Working the draft in Detroit was certainly interesting.
Someone dropped a Crack pipe in front of me when they tried to get through a baracade and I showed them the police car nearby.
I witnessed a car chase involving a stolen corvette.
The thief, while fleeing from police, missed a turn and ran into a pole.
A person who said he was with the Black Brothern Gang and could go wherever he wanted to forced his way through the baracade and got tazed by the police.
Yes the draft was quite interesting.
Next year it is in Green Bay 2026 is in Denver.

Hello stagers.
While in Detroit working the NFL Draf l took a nasty fall and chipped one ead of my Humorous,. The upper arm bone. The chip isn't severe enough to warrant any kind of treatment and will heal on its own, with a noticeable bump just under the elbow.
No cast
No sling, but I have to make sure that I don't hit it again and complete the fracture.
It hurts like wadden. Dr said to go ahead and use it, but any numbness or tingling to come in right away.
So dear friends I'm going to lay low for awhile.
I'll be back very soon.

Hit the ramp about 5:15 on a beautiful partly cloudy Sunday afternoon. Air temp was 70 with a 5 to 10 knot southwest wind and the water temp ranged from 56 to 59. Got some good info at the ramp from a nice fella on his way out. Said they were catching them in close off the Gold Coast trolling bandits 35-40ft back. Since his report and my plan pretty much lined up I was feeling confident. We started trolling just after Edgewater beach 1.6-1.8 MPH headed dead west in 16-26 ft of water. The graph was showing plenty of life so why not, I figured. Ran 2 perfect 10’s, 2 Bandits, a Flicker Minnow and a Husky Jerk. Took about 45 min to get our first on a Perfect 10 40ft set back. 20 min later we got our second fish on a Bandit 35 ft set back. 15 min later we got another on the Husky Jerk set back 50. Five minutes after that we had our forth on a flicker minnow 35ft back. Then we hit a lul and it wasn’t until we turned north mid way thru our turn around that we got out 5th fish on a Bandit set back 40ft. 20 min later we got our sixth fish on the Husky Jerk set back 50ft. Trolled back east till 8:40 then called it a day. We fished from 16-36ft of water and there were plenty of fish. The key was to keep your lures in that 10-15 ft running depths. We caught on purple, green, yellow, blue/red,& blue/green. Basically color didn’t matter. That’s why I like to keep a variety out even if I catch a lot on one particular color one day. All fish caught where post spawn males. Beautiful evening on Lake Erie couldn’t ask for more!!
