Thanks for the kind words Eric.  I enjoyed and appreciated having you fish the MI disision of FOM this year, and I cannot wait until May.  By the way, you were right about Saginaw Bay, that is one awsome fishery.  Last spring was my first time on the Bay, and I had a great time, and cannot wait to get back.  Good luck this year in everything you fish, and have a great Christmas.

Sincerely,

John Carter

married life is good, still getting to fish and hunt a lot... probably because the answer to your 2nd question is no to the kids :)  house has been for sale for about a year now... trying to buy up for some more room before we fill the place with baby junk  ;D

As for duck hunting, my season sucked so bad this year, be thankful you never got the call! but a duck hunt isn't out of the question yet... we get 2 days in Jan (5th/6th) for ducks and can hunt geese all of january... if i find some birds that would make it worth the drive for ya, i will give you a holler for sure.

good to hear from ya!

You just say the word, and I will be on my way over there.  Have you ever hunted over on this side of the state, it seems like we have a ton of birds down here on the lower Detroit river (in and around the marsh areas), but then again I have never tried to shoot them.  I see a ton of turkey, when I am not trying to shoot them!!! Go figure.....

sounds good. i've been to bay a few times, but still haven't made it to st. clair for ducks. Its a different kind of hunting i'm not really set up for. i'll give you a shout for sure if anything pops up... otherwise its just ice fishing until april :)
