Where do you get the one day license, ~15 bucks isn't too bad? I'm sure that you can't give the water cops $$$ when they pull you over.  ;D (wish it was that easy)

Are there any boaters that we have going that are planning on fishing US waters only??

Revtro

If we fish the channels, I'll be ok with sticking in US waters for ya.  No problemo.

Since I really am not familiar with the channels I wouldn't mind staying out of Canadian waters. I bet we can find good areas in the U.S. If guys a pulling in 4-5 pounders in Canadian waters maybe we can run in and get the daily?
If we launch out of Algonac I do need to be off the water around noon to 12:30 to make my flight that afternoon, I need to be home in Brighton by 2:30. 
I don't know which I am looking forward to more, fishing LSC or my first summer vacation in 4 years and only the second in 15 years. Either way I don't want to miss the flight to find out the difference. Plus I am planning a deep sea trip if I can afford it.

According to the Ontario DNR website, non-resident licenses are available throught the mail by caling this number 1-800-667-1940.

I've personally never tried doing that.

There are places in the US channels to keep us busy, however my friends tell me that if you make the run to Fawn and Stag Islands when they are hot, that it's really something.

I've never done that either.

I was reading over on LSCN.com that a portion of the river or some of the channels my be closed on Saturday due to the boat races. Anyone now how to confirm this?

Yeah, Seth mentioned that.  Here's the info
http://www.drtruax.com/chriscraft1.htm

It looks like it's mostly in Algonac on the River, so the channels shouldn't be a problem and most of that is US water.

So does that mean we can still launch at the DNR ramp on the North Channel?

Tom, will we be able to fish the spots that you and I fished on the North Channel last Monday?

I'm reasonably certain we can launch at the N. Channel Ramp and not be near any of the boat race action.  If so, fishing all the areas we fished the other day Rick should be no problem.

Is anyone willing to give the race people a call just to make sure of their race area?  I'd do it, but I'm crazy busy as I am in a 3 day conference and my dad comes in Sunday for a week.

It sounds to me like it's up in the river, not in the channels.  There may be additional boat traffic though that day because of the race, but we can deal with that.  It's always a zoo on the weekends anyway.

I sent them an email through the "contact us" listed on the page. Also here is where it is supposed to be:
Where will this take place? Off of the City of Algonac public boardwalk between the old
Henry's restaurant & the US Customs office.
- Chris

Revtro

I assume that means the customs office at the ferry which is at the head of Russel Island.  The Boardwalk is North of there.  So we should be ok in the channels.

Cool! 

Now all I need is some more 3/8 oz jig heads, some more drop shot hooks and I'm good to go.

Does anybody want to car pool?  I live in Dexter (just west of Ann Arbor)

I can meet on I-96 or I-94,as it's about the same either way.

Is this the ramp? http://www.greatmich.com/boat_launch/north_channel.htm
Official sunrise is around 6:45, but I think it is light a little before that. What time do you want to meet there?
- Chris
www.nemesisbaits.com

Revtro

Yeah, that must be it.  It's hard to tell from that small map, but the only other DNR launch in the North Channel is at Decker's and that's the other end of the channel.  How about we say 6:30?  Does that time work for everyone? 

BTW- There is an easier way to get there that doesn't entail having to travel through New Baltimore with slower speed limits.

Take 94 East and exit at 26 Mile Road.  Turn Right.

Go down several (5 I think) miles (2 lights) to Palms Road.  Turn right onto Palms.  Take that until it ends (next light) and turn left.  You are now back onto 23 Mile (Dixie, Dyke, Green, Pt. Tremble, whatever they want to call it at that point)  They are all the same road!

Follow that around through the marsh several miles.  Once you pass Nook Road, you come up to a light that has a Wendy's and a shopping plaza.  The launch is across from that stuff on your right.  Google map it first, so you can know how far down because I'm not totally sure.

I've read through all the posts and this is what I've come up with in no particular order, nor pairing:

Boaters                                     Non-boaters

Revtro                                         Bass Kid
yukonJack                                    Fiker
Langer                                         Daryl (Langer's Dad)
Bender
Bob690
                          Dropshot (either way)
Seth

Since Bender has to leave early, and Dropshot can  be a boater or nonboater, may I suggest that you both be nonboaters to even things up, and perhaps that will make it easier for Chris to make his flight.  It is only a suggestion, so please don't think I'm being bossy or anything. 

Going out from the North Channel Launch by Wendy's off of 29 in Algonac.

The suggested launch time is 6:30 AM.  If that's when we go off that means that MichKid and I will have to leave our houses at around 4:30. 
(I've driven that route along I-94 to 26 mile and it takes an hour and 45 minutes from Howell to the boat launch.)  If that's when everybody wants to launch I'll make it but frankly I don't even know if the fish will be up yet.

Chris if you want, give me a call if you need directions.  It really is easy to find from here.

MichKid call me Thursday night for car pooling.  We're going to try and hook up with Seth also.  You both have my cell number.

I just read my earlier post.  In regards to launch time I don't know what I was thinking.  6:30 is fine with me. 

My only excuse is that last night when I wrote it I was extremely tired and in need of sleep. 

I apologize for whining.  Because as we all know, "There's no whining in Bass Fishing".

Add Steve Liegghio to the list as a nonboater... no internet.
