nah...I hit 3 different spots and never even saw a fish. I talked to a bunch of other guys that were coming up from downstream and none of them saw any either...The St. Joe can be awesome, but on certain days you just cant find the fish, especially from shore!

Yeah. You are limited on a big river bank fishing. So when you mean see them, do you mean porpoising? Or is the st joe that clear?

The St. joe is pretty muddy right now. I was refering to them porpoising. I fished the dowagiac today as well, and it was running pretty clear, I could see the bottom in 4 fow

yeah, it enters the st. joe about 2 miles down stream of downtown niles. They call it a river, but its more of a stream if you ask me...its freezing cold in the summer, and full of brown trout...We float down it on tubes in the summer...it's a pretty drunken time

I really haven't been on much this past week either. I started a new job Moday and Monday was the only day I worked 8 hours, 12 hours every other day. My shift is 5am-1pm, but overtime starts 4 hours early instead of 4 hours late so I go in at 1am. The job is a 45 minute drive one way so once I get home I have about an hour that I relax and eat before I go to bed. I get up at 11pm and start my day. I have no life during the week anymore and have been told to expect overtime every week year round. 56 hours my first week and expected to be working 6 days a week come summer. Can't complain, I have been looking for fulltime work for quite awhile and it's tough right now. Nothing whatsoever in Genesee County, if you live here your options pretty much are drive south 40 minutes minimum or 35 minutes north minimum if you want fulltime work. If I stay with this company for the long haul, I will be buying a cheap 4 banger for work drives since gas is so expensive and we are more than likely looking at another 4 years of it. Hope all is well with everyone and thanks for the laughs you give me at 12:40am when I check in before going into work.

Glad to see your keepin busy at the dildo factory Splash! I use to unload produce at the Meijers warehouse in Lansing and would work from 4:30 am til around noon or one o'clock. Those hours suck but you get use to it. Never did have a social life then, and we would work a rotating schedule so I would only getone Saturday night off per month. Good money though. And the harder and faster you worked, the more you got paid the way the pay system worked out. You ended up getting paid per truck you unloaded. Its a job!
