Putting the dock in Lake Mitchell in Cadillac this week. Getting the boat out of storage and working on it to be ready for Saturday. Then fish mornings at least 5 days a week. Golf with my brothers who live in Manistee and Thompsonville in the afternoons. Retirement is a good thing.

Dan,can you ban that guy?

No kiddin'  LOL 
So Justin, what are you planning to fish this year?

[djkimmel]

Instead of banning him... I might see if he will take me fishing!!!

Ban me? C'mon, I paid my dues. From 1997 to 2011, I had to work and live in New Jersey. New Freaking Jersey. Snookie. Paulie D. The Land of Corruption. While you all were in gorgeous Michigan hunting and fishing, I was in the place where New York dumps its garbage. So if you think I'm going to feel guilty about fishing all morning and playing golf all afternoon, fuggeddabout it. And it's good to be back in God's Country.

You must have done a serious crime to get 14years in Jersey.

Well just put in my big tackle order for the spring.  Turns out one of my neighbors also fishes so I think I'll be taking my tin can out a little more this summer.  Got some offers from guys on the board here to go fishing too so looking forward to getting out a lot more in 2012.  Now I just need to track down a frogging/swimbait/alabama rig rod...

To make up for last years' dwindled trip count , i'm shooting for 53 trips this year. May and June: after work 2 times a week, and both weekend days. That will get a good start. I average 37 trips a year,and 52 is my most so far. Would like to fish with any of the guys i met at bob's swap meet, and i would like to be a non-boater for once. Especially out of a glass boat. Never fished out of one yet. I want my 9 yr. old niece to catch a pike and/or a legal bass ths year. I would also like to take someone out that doesn't have access to a boat...

Avid Bass Anglers of Michigan will not be having their open tournament on Cass Lake this year on opening day.  The club has only the min. members in it now and it is very hard to run a quality tournament that way.  At the same time, with so many other opens the same day it has dropped the number of competitors fishing ours.  We are though trying to have the Harry Bracken Memorial Tournament on the Halfmoon Chain the first Sunday of Oct. though, so we will keep you posted.
