Title: Memorial Park on St. Clair
Post by: djkimmel on May 11, 2010, 10:43:46 PM
Is the canopy up on the frame at Memorial Park yet on St. Clair, or is it still just the frame? Trying to create a list of landmarks for some of the newer anglers for this Saturday's DK Open. Thanks.

I think it was still a frame this morning when I drove by to take the kids to school.  I'll take a look in the am to be sure.

 The frame was covered as of Monday. Went with UAW, not many caught there we moved down between blue wall and nine mile tower. Tuff bite that day. Fish that were caught came large. UAW landed some nice pigs. I had one over 4lbs.

I think so, but I'd have to look at a map to be sure. I just know it is north of 12 Mile Rd a ways. South of the 400 Club Apartments. I'll look at the chart tonight and post some information about important landmarks on the DK Open board.

Wayne Carpenter talks about this landmark in his basstothefuture.com blog. He has pictures and it shows the covering going up.
Its up now.

Yep, Memorial Park is at the end of Masonic.  Glad it's covered, it makes it easier to spot from a distance.

I sometimes stop there just to pour a new cup of coffee before I move on to a good spot.

I was out on the mile roads, Wednesday. It was like chocolate milk! Could'nt see the bottom in 3ft of water. My lure disappeared about 6" deep. It was a little clearer south, around 9 mile. Caught a few down there on tubes. Hopefully it's a little clearer on Saturday.
