I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I thought Genie was going to fish...?? But after an exhaustive search of the sign up thread... I find no such note?!?

Maybe you could talk him into it?!? He can even fish right by me (if he thinks that's really a good idea)?!?

Ok - if I talk 2 more vacillating boaters into it, you won't need to make the long trip with the boat, but I'll put you down for now.

That puts us even at the moment. I will send out email tonight to ask everyone to confirm with me again just to be sure.

I still have one or 2 boaters thinking about it for the one or two of you with possible boat availability issues.

I couldn't find anything on this site, but here is something to be aware of for this weekend......

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Lake St. Clair Fisheries Research Station will be conducting a fisheries survey in Anchor Bay, Lake St. Clair, from Thursday, May 7, to Friday, May 22, 2009. The primary purpose of the survey is to assess the status of predator fish populations in the lake. The survey gear used will be trap nets, located along a 10-foot contour, between the Clinton River and New Baltimore. Each of the five nets will be marked with at least two floating flags and nine smaller bouys. The nets are approximately 650 feet long. Boaters and anglers are encouraged to watch out for these markers and to avoid boating or fishing near them. Anglers who catch tagged fish, are encouraged to report the catch to the MDNR. Anglers can call the Lake St. Clair Fisheries Research Station (586-465-4771) to report catching tagged fish or if they have additional questions regarding the net survey. Anglers can also report catching a tagged fish on the internet at http://www.michigandnr.com/taggedfish/.

The map below shows the approximate locations of the survey trap nets

The approximate lat/long coordinates are
42 38.558 82 45.866
42 38.070 82 45.873
42 37.873 82 46.518
42 37.276 82 46.068
42 36.945 82 46.185

I'll just follow you.....I am just going to scoop some out of the nets anyway...As long as I immediately release all should be good.   ;D

djkimmel

Those nets are out there every year this time in the same places. I actually went out with them last year and observed them pulling the nets, measuring and recording the various fish. It was very interesting and fun. The trap nets are fairly small and well marked, out quite a ways from shore.

Dan,

Do you happen to have a Golden Rule that I can purchase?  I'm trying to avoid a run all the way up to BPS and getting one from Anthony Adams if I can...

Thanks,
