This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Thats very cool Dan.  I do wear the Glb shirts and people ask and I point them in the sites direction.  I even got a few of my fishin buds to sign up.  I come to this site far more than the other ones.  Mainly because its fishing heavy and not a lot of drama.(Like almost none) And thats what I really like.  Just a great group of like minded sportsmen getting together.  I know what you mean about running a buisness and expenses.  A lot of people think its not hard and don't know about the 26 hour days 8 days a week.  I hope you don't have to go back working for "the man" other than yourself.  Somehow it all works out in the end. :)

Thanks bassfan586! You're great and you catch those non-bass fishies pretty good too! I ALWAYS appreciate the word-of-mouth because that gets us more better members every time!

My wife says that a lot too. It will all work out in the end. (She wants a job as my office manager or something... I just can't afford her yet ;D)

I'm just hoping to fish. The boat remodel is NOT going well.

We can always get you in as a nonboater worse comes to worse. Or better. Maybe you'll draw another big gun!?!

Not much of a stealth measure if it's announced, eh? Actually, anyone can set that on here, but NO one can hide from me... :o

Does help me with certain types of testing when I'm logged on.

BD - no misunderstanding really. Without looking up IP addresses (which I can see, but everyone else can't) one at a time, it is tricky to tell who is a bot and who is an actual 'shy' person. I'm actually blocking more bots now because some of them don't play by the rules and some of them I'm not sure what they're up to. Based on where they are from, trust is not high, so I block them. I can recognize the common bots from Yahoo, Google, Bing and other search engines because they use the same ranges of IP addresses.

Many of them are bots including news sources and probably some content scrapers (take your content and display it on their pseudo-site). But many of them are actual people from all over the world. I'm getting some real 'interesting' persons and contact through the new video service now! Fun.

Dan - did I call you or did you call me?? I don't remember now. Maybe that was the call about the poem? Sorry - forgot to read it to Jerry McKinnis. He seemed busy for some reason.

Victor, I always appreciate to hear those nice things from you and the others. If you run into another angler that you think might like the same thing and tell them about it, you are helping a great deal!

I consider this site my home. It is the finest on the web in my opinion. Dan has done awesome job developing and growing this site. I wish him many blessings for his efforts and hard work. It is our job to help improve this site further by utilizing the tools he has giiven us to use. I may even step out of my shell and do some video this year to post on GLB.
Will any of these titles peek your interest.
"Crankin Clair"
"Finding Fertile Flats"
"Deep Flipping Dropshot"
"Clairolina"

Anything you have to say in a video should be entertaining and worth watching. I do have a question about 'Clairolina' though? Is that something like coloring your hair while you fish?? ;D

Not exactly. But if you want something funny, I did cut my own hair last night.
;D Yes all three of them.
Original song and lyrics by "MadWags"

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

Is that the new cut in the profile pic or did you really get all three cut??  If it is the new cut, that's pretty good.  I'd like to make an appointment.  Can you beat $7 for a hair cut because that's what I am paying right now at Rex Barbershop on Ford Rd. in Dearborn Hts.  I like mine "high and tight".   :o      8)

BTW, in case someone is interested or cared, my 'marketing' change already had a tiny positive impact.

  Just all of them Dave !!!!  Anything St. Clair, I'm interested in seeing.  Too bad I only get there once or twice a year.  :(  
    Dan, this is my favorite fishing website.  Seems everyone on here is a great fisherman and very helpful to others.  I've learned a lot on here in the couple of years I've been a member.  Since smallies are my favorite fish to catch, nothing beats information on Michigan inland and Great Lakes !!!!!!  /i]

I'm very glad to have you on here and thanks for the kind words. I'll try to do my part to keep making you happy!
