Count me in as a non-boater.

Are we going to use the same Golden Rule catch and release measuring boards that the ABA uses? If so I have 2 that I can bring.

You might be able to ride over with me depending on schedules.

We'll see at things get closer.

Was Shaw on Grand Traverse Bay?

[djkimmel]

The Golden Rule would be the best tool to use for a spring catch-and-release event. Anyone with extras would probably help since not everyone may have them.

Bring your digital cameras to take a few pictures of fish during the day for the web site report later since there will be no weigh in at the ramp.

That time of year, we can go out of Harley Ensign or Selfridge. The cutoff ramp too probably, but I think since we'll have anglers going north and south - we'll split the difference and go out of Harley Ensign in the middle - the end of South River Rd at the Clinton River mouth.

More details after the Novi Show.

Didn't say if he was in the bay or not. He just kept saying lake michigan. They were in a bay, but it looked pretty small to be traverse bay. He was nailin 4-5# smallies on a spinnerbait and a little finess worm.

We usually go over a map at the ramp for spots and places to beware.
