Hi, I'm Tony. I live near Grand Rapids. If I could sell everything I ever bought for camping, hunting, and fishing for what I paid for it, I could retire. And buy a new boat. But I can't, so I'm going to keep on camping, hunting, and fishing- on a budget.

Welcome, Tony. I hope you find this board to be every bit as vibrant and exciting as I promised. Never a dull moment if you don't count those weeks at a time with no posts at all.

Thanks guys, I'll try to add something pertinent, prescient, and germane at least four times per year, in keeping with the four Michigan seasons that I recognize: Steelhead, Catfish, Walleye, and Whitetail. Everything else is really just waiting anyway, right?
What's the primary interest amongst yous guys on here? Ice fishing? Pan fish? ______ ? If I knew what you care about, I could do a better job passing along info you might be interested in.

I love the river, too. Catfish, walleyes, salmon/steelhead runs, sitting in the boat with a cold one watching the sun go down with no jet skis around, ahhhhh...
Always wanted to to try bowfishing, but was never able to figure out when to go (season, time of day, etc.).
I just bought a project boat. 16' Lund with no outboard or trolling motor. If any of you ever stumble on a truly great deal on a 50-70 HP outboard with controls, or a foot control electric, please give me a shout.
Side note: Michigan Sportsman Forum has been down for close to 48 hours as of 7:50 PM, 10/13/16. How does that even happen?

Hey all, I just went to log in on Chrome. As soon as I clicked "log in", I got rerouted to that "Emergency Chrome Update, Click here now" screen. You know, the one that downloads a virus. Not blaming the site, just trying to warn everyone to watch out.

Never seen that one. Sounds like a virus invitation alright.

I scanned right after that with Malwarebytes and came up clean, so I'm not sure where it came from. Gotta always be on guard for that kind of stuff.

Going to have to hassle my friend again today to sign up. Maybe I should give him another twenty bucks. This could get real confusing if he joins because his name is Chris as well. First time in TBB history I believe. Hope it doesn't crash the system!
