Never heard of the beer thing, heard of drinking a 7 up. The charter guys never made any suggestions or offered us anything. If I ever go on the salt again, I'm getting the prescription stuff. Dramamine is next to worthless IMO.

I have been seasick one time, and it was bad. However, I'd chum, and you kind of recover for a few minutes after chumming, so I picked up my rod and kept fishing and got my limit of silvers that day. On a charter and it's not coming back until everyone limits. There were 8 of us on the boat that day and all of us were sick to one degree or another. Swells with wind chop on top, it was tough to stay on your feet. Had to go out to an oil drilling platform out in the gulf once to do a software upgrade. You fly out to those things on a helicopter. As we were hovering above that very small looking landing pad, you could see the platform slowly going up and down in the swells. I thought uh-oh, I could be in trouble, but as you check-in once you land, they had a medic present that asks you a few health questions and he asked if I might get seasick, I said it sure is a possibility, so he gave me a couple of pills, and I was fine for the 24 hours I was out there. And that was good as they have excellent food on those rigs,

Nice ling, I think they are better eating than halibut.

Couple of allegations surfacing on the BASS event going on St. Clair right now that a couple of guys kept bass hooked outside the mouth. It is against the regs to do so in Michigan, and Ontario.

Here is one for you if you haven't caught one yet, Starry flounder. Used to catch them in Puget Sound bouncing lead jigs off the bottom. Starry flounder - Wikipedia

I'm pretty sure they are all stocked. Might as well harvest them. I remember reading somewhere that AGFC was thinking of doing another stocking. A few weeks ago I was on Table Rock, heard some noise in front of the trolling motor, saw a paddlefish just as it was swimming back down. I'm guessing 30 lber., nowhere near the size of the Beaver fish.

Believe it or not, cabezon are good to eat.

That is one big bow!

Article says "caught", but it was hit by a boat and someone retrieved it. Big son of a gun for sure. 165-pound fish caught at Beaver Lake (nwahomepage.com)

Nice King! They are strong fish, I miss fishing for them.

Very nice! If you're lucky there will be a "heat wave" meaning the temps might get up into the 70's.

HAHA, they were putting them away, they had put them on the roof of their vehicle the night before, planning to go yakking the next day.

Here's one for JF. Where you been John, haven't seen you post in a while? @Johnsfolly

Light rain now, didn't get a bunch, maybe 1/4"-half an inch. 71 degrees, got the windows open.

I thought some of the rain that has been coming through in the last week would've hit you up there.

Here comes the storms. 10 minutes after I took this pic, it got windy, dark, and now it is raining. Going to be a brief cool down however which is going to feel great!

It was downright nasty yesterday. In the afternoon, went to the outdoor gun range, then walked a couple of miles. Worked up a good sweat.

There is some sort of kiddie camp up on that hill behind point 22 and they are out there early circling through that area kicking up wakes. Makes it no fun to fish. Used to catch some bass off Pinnacle Point right on the channel edge. Haven't been up there in a while. Here's a nine something caught late May. Bet it would've gone over 10 when it had eggs.

Thanks for the invite, too much going on for me to leave here, but one of these days I want to fish that lake.

Never been there, but would like to give it a shot one of these days. Elites are going to be there July 27-30, catch some of the live coverage if you can and you'll see what they are using.

That gives you an excuse to do more fishing!

Those things were eyeballing us. I'm sure they were hoping one of us would keel over so they could have lunch.

MO put in some pretty big piles around the Big M area a year ago, as part of that project with Johnny Morris. They were sinking cedar trees, it made some big piles. Three years ago I saw AGFC doing the same thing around the dam area on Beaver, they were cutting cedars, hauling them down to the lake, taking them out on a barge, and sinking them.

I believe there are two types of whitefish, Lake whitefish and Mountain whitefish. Something else for you species guys to hase. I saw a Wardens show where they were watching guys catching whitefish on one of the great lakes that were making their spawning run. Fishing at night, cold weather, did not look like fun. Some of them were snagging, which is verboten and landed them in trouble with the wardens.

I'm sure I could eat one. A lot of people that kept them, smoked them. I never targeted whitefish, every once in a while I'd get one while steelhead fishing.
