    I was LMAO visualizing the cluster you described in your report (we’ve all been there, more than once!). Honestly, if you need a net, let me know. I’ll be coming over to that side of the state next week to fish. Jim 517.715.3620

    Hey FBD, how you been? Long time no hang out fishing or hunting. I've mostly been kayak bass fishing the last several years. Hope to reconnect and go fishing sometime! Mull

    Good to hear from you. Haven’t been fishing as much as I should and need to fix that.

    I have a new phone long story but gravity and a mountain bike finished off my old phone. Send me a text at 616 218 1069 and we can coordinate shenanigans.

    Read your post about MTB and an injured arm. I too have the same problem. In 2021 went OTB and l destroyed my L rotator and this year I went OTB and injured my rotator but really racked myself up too. Bike is now for sale......

    Cuff is fine. End of my collarbone popped way out of place and is never going back. Like it juts up out of my shoulder. Disgusting.

    Hey, I saw you’re a bit of an expert on the Waste water. I read a lot on the area. It seems there is a few tricks to the area. My buddy and I are just a couple Vets new to the area trying to test that place out. is there any tips you can give us that isn’t in the threads? I don’t want to steal any one’s hot spot, but a few tips would be helpful for us like what fields are good, what shell spread etc
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Good day! Your name came up as a good resource for spring trolling Lake Michigan. Could I bend your ear a bit? Looking to gather some information for this spring, as it would be my first spring fishing the West side.
    Thanks!

    Hey FBD,

    Hunted Todd with you a couple years back now. You put me on my first field goose! Thanks again. I remember you mentioning Todd's walk in for ducks when goose season hasn't started. Just saw this pop up in a previous topic on here. What's your experience been like? Does it get packed full of guys?

    Thanks,
    Jake

    Not so bad but it's hit or miss on ducks. On the days with ducky weather it gets busier. You will see birds, but getting them to come out is a trick.

    FBD, There are some of us, that are members of HIWHA that are making sure that doesn't happen (unfair advantage to regulars/islanders). Just at the last meeting I made the point of how absurd an idea it was to make boat parking areas for corn zones. BTW, I actually got my Life Membership plaque in the mail today.

    Just talking crap due to Fsamie's posts. Even though we don't get out there much, I love the work that you're doing. Probably need to get out this year as my daughter has about worn out her sweatshirt.

    Hello Mr. FBD,

    Fishing out of Muskegon this week and it seems with the water temps, as you pointed out, the fish could be/are in shallow. What are your go-to lures? Do spoons and walleye-type Rapala body baits work? What about inline weights to get the lures down? How shallow is shallow? I ran in 12 FOW yesterday with the inside board probably in 8-9 fow.

    Thanks!

    F.B.D. I grew up in holland and heard a rumor that lake mac is giving up walleyes like it did in early 80s, have you heard that? L now live near Lansing but would certainly make the trip if this is true. Thanks crossneyes

    Sorry about the delay, didn't even know there was a message function here. Yes, you can get some walleyes in Mac anytime, but the latest thing is sometimes (but not always) when the big lake flips and gets cold near shore, the walleyes that are scattered throughout Lake Michigan move into Lake Macatawa.

    Would love some info on how you're getting the steelhead. I will be out there next weekend (from MN) visiting my family and will be heading out fishing. Being from MN, I don't have the ability to go find them on my own. Any help would be appreciated. We would prefer Muskegon, but anything near there is in the cards if need be. Just want to have some action and not get skunked.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there a swap meet in Holland this weekend or is it next weekend? I thought I saw a post but can't find it.

    Youre on the right track with the 4 winns. 2016 will be the worst king season weve ever seen. 2014 and 15 will most likely be the new normal

    Kevin, PM me. I want to give you my # should you ever run into problems out there again. For some reason I can't PM you here.

    Have some good overcast here today so planned on using our South Carolina spread where we work the top 20 primarily with short cores and coppers off boards with Jr & Mini streaks - may throw a Rapala on as well but seem to do better on spoons.


    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Always enjoy reading your post.

    Thanks,

    Evans
