Priority1 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I received some bad news this morning. The fishermen that went through the ice near the mouth of the Saginaw River, were St. Charles residents that I have known for years. One was rescued and the other was pronounced dead shortly after being brought up. I have fished in some of the same tourneys and consider both to be good friends. The Fisherman that died was at my brothers funeral, Jan, 07 and I was at his brother funeral shortly after that. I remember saying to him, "We have to stop meeting like this". R.I.P Frank D. I'll miss you. I would bump into Frank D. and his fishing pal Jim H. on the Saginaw Bay, or in Manistee. Frank always stayed at the Insta Launch Camp Ground in Manistee. Maybe some of you here knew him. He was a fantastic family man, fisherman, friend, and mechanic. He could fix anything, and would help anyone. Frank D. also ran an older Starcraft Islander. Here is a link to the news story. http://www.weyi.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=108554 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWheeler Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 P1, it is too bad about your friend. Never easy to hear about another's loss. I would hope that this is a wake up call for people on the bay to use extreme caution. As warmer weather approaches the conditions will worsen, and hopefully this kind of situation can be avoided. Sorry about your loss of a friend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
