Heading north for smallies on Monday... back seat is open!! Anyone Interested?

[Waterfoul]

I'm going up to Manistee Lake on Monday morning.  Leaving my house in Grand Rapids at 5:30 a.m. and returning when my arms are tired from catching fish.  At this point the back seat is open.  Share the gas up and back is all I ask.  Must be interested in catching smallies, and lots of 'em.

Interested persons should submit an application to... just kidding!  LOL!!   

Shoot me a message or reply here in you're interested.  We've been doing very well up there this fall and you will have fun.  I can give you suggestions on what to bring.

Let me get back to work Friday, and I will let you know.

[Waterfoul]

OK Mike.  Let me know asap.

[Mike S.]

I'm in!!  Just called work. They think it is funny that I called for more vacation when I'm on vacation.

[Waterfoul]

OK your in!  Well then... your boat or mine?  And yes, I want to get there at dawn!

[Mike S.]

Depends on what you feel like driving to Muskegon. Dawn is good with me. I'm up at 4 no matter what day it is. I don't care which boat we fish from. Mine is closer, but it is up to you. If we take my truck, it will probably cost about $50 to fill it from where it is now. It takes $40 to tow the boat to Pere Marquette and back, and about $100 to go to Skeg and back. Let me know.

[Waterfoul]

Well let's take yours then.  My trolling motor batteries are starting to get week, so if it's a bit windy it may cause an early end to the day.  New ones in the spring.  Saves us both a little money too.  I'll be at your house at 6:00 a.m.

[Mike S.]

Ok. That works. I will make sure my junk is ready. Now, lets try this again. I get the big fish, not you. And, most importantly, you don't pass out. Or, maybe I should tell you to catch the big fish and pass out.

[Waterfoul]

Again, no promises on either account.

Wind forcast:  6 mph
Temperature:  high of 43.

Dress warm!

[Mike S.]

With the wind like that, it won't be a bad day. I will even wait for you to back the boat in this time.
