Usually get out a few times for stripers but not this winter. The river is locked up solid and it looks like it's going to be a while. 1970 custom 16 with 1999 Merc 2 stroke 90hp

The snow is melting off of the shrink on my Montauk, but I have no idea when the roadside 4-5' berms will melt so I can actually tow it out of the side yard!

Myers and summer in St. Joseph, Michigan. It’s now about 12 years since I’ve joined this group. I gave my 1972 whaler to my daughter and sold the 17’. Bought an O’Day 28 sailboat and sailed on Lake Michigan. Yesterday I bought a 2005 130 Sport.

From what I have read the lake thaws sometine in May, but the fishing should be superb. Not sure if I will haul my Whaler on a 5000 KM road trip though.
