The wifey and I found a good crappie hole in a local lake. Minnows and an extra small hook (like a #16) have been the ticket.

I was able to put the chores aside and spend the weekend fishing with Roosterfish .
We hit the westside where fishing was terable the the pine river was a thick brown mess , the Manistee was not as thick with maybe 6" of visibility . The banks had about 5 extra feet of water on them .
Sunday was better , we hit the lake down the road and had a "Pro Bluegill Tournament ".
Bill was content to fish the lilypads for the small ones that provided nonstop action , I fished the deeper water for the large slabs .
Later we played hide and seek with the pike , The pike won , never a hit on any lure we used .

I'm sorry to hear about pup. I've been a dog owner most of my life and I completely understand.

I had one espically close dog named Bear. He was a Gerrman Shep Mix. Raised him from a pup. He went through a divroce with me, went on fishing trips, camping, loved tennis balls, plain hamburgers from Mickey D's and most of all me. If I went somewhere you can bet he was with me (or in the truck waiting) He was absolutely one of the best. (The one I have now "Sage" is a close second)

I cried like a baby for nearly 2 days when I had to put him down. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

Sucks loosing your very best friend in the world.

it was rough for me as well, she was a part of my every day life and went with me every where. I just noticed her nose prints on my windsheild a couple hours ago. Seems like there isnt a day that goes by without me seeing something that reminds me of her...
