Well… I probably won’t be able to forget today… ever. One part of the ‘fond’ memories of my massive 6 pound catch of 3 measly little squeaker keepers is hauling my nonboater partner back out of the St. Clair River (69 F water) after he took a header off the bow.
Well, this didn’t go quite the way I personally hoped, but the team did pretty well. Modrak is leading and several other members – Cummings, Peck, Reiter off the top of my head (tired head) had real good weights.
Well, tomorrow it counts. Tomorrow the hooks will be set with full and unforgiving force because we all need to bring in the bags. We can’t let Michigan down and lose on our home turf!!! No way. We would never live it down.
What a day…? Not sure it taught me a lot, but… I think… once I dry out I will have a better idea. I ran into TBF of Michigan Pres Dennis Beltz on the way out this morning and spent some time going over plans
I’m not too proud of a man to admit when I’m wrong. And boy was I wrong. When I first saw a drop-shot rig, I thought the inventor must have been nuts.
2004 has been an interesting year for me. Overall, I went fishing far less than I have the past 10 or 15 years. I had slow days like everyone, but some good ones too though when I did get out.
With the Great Lakes ever more popular for bass anglers thanks to some of the best bass fishing ever, a popular topic for anglers just venturing out and a good refresher for those already with experience, is advice on how to safely handle all that big water.
Another fun year of fishing in and around Michigan this year. With the low water even affecting some inland lakes, we didn’t boat near as many big crappie as last spring, but marauding bass like this one made up for the slower fishing.
2001 was the year my best ‘shot’ to fish full time wound down. I thoroughly enjoyed that season despite having it not turn out quite the way I hoped.
Any time you win a state level event, it’s a satisfying and memorable day, but this win would only be 2nd on my list of good things that happened to me in the 2000 season.
