      <description>&lt;p&gt;OK&#8230;.In your fantasy, you get to choose one (and only one) body of water to fish this year,&lt;strong&gt; that you have never fished before&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It needs to be in North America (US or Canada). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What lake and why ?&amp;nbsp; Remember&#8230;only one.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;daughter just moved to Alpena Mi. plan on visiting every month or 2, I&#8217;m a smallie river fishing guy from central Pa. and would love some advise on small lake and river fishing in the Alpena area,&lt;br /&gt;
I asked some locals when I helped move my daughter in but they were a little tight lipped but I don&#8217;t think they realized I would be only fishing a few days up there and I haven&#8217;t kept a fish in 20 plus years, so anybody from around that area that can get me pointed to the right areas and typical tackle&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Rough day of fishing</title>
      <link>http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/11160/</link>
      <guid>http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/11160/#When:02:30:13Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Decided to head out to Lake Jordan today to get some fishing in.&amp;nbsp; It was the first time that I had a chance to go fishing since the trip to G&#8217;ville.&amp;nbsp; That&#8217;s been close to three months ago and I was starting to have withdrawals.&amp;nbsp; To top it off I haven&#8217;t had much opportunity since I&#8217;ve been home because of all of the rain we&#8217;ve been having.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jordan has an interesting set up.&amp;nbsp; The upper end has the damn coming in from Lake Mitchell and the lower end has the damn for Lake Jordan, but it also has a canal just above the lower damn that feeds Lake Bouldin which also has a damn on it.&amp;nbsp; Today the Lake Mitchell damn was running 4 turbines, the Lake Jordan damn was running 3 turbines and the Bouldin damn was running 2 turbines.&amp;nbsp; Most of the bass down here in the south are conditioned to feeding when there is current.&amp;nbsp; With all that current I thought it was going provide an excellent opportunity to get some good bites.&amp;nbsp; It was also supposed to be partly cloudy.&amp;nbsp; Perfect.&amp;nbsp; Air temperature was in the mid 60&#8217;s and water temperature was in the mid 50&#8217;s.&amp;nbsp; Things are looking really great for a good day of fishing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I wasn&#8217;t counting on was the 50 mph winds and two foot waves.&amp;nbsp; Somehow the weather channel missed the expected wind speeds for the day.&amp;nbsp; Well, maybe the winds weren&#8217;t exactly 50, but it sure seemed like it.&amp;nbsp; But the two foot waves are pretty accurate.&amp;nbsp; If I let the boat gets sideways to the wind and waves, the waves would break over the side of the boat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, due to the lack of adequate fishing opportunity, I was able spend a lot of time on reconnaissance.&amp;nbsp; I was able to check out a lot spots that I had wanted to look at, go over them with the Lowrance Structure Scan and mark some really promising way points.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So it wasn&#8217;t a totally wasted day.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Closed bass season&#45; a Michigan DNR head scratcher</title>
      <link>http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/11052/</link>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;So I&#8217;m looking at the seasons for different fish here in Michigan. Sadly, bass season is closed. But hey, walleye and pike are still open.&amp;nbsp; I was thinking I could go down to the river and try out my new bps extreme reel (here tomorrow according to fedex ) as it is supposed to be in the 40&#8217;s this weekend. I wanted to keep it simple like grubs, cleos, and Kastmaster on 12Lb XL.&amp;nbsp; Now, what&#8217;s to keep a smallie from taking my bait? Suppose I were to catch a river slonch?&amp;nbsp; Can I take it&#8217;s pic and put it back, or would that give the impression of targeting bass? I think closed bass seasons are lame.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Well I usually hit Lake Toho this time of year, but this year I am headed to Marco Island Feb 4th with some buddies for 4 days of golf in that area.&amp;nbsp; There is an area just south of Marco called TenThousand Islands that has some superb fishing for Snook and Redfish.&amp;nbsp; I saw a show on it the other day.&amp;nbsp; Has anyone on this board ever fished there ?&amp;nbsp; If so&#8230;.when are these fish in prime time activity ?&amp;nbsp; Can you suggest a good guide as I won&#8217;t have a boat&#8230;.just maybe a St Croix and a baitcaster.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any help would be appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
