Thread: Michigan Spring camp 2023

Our camp is a wrap for 2023. Good food, many laughs and good times on the water. Friday nights Liar's club kicked off the weekend. Spartannation smoked a great pork shoulder and everyone brought a dish to pass. A few stories were told and information shared as we got ready for Saturday and the opportunity to take Wilbur home this year.

We were honored to have "D", his wife Mae, his nephew John and wife up from Louisiana. Unfortunately, the weather in Michigan was pretty cool for our friends from the south and may have taken them by surprise. Slab sent up Tree tea oil pens for everyone but with the cold fortunately/unfortunately we didn't have any issues with bugs. But it's Michigan and it will be buggy before long. Thanks Slab.
As Saturday dawned, everyone headed out for our friendly 5 fish competition for the traveling trophy Wilbur.




I had the opportunity to get "D" in the boat with Spartannation and I. We had a lot of laughs and even caught a few fish. "D" even caught fish!

He also caught a nice yellow perch and some crappie

Danny definitely didn't come prepared for being on the water in the cold and there may be a blue trash can story out there for Sparty to share. After a day on the water everyone returned for a fish fry and potluck. Thanks Sparty for doing the frying and to everyone who brought all that wonderful food. After we ate we weighed fish.

Steel guy (John) became the keeper of Wilbur for the year.

Congrats John.
Even Danny weighed five fish!!

A quick thanks to Tonda for donating some beautiful pieces from her Etsy shop, Country Rock Creations given to the high placers in the contest.

Thanks to all who attended including first time attendees DWB Wayne, his wife Sandy and son Jason. Glad you made it and hope to see you and everyone else again next year!
