Leaving the state for a bit

[mikesmiph]

I recently got a new job that is going to be taking me out of state. Tomorrow I will be leaving for the Atlanta GA area for about 6 months. My schedule is going to be fairly free so I hope to come home for some tournaments. I will remain active on this site, and look forward to everyone's fishing reports. I will also be telling you about my awesome fishing trips in Georgia and Alabama, and anywhere else down there that we decide to fish. I've already had a few tell me they are coming down to visit. This is highly recommended. I would love a chance to see some of you. If I don't see you, have a great and fish filled summer. You people are like family to me.

We will miss you.

Good luck and safe travels Mike. Didn't see you at the show. You have my number. Call anytime if you get bored.

Six months? Will you be back in time for the GLB west side tournament? Don't get too used to the warmer weather Mike.  Also, please don't get spoiled by Florida strain largemouths.  Safe travels as well.  Won't be the same without you and Veronica.

At least now I know you really did tell me Atlanta Georgia. People kept telling me Atlanta Michigan at the show. Make sure you keep extra sun screen around. You will need it more often. Will send you some pictures of GIANT smallmouth to show your new friends.

Hope you remembered to pack some Alabama rigs?!?

   Best of luck Mike.  Now who the heck is going to grill the weenies at the Spring DK open??

[Mojo]

Make sure you pass my cell along to your family so Veronica and Caelyn can get together on the pontoon this year. OR PM me something so we can get em out to the beach..... And when you come back, m'e casa sou casa ....

Good luck with your adventure - sounds like fun and some good fishing opportunities!

I heard he might make it back for the MadWags. I think we will need a different weenie roaster though??

[mikesmiph]

Well guys, for those who aren't friends on FB, I'm back in Michigan. Timing is everything. A small area hail storm hit in Michigan a couple weeks ago and my company wanted me back due to my knowledge of the area. So, here I am. Unless something happens with one of these tropical storms, I'll probably be here till spring. Can't wait to get on some of these lakes. And yes, we will be at the fall MadWags.

Cool.

[YpsiBass]

Frog event too, Mike?

[mikesmiph]

Frog event too

[djkimmel]

How did you manage to pull all this off? Until next spring? How big was the hail?!?

[Mojo]

The man is back ! Take him fishing!

[mikesmiph]

But, leaving again. Back to the Atlanta (Georgia Dan) area. Hopefully just for a couple weeks.
