Norm , You Are a Freak... "714"s My vote is for Percocet the man is wading for God sakes.. We don't want him falling face first into the river UNLESS we are all there to see it!!

Ken, I was thinking of the migration myself somewhere down the line. I have noticed a lot more severe weather lately(last couple of years) and I don't want to deal with that... Up of Michigan 22 feet of snow last winter...Pass. So we will research for now and dream of retirement, which may be all I ...

Sorry Sam but I couldn't disagree more!! I waded with a huge leak and acquired some nasty infection that took two trips to the doctor, as well as some skin necrosis that still has left a mark. Never did figure out why or where It came from other than the river.. Might have been unlucky and ran into ...

Your title says it all... So now we fish because its what we do! Norm I am with you... My wife who is smarter than I asked me a long time ago " how many fish pictures do you need? I called her once to come and take a picture of me and a 19 inch Fox river smallie at one of my favorite .. Non secret ...

I believe the water was fluctuating between 57 and 62 degrees up North and when the water got to 62... The Bite died.

I am a Smallie guy at Heart but 21 inch largemouth prespawn smacking spinnerbaits are still fun. Caught a bunch of fish between 14 and 19 ...

Yea , what he said... I'll let you know what I figure out up North.. I expect to find fish getting up to shore but not spawning yet!! Time will tell.

When, I parked down there and usually on a weekend, I would write a small note asking them to call my cell if I was pissing them off for parking in their lot and I would gladly move the car rather than get towed. Never had any problem and one rather large employee would meander out and say hello on ...

I am forced to use my two personal days or donate them to the cause so I will be out meandering... Not exploring that would take too much effort on my part. Did catch two yesterday on a spinner bait letting it flutter down in some depressions made by storm pipes. The river is still ripping and the ...

Even with all the high water I didn't see Any fish in the Creeks I have been around. They were stacking up with shiners before the rain but not now.. All the islands in clark island are underwater.. No desire to get in that water... cleaned the basement for fun this weekend, used tequila as a ...
