Re: Southwest Michigan anyone??

I'm in Dorr.

I grew up on Gun Lake.

Currently I boat all around the area. We tend to enjoy mostly just cruising as a family.

We boat out of Saugatuck, Holland or Grand Haven if we are in the mood for the big lake. Otherwise we are on Gun Lake or trailer up north to some other lakes. If I ever get my boat put back together I will be checking out a lot of the smaller lakes in my area. I'm also looking for a smaller outboard boat to explore some of the rivers in the area.

I guess I should have posted that I am from Portage MI down by Kalamazoo!

Well, I'm only about 45 miles North of you.

Where do you boat?

Grand River... UPSTREAM of Grand Rapids. Actually, I launch at Riverside Park at the north launch (Near the Veteran's home). Otherwise, Wabasis Lake. In both cases, I mostly fish. In the river, I only fish, and I do not eat anything (except Lake Michigan run Salmon and Steelhead).

Marshall Michigan here, Duck Lake, Brace Lake and a few others. I work Portage at Pfizer, been wanting to drag my boat over there and hit some of those lakes.

Heading to Houghton Lake tomorrow morning for a long weekend. :D

Born and raised in Jackson, now live in Grass Lake. My boat stays at a family cottage on Little Wolf lake and I spend most of my time between little wolf and big wolf. I just can't seem to find the time to take the boat anywhere else this summer. Had a bad experience on Lake Huron last summer though.:(
