Chris,
Just had a chance to get back on the computer after some hectic work. I was reading your post about Ford River, and you nailed it. Its not about how many you can catch its about the fun you have while on the water. I read the reports everyday for the year I was deployed. I not only read this one, but also Saginaw Bay, The Sall-Mars, Walleye First, and Walleye Central. When the days where rough, and I assure there where many the postings by you and all of the other fisherman gave me a chance to separate myself from all of the stuff that was going on even if it was just for a few moments of time. The family and I had a great time while we where up. The walleyes didnt cooperate very well but the small mouths in the big bay did. I have so many pictures that I can look at for many years to come. My son Jackson asks me everyday when are we going back. It maybe another year before we can get back again, but each and everyone that reads this post needs to understand that you live and fish in an area that many others can only dream about. I hate to see and read about people that call themselves sportsman fight over simple stuff like how many fish are kept or giving out to much information about certain fishing spots. Everyone needs to realize that there are bigger things in life to worry about. For example my sister battalion here at FT Bragg lost 10 heros in the last 2 weeks to IEDs in Afganistain. So like my 1st platoon sergeant told me many years ago "Keep it simple Sapper". Thanks for all you do, and I look forward to reading your post for many years to come.
