live in mid Michigan

Richard... sounds like you had a nice summer with all those gills .

tough time ice fishing in Michigan this season due to unpredictable weather and thin ice conditions .

Wow 14 inch plus Perch nice!

thanks on the walleye... I usually don't target them catch them accidentally fishing for crappie bluegills and smallmouth bass

sounds like a nice time on Kent lake

Nice hearing from you Richard ... good luck on the rest of the ice fishing season

Richard.  I too have just joined up with Ken, and look forward to picking his and others brains on this subject.  It is one that I use now, and really enjoy my gill fishing more.  It has been many years since I was up in Gaylord, having one of the famous "Wet Burittos" at the local bar up there.  Always wanted to fish the Au Sauble river there in Grayling also.
