Haven't been on here much in a couple months, haven't been out fishing since probably July. Son had a Wedding,a trip to Vegas, work commitments, a trip to the UP, and waterfowl hunting every weekend, grandson Aiden (9) shot his first Canadian goose.
Fell 13 foot off a barn roof I was building a week ago last Monday, nothing broke just sore as heck for a couple days. Pride hurt as much as anything.
With December now here, beginning to think ice fishing will be here soon.....bought a new Marcum fishfinder last season which didn't get used.....never went out, not enough ice for me to feel comfortable on.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
I guess I better start reading the goings on here since I've been absent lately......
Sounds like you've been a busy man. Glad your fall didn't turn out to be serious. Hopefully we can hook up this winter and try to catch a few fish.
Now that my parents are close by, I'm sure we will venture out quit a bit this winter. Shaping up to have ice really soon.
Hopefully some good ice. Think my vexilar needs a new battery this season, it sat on the shelf to long last year. It's about 4yrs old
Took a drive up to Six Lakes today to check on my cottage and noticed that the small lakes were starting to skim over. Hopefully the heavy snow holds off until we get safe ice. I will be charging the vex and camera batteries this weekend and start getting the portable and rods ready to go soon. Never made it out last year. With any luck this year will be better.
To all that are looking forward to ice:yikeshope you fish well..and do be SAFE...as for Dee and I.....we leave in the morning for AZ and SoCal....no ice thankfully...Merry Christmas!!!!
Have a great trip. I used to visit my parents in Arizone City every winter and loved traveling up to the Sedona/Jerome/Cottonwood area and over to Bullhead City and Lake Havasu. Been about 10 years since I've been out, I'm sure things have changed.
My brother spends his winters out in Needles California, warm, no snow, he goes fishing and pig hunting while hes there......sounds like a nice place to get out of the snow and cold.
My wife has 5 years yet to retirement at 62, then I can slow down. We hope to spend a few months each winter down south.
A little trivia for you Steve, Needles is where Snoopys brother in the Peanuts comic strip lived. I can remember that but sometimes forget why I drove into town. Go figure.
All I know is that those places are nice to visit ,YET all my late relatives who moved out there, stayed out there for 3 years tops..Could not get the Michigan seasons out of there system..Have a younger friend that lives in Florida , drives up here every fall to spend time deer hunting an salmon fishing and seeing the leaves change. I was borne here and even though I grumble every time I have to move snow , I also enjoy when I look out at the frost flakes sparkling in the air an off the snow, load crack and pops as the lake is making Ice. Do not forget how it covers the pines .Now if people would just slow down and not pile up 40 plus cars on the expressway every first snow. THIS IS RAMBLIN'
Sounds like you and me have the same brain functions......my wife is always amazed at the useless amount of trivia I have stored in my head......I make a great partner in Trivia games.Quote:

But I kinda like the Beatles
Well I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles;
Can you feel it?
Must be real it...
Feels so good.
Oh, it feels so good.
That's impressive. Closet I can come is that I have actually " been standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona" several times. They even have a flat bed Ford setting there.
I had to smile when I saw my neighbors out with the snow plows Sunday. I love Michigan and will be buying a nonresident license, But I don't miss the deep snow.
I've walked in Memphis but my feet were not 10 feet off of Beal!
Made it..we will be in AZ till Thur...leave for SoCal then..be there for a month(?)...then back to AZ for a month or so...
Hug.....not moving here yet...summer to HOT..nice for the winter tho!!! been invited to go fishing already, so not bad eh'
Oh ya...flatbed is still in Winslow, came thru yesterday......5
12 degrees out this morning, making ice........
Fridge is on down here in Florida, still making ice. 72 degrees out.Quote:

Gonna be a better 2017, that's my New Years resolution.
Not sure how you guys feel but it's been 4 weeks without water on my boat and this sunshine we're having is killing me :)
I know what you mean. All this nice weather and no way to fish it.

The sunshine is fine, just need some warmer weather to mix with it.
Its a new year and it's time for a new thread...this one's closed!
