    Couple things to remember.
    Drift Socks.
    Everyone is dealing with the same stuff.
    St.Clair is easier to run.
    Humps, Humps, Humps
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes,
    Did I mention Tubes.
    I’ll be getting their tonight also, look for the Brovarney Baits Traveling Tackle Box.

    Motion Sickness medicine…..Use prefish to figure out which one does not make you dopey.

    Wear briefs not boxers……Nothing is more fun than going airborne and coming down on the twins

    Only 20 feet?

    Quarter the waves when you are going with the wind if you are not used to driving in big rollers. Trim it down and take it easy.

    Good Luck

    Hey Joe,

    I fished the big water on Georgian Bay a couple of years ago at Regionals and you’ll do just fine. The drift sock thing is huge…it’ll save your TM big time. Take your time on the rollers and they’re actually easier to run than the nastiness on the lake we had last year…they’re farther apart. Put your seat back on the front deck…you’ll want something to lean on. GPS everything, including the landing. Sounds like the guys fishing Lake Erie right now are fishing about 30 feet (if you can believe ’em!). Good luck and have fun…no matter what, you’ll learn alot!

    Speaking of REAL fish, make sure that you ask Slop Bass what he had in his livewell when I ran into him on pool 4 today.

    A 7# in the LIVEWELL
    That is about the same as putting a 5# LM on the grill
    But that is okay though, it is ONLY a walleye

    I’ll let him tell the story, but since he probably won’t be on-line until Sun night, I suggest we rip away , but not right now because I’m headed down to pool 4 to follow him around and throw some rocks at him

    Funny Ladies

    That’s RIGHT!!! I had a 28.5″ 7# Walleye in the livewell all day. It’s going to look good in my office

    It must be easy to catch trophy walleyes, I mean, this one hit a spinnerbait in 2 ft. of water….not to mention I caught 2 or 3 more flippin’ jigs.

    Big Money Jones blanked on day 1 on the Co-Angler side. What’s up with that?

    Thats the risk you run co-angling. Maybe a bad draw?
