 and one guy started getting sick and the waves were really building as we got farther out so we pulled lines and went in. Quite the downpour as we pulled lines. Not many fish inside so I would start farther out if you are going this week. You can rule out some water from this report. Wish I was there today as weather looks better. When we got done, the smokers got fired up and the feast began. Okie Tim came all the way from Oklahoma to fish with us and cook some great Q.

EdB Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wings getting started for the wing contest. I should have taken a picture of Dan's Lang smoker before he pulled off the briskets and pork butts he had it loaded with. Here he is finishing some fattys and pork tenderloins.

EdB Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Treblemaker from here won the wing contest. The wings everyone cooked were great and it was hard to pick a favorite. Lot's of different smoked foods all afternoon. It was a great 2 days on Lk Mich and the banks of the St Joe river. I don't need to eat anything today, I'm still stuffed.
