We wanted to go up to Harrisville state campground a day early, but rain was in the forecast afternoon and throughout the night. we decided to get a room at the Bay Inn in Tawas. Here we are 10:30 and zero rain. Having a great time though. We went to the shopping/dinning part of Tawas and ate at Barnacle Bills and the food was great. Came back to the hotel and decided to hit the indoor pool/ hot tub with a few cold ones. Who did we hang with? A very cool couple in their late 40's from Lapeer lol. He is a potato farmer and she is here on business (retail vendor). They were pretty cool, but were further in their drinking than us so went ninight. We are off to a bar down the road so my plans for early surf fishing aren't gonna happen, but we leave at 11am for Harrisville and then I just have to walk 100 yards from the tent to the big lake to fish. Hope I catch something. If I get anything good I'll text a pic to Troy to post here because I won't have internet in the campground. Hope all is well with everyone. One night out with the lady and then I have time to fish while she sleeps in at the campground. Will also try night fishing. That should be fun since I got up here and found my headlamp that you all have seen me ice fish with quit working.

Good luck bro, have fun. Hit the breakwall in Au Gres at night and you and the little lady can catch all the channel cats you want, plus maybe a few walleye to boot.

We just got back and now I have to leave and go to Grandpa's. I'm whipped! As for the fishing, I got up at 5 and was in the water by 5:30 and the waders leaked awful. I did manage to snag a rock and lose a Cleo spoon before I called it quits. Harrisville state campground is our new favorite so far. The lots were great and there are cedar trees inbetween lots and they let the weeds grow up under them so you have some privacy. We had two different people tell us they camped on our lot laast year and tried getting it again. It was a nice lot, but I have a suggestion for state campgrounds........... NO trainingwheels allowed on bikes in the campground! Everytime we go there is one or two little kids with trainingwheels on their bikes that have crappy parents that allow them to ride at 8 am or even earlier. Not much sleeping going on in state camprounds. I think that is rude the parents allow them to ride so early because those trainingwheels are so loud. Other than that, everything was great.
