Thread: Uncle Don's coffeehouse 2018

I tried a canal south of Hastings Monday. It was still mostly skimmed over with ice, no bites. Anybody going to Saginaw for the last day?

I’ll bet it’s gonna be a zoo up there today Jerry.

I bet you're right. All that for a walleye? Not like it's bluegills or perch.

One of my regular customers called me last night. One of her friends lost her husband recently and she is ready to sell his hunting, fishing and tool collection. I'm going over shortly to see what she has. The rest will be sold in April at some sort of garage sale. Hopefully I can give her an idea what kind of a price to put on things.

Very good Jerry. It is always nice when a grieving person can look to someone with knowledge of something to ensure they get a good price for a piece of gear they know nothing about. Too many people out there try to take advantage of the situation because they understand that the person selling something isn't knowledgable of it.

I was eating a batch of perch last night whilst thinking: Hmmmm, I'm almost out of perch which gives me an excuse to take off at the first hint of them coming to my favorite haunts. I have to stock up to ensure I can make it until the fall run which then lasts me through the winter.

As for Saginaw, I heard it was a mess yesterday. I can only imaging how busy it will be today. Which leads me on to why I look for out of the way places that nobody fishes, I stay away from the pack, and I tend to launch at less than popular areas. My fishing is done for my enjoyment. Too many people get irritated because they cannot control what other idiots do. They are upset when they are trolling without looking, having the "it's all about me" attitude, They will move before I do, or it is all about the fastest you can get to the dock. Once I'm there, screw you, I'll do what I want.

I cannot control those people, so, for my own sanity, I choose to stay away from them. In the beginning, I saw it as fishing less than desirable areas. Soon, it became appearent that I was actually doing a heck of a lot better than all of them. Amazing what you can learn when you get older! I don't need that stress in my life. I fish to avoid it!

I'll take a mess of perch over walleye any day. I like to eat walleye but I like perch, gills and pike better. Wish I had enough boat to hit the Erie fall perch run but, alas, I don't. I'll have to stick to White Lake or the smallish Morrison Lake perch.

Now that you have told me, I'll be sure to invite you when we go!!! Love having a bunch of guys in the boat perch fishing. Walleye, not so much but perch, it is fun.

FYI: we will be fishing Muskegon ASAP. I'll let you know when we go. We WILL have room for you! Steve will probably go anyway so you could always put on your hazmat suit and get in with him ORRR, feel free to get in my boat with dirty boots, spill wigglers, worm dirt, nasty minnows, cheeze it crackers, and tobacco juice on the floor. Then grind it in over the course of a day. Eventually, I take someone fishing with the payment of "Cleaning" my boat when we are done! Just hope you arn't "That guy"!

Anyone is welcome in my boat EXCEPT Lee aka Capt. Sinkie.
