My brother just sold his house. And moved away
Can’t make the annual pilgrimage to st Clair we enjoyed together for 3 years. This will be my 9th or 10th.
Got em figures out this time of year.
Bypassing guide this year.
Takin the Nitro and my buddy Nick.
Nick is a newbie.
Until I gave him a big league hook up , he had a third grader bright green tackle box and a couple POS outfits.
He’s now ready for the Super Bowl. Love this guy like a son. Good dude.
We sight fish bedding smallies.
Average weight 4 pounds.
Many 5s and my PB a 5-7 that I hope to crush this trip.
Numbers hover around 60 in the boat. Daily
Leavin after he gets off work Friday.
Fishin Saturday and a short day Sunday cause of his work schedule.
Gonna be a blast!!!

Good luck Ben, hope y'all whack em. St Claire has always been on my bucket list, just don't know enough about the big water to make the trip up. If you ever need a back seat for that trip give me a shout, I'd love to catch 60 in the 4 pound range, heck I'd take the 3 pound fish.

Supposed to have weather.
Of course we are.
If we get blowed off the lake , I know a sheltered bay with a bazillion docks and about 3 miles of sea wall. Largemouth habitat!
Mother Nature. She’s been trying to kick my butt for a lifetime . But I keep getting up . Bloody but I’m still standing
