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.

That is awesome!  My family got a kick out of it.

Big dreams


Big dreams

Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Linkin Park to name a few.  I usually listen to tunes before and during the launch.  The 15-30 minutes on the lake before take off, I usually focus on what I plan on doing (check water temp, weather conditions, reviewing GPS to insure I know exactly where I am going).

The last trip out to LSC I was listening to Reel Big Fish.  Yup.

The current playlist (actually, CD's loaded in the changer) is a variety of genres. Herbie Hancock (this one is an eclectic mix in itself), Stanley Clarke, Living Colour, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jamiroquai, and The Fugees.

The music that is currently in there is there because I drive by myself most of the time. Actually the Herbie Hancock CD ("Possibilities") runs the gamut from jazz to pop to folk to rock to "the standards".

That said, I have been known to dial up some country western from time to time. And, being a native Detroit rocker, I grew up on Uncle Ted. I'm an "Old School" metal head.

One of my current CD favorites is by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Jazz banjo! How's that for a little country/jazz mix?

About the only music that I can't stomach (in heavy doses) is old Motown (go figure).

That is great!! Looks like I found my new jam on the way to the ramp

my good friend and fishing/tourney partner is a fan of rap.  I am not.  For the past few years, he has put together a "tournament cd" for us to listen to driving to the tournament.  It has got to be some of the most hardcore explicit rap you can imagine.  I still can't stand rap, but whenever we drive to a tournament, something just seems off if it isn't playing.
I have however been able to open his musically tastes a bit, so its not too bad.
Brian Schrams "Rockin Fish Tales" is a pretty decent listen if you want some good tunes with a fishing theme to it.

Though I haven't fished in a long, long, long time. When I used to fish I always had a custom cassette tape made up repeating the following  BLue Oyster Cult  Godzilla, ACDC For those about to rock , POD here comes the BOOM and Dwight Yokam Long white Cadillac and the Outlaws Ghost riders in the sky.  Don't ask me why, but when I was fishing I would constantly sing these songs in my head and it would seem to keep me at an even pace all day during the event.

Sounds like you need to break out the music and go fishing!

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
