We still have room in the Tahoe if someone on the West side needs a ride over. 
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

I can fish 3 from my boat.

Thanks Cy. Still waiting on confirmation from a few boaters for things.

Make firefighterjeff bring his boat!

  Mike, I believe you have a boat you could bring also.  Splitting gas costs with a guy that lives just a few miles from me makes more sense.  I took my boat and vehicle last year.  This year it's TritonTR20 (Bob)'s turn.  :)

Okay - a couple minor changes to the latest list of boaters, nonboaters and the 'draft' draw that is close to final. I have 2 boaters who talked about fishing that I have to call tomorrow, and 2 boaters who have not confirmed they are still in. Might be a couple more changes yet. I have 1 nonboater that might decide to fish after canceling previously due to a work schedule change.

1 minor update so far today - added the member name of Dave B's fishing partner. I still have 4 boaters to get ahold of by phone - 2 I believe are fishing and 2 who said they might or would fish.

Lost a boater. Waiting on 1 boater to confirm he will definitely be there to take out a nonboater. Waiting / hoping to hear back from 2 other boaters who talked about fishing but have not confirmed. (Listen to your voicemail... :) ).

Three nonboaters have talked about fishing yet but they are shy, or worried about 3 in a boat (I can 'vouch' for 1 of them who hit me in the back once really, really hard with a big spinnerbait!! and that was with just 2 in a boat!!! Left a welt that looked like a shrapnel wound!!).

Stay tuned as we all find out together how this all turns out...!?! :D

(PS: People are catching some BIG ole pigs over there this week!)

spinnerbait is light weight, try a 1/2 oz tube jig along the jaw, now that really hurts almost knocked me out of the boat and darn near knocked me out. Actually broke my jaw according to my dentist the next week.

Depends on how big the spinnerbait is and how hard the dude (not - thedude) was trying to throw it!!! I don't call him Rocket Cast for nothin'! Later, I will tell you how 'Between the Eyes' Bay got its name! ;D

Okay... I've updated the team of Kukla, Dan and Mally...

Waiting for 1 boater to confirm he can still be there. Hoping to hear back from 1 other new boater but I'm guessing he can't make it.

We should get everyone out regardless with only a few triples - a few  of those were their plans, not mine. I hope everyone makes it Saturday.

dan - Hoekset(Dave) will be the boater and we probably have room for a 3rd person if they aren't as fat as me or dave .... ;D
Justin,
Glad to hear that you are coming over to fish!  I am really looking forward to Sat.  Looks lie we could get some significant wind though.  That is never fun on the big water.
