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.

I need to replace my trailer for my 16' aluminum deep v. My problem is that it seems like every mfr. i find builds them with those piece o crap bias-ply tires. And they all have fenders that will not allow a swap for radial tires. And they build them with weight capacities that are on the minimalist side. I guess i'm looking for an "overbuilt" trailer. Any custom trailer builders out there? thanks....

There is a place called VanKam here in Muskegon.  They build a lot of custom trailers, all aluminum.  They built my dad's snowmobile trailer, and they are awesome.  Probably the nicest snow trailer I have ever seen.  They might be able to do up a nice boat trailer for you.  Not real hard to make one of those.  Give them a call, 231-744-2658.
