Boy, you got it bad! Sorry for that. Wife got into some a number of years ago and it morphed into a thing that made her face puff up and look like something from a horror movie. She ended up going to U of M and had a bunch of tests. Can't remember what the final prognosis was, but it was no longer poison ivy. Hope you don't have that much trouble getting rid of it.

Nice fish Jimmy...

Got a lesson in fishing ; Brother and I challenged a friend and a relative to an fishing contest . got beat like a toy drum. Lesson learned " DO NOT CHALLANGE THE GUYS WHO FISH A LAKE REGULARLY" never seen men catch pan fish like they were . Emberassing when you get a cell phone call asking if you want some fish cause they had limited out and wanted to keep fishing a little while longer.

watching leaves floating bye ,and drifted back to my first fishing days , and then the equipment. starting with the Cane pole with briaded Dacron line big snap swivel and an Eagle Claw snelled hook , then was allowed to try Grand Dads Phellugar bait caster(still have) ,steel rod ,metal an cork handle, no free spool , love the ruby red jewel bearings , talk about back lash. Next step dad got a Zebbco 33 with Monofillament line, fiberglass pole; luckily he had a Hula Popper on it as when he told me to relise the button, I let go of the pole. next improvement a Carcia Mitchel 300 with 2 spools, so out of balance when reeled fast wobbled like a dog shake'n of water ,fiberglass rod , monofilament. first gear of my own a Zebbco 33 Combo.(still have it). Good to flash back. But the new stuff sure is easier on the arms.

Were moved into house in Indiana, trying to get plates on boat trailers here is a paaaaaaaaaaaain!! They act like since your from another state you must have stolen that trailer and plate. I half to send for a title for both trailers. Just a way to get into your pocket.

I fished Patoka lake a few times, great lake for crappie once you figure it out.
was always a pain to get a sticker for the boat, most states do not require us out of staters to purchase stickers, but they did.

Another Lake St. Clair beating; left before sunrise , got caught in stop an go traffic on I-96 ; made it to the ramp ready to go as the man at the bait shop said the Perch an Walleye were on fire and sold us 2 dozen emerald shiners and several Jars of Gulp minnows. weather man said winds would e LIGHT AND VERIABLE as we headed the 17Ft, ski boat across the bay to the middle channel were the Perch are waiting to jump in the boat. The wind decided to blow! next thing we did was vote to head for the Clinton river., several miles ,could not get a bite. turned around ,now wave are 3 Ft white caps . Water splashing over the wind shield drenching us , had to hold the boat back to keep waves from washing it into the concret ramp. The Sea Gulls circled waiting for the old fisherman to dump the minnows. NO fish caught. Nothing . If I ever go back to St. Clair it will be with Guide.

adding on to St. Clair trip ; water temp. 51 degress water visibility 3 foot in marinas ; 1-2 Ft Clinton river ; areas of main lake 4-5 Ft. even threw spinner baits , rattle traps, bomber cranks , Medussa an bull dog musky lures. it was a bad day for catching. I good day to be with my brother.
