I was out with Juan this weekend and I was really impressed by just about everything he had that you made. The predator craw and creek wacky worm really cleaned up for us (I'll post the trip info once I get some time to write a book ha ha).

Everyone, if the conditions are tough, throw them one of these baits and they won't refuse it! ]]> Tackle and Gear NateFollmer http://www.smallmouths.com/smallmouth-forum/showthread.php?t=1286 http://www.smallmouths.com/smallmouth-forum/showthread.php?t=1285&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:08:52 GMT A quote from MacBeth, Act 4, Scene1, 10-11 Very appropriate for the following story: ...

I sent this story to my State Representative.

Hopefully it is a common phenomenon and nothing else... keeping my fingers crossed for the nearby residents.

Many people, including our elected officials, have that "Wal-Mart Mentality"... Yea, I shop there, but don't build one in my backyard! Build it in someone else's backyard. :rolleyes:

This is all well and good, but don't bring the troubles into our districts. Problem is, they all get a vote. Ignorance will not be an accepted excuse if we keep them informed on this issue.

Seems like a good deal to me, just thought I'd pass it along.

I have a 12 ft Wilderness Systems Sit On Top Kayak, Tan , with a Scotty Rod Holder, Gel Seat Cushion, Egg Crate with PVC Rod Holders and a Life Jacket. This boat is VERY STABLE, you can even hang your legs over the side and fish. Tracks and manuvers well and is fast for its size. Very good condition. Some scratches from the creeks and river. A new T120 will go over 800.00 without the accessories. I had pics but I am having trouble with my camera. The boat was shed kept until just a week ago. I hate to let it go but times and conditions make it necessary. My loss is your gain. If interested phone 717 881 6556. If no answer leave a message and I will return your call. Your gonna love this boat. I do and it is tough letting it go. ]]> Classifieds CHRGD http://www.smallmouths.com/smallmouth-forum/showthread.php?t=1283 http://www.smallmouths.com/smallmouth-forum/showthread.php?t=1282&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:21:36 GMT Hello.

I am contemplating buying a boat to fish Lake Erie for smallmouth (not walley,...).
My problem is (suprisingly!) that I cannot find any real information about smallies in the western basin. I live near monroe so would be putting out of sterling state park south to Luna pier. This whole area seems to be Walleye only (Suprise!) with a few Walley Charters offering 'Smallmouth fishing'.
Before is spend $'s on a boat I would like to gather more information about smallmouth in this are of lake erie:
1.) I am aware of the mouth of the Detroit River, but that is to far for me to go.
2.) I am aware of the mouth of the river raisin but this is an awfully small area.

So, Does anyone know a decent smallmouth guide out of Monroe Michigan? I am very interested in finding out the smallmouth range around monroe Michigan. I would be awfully bored if I purchase a boat and then find there are only a few areas that hold smallies.

Anyone fish for smallies out of Monroe Michigan? I would appreciate any input.

Is it time for my mid-life crisis yet?

A package came to my house yesterday. My wife told me NOT to open it. She didn't say to NOT read the return address. It was from Albright Flyfishing Co. I bet it's curtain rods and it's some type of cruel joke to be played upon me. But it could also be a new 8 wgt fly rod.... I guess I'll find out tonight. If it's curtain rods... I'll flip!!! :D

I made a 1/8oz jig with an EWG hook and a very sparse skirt with a 3" beaver type trailer and last weeks 2 trips were excellent for trying them out, the green fish have had lockjaw for for awhile and we started out fishing texas rigged worms in deep water and some crankbaits to no avail so we moved up and fished laydowns and rock piles but still no action so we broke out the jigs and it wasn't long before we got bit. In 2 days we boated 11 fish, not good but considering most guys we talked to we zeroing or catching 1 o 2 I'd say we were pretty successful. I was fishing the dead sea aka Blue Marsh lake and the bite is just not there but the little jig has worked really well, especially in black/chart. and black/blue, I hope to try for some smallies in the next couple of weeks.
