April 25 List

[Dropshot]

I'll be out with my buddy from work. We were going to launch at Ballard at around 7:00 am. Is that still the launch or has everyone decided to move. See you all on the lake !

[MadWags]

Mojo,

I'll call you guys out on the lake to give you and whats his name your baits back, that have been anointed in Elsalto water.
I'm launching elsewhere.

Looks like 20-30MPH winds and a chance of thundershowers. 

[Jay-MadWags]

I don't care that the weather man says it should be nice. . .
Bring your rainsuits!  And maybe a kite.

[MadWags]

With strong SW winds it would make more sense to go out of Harley and fish the SW corner of Anchor Bay which is loaded with toads I am sure. Staying tight to the mile roads should work too.

BAD BAD BAD. Went out today Friday. I will not be launching at the Spill way There are trees floating down the spill way full size trees. There was 3- 4 ft waves all day. All the mile roads are chocolate milk The bay is not as bad but dark about 1 Ft visibility or less. Im up in the air about going but If I do it will be out of the north west. Just an up date.

I will not be able to make it tommorrow....I have a couple of things I need to wrap up on my boat and I am sicker than a dog....I think I got a touch of this flu going around..I may try to go out Sunday if I am feeling better...It is only going to take an hour or so to wrap up the boat...
I have been kind of watching this outing develop and trying to figure out where you guys are at on boaters it looks like you are setting pretty good...So that took some pressure off...

I would highly advise taking off at Harley or Selfridge......My buddy at work lives just down the road from the Cut off ramp and he said it is a mess...He launched his nice Champion there, but was not happy about it...

It looks like the winds are going to shift to the North East Sunday so that could make things interesting..

You can always pitch and Flip largies out of the Canals at Metro if things get too bad..They seem to always be in there no matter how dirty the water gets..

I just looked at the weather.  There are small craft warnings out through Saturday.

Are we sure we still want to do this?

We could just go to Kent Lake and join the other group from GLB.

[MadWags]

Kent sounds good.
Lets do it!

[SethV]

Yeah, the water has actually gotten muddier since yesterday.

Looks like mud moving into Anchor as well.  About the only almost decent stuff is near the Det River mouth.  As the current pulls the dirty water that will probably get trashed also.

Not sure what to do but I don't think it is worth wasting time on St Clair.

[csfishslayer]

I would be game for that. Let me know. It's been awhile for Anyone have directions.

[Wolf_fisherman]

went out on st clair yesterday as well. its gotten muddier while we were out there. and ballard has gotten worse as cs said. i had to clear the ramp just so we could get the trailer down there to get boat. I dont care where we fish just someone let me know. leave me a pm cause i'm going out tonite. its my last cpl days of vaca and only got out once cause of weather.

[csfishslayer]

Im Going to Kent anyone would like to meet I should be there 6:30 OR 7:00.

[fiker]

Bender and I are going to back out of  Clair.  We're going to be at the East launch of Kent Lake  at 6:30 AM.

[dartag]

see  you at Kent.  you could call it the EBA goes west event.  see you there.  should be a nice day.   I drove through today and the water is stained.   Chris will know where to go.

[bassassasin88]

Someone let me know if you need a back seater. PM me.

[SethV]

Looks like Kent is the plan.  I will be at the East Launch between 6:30 and 6:45.  David is planning to ride with me.  Jon also needs a boater, so I will take both unless we have another boater without a backseater.

[Bender]

I would be game for that. Let me know. It's been awhile for Anyone have directions.

Here's a map to the east launch: http://tinyurl.com/dktjs6

Someone let me know if you need a back seater. PM me.

If there's not an empty seat then you can ride with me. 3 in a boat on Kent is not a problem.

[Bass_Cat]

I was gonna have to quit early tomorrow anyways due to family obligations and with the long ride over there (and 696 being worked on) I think I'm gonna have to pass on this one. I am going to get out on Lake St. Clair somewhere for a few hours and I'll let you know how I do.
