Capt.:

Beautiful!  (There has to be a bass lurking up by that far bank.)

Capt,

I could sit there for hours on your dock.

Some time after a blizzard, it would be fun to see how things look then.

I also go to northern Michigan and, to tell the truth, enjoy the winter more than summer.  The snow is absolutely stunning in the woods.

As long as we don't have to drive in the stuff, everything is just perfectly fine.

A few weeks ago, we saw two eagles on the ice eating their catch.  I often see them flying by, but this was the first time they had landed.  My wife was pretty excited because she had never seen them.

Thanks for the picture.  Please post more when you can.

Indeed Capt - beaut' picture.  Thank you.

I cannot help wondering tho if by early evening on that deck - the skeeters get a bit hungry!!

CaptBW,

Very nice..Reminds me of a very small lake near me!!

If this was from last season,looks like you had enough water to float your boat!!

I know of people around my area that had to take their craft to public launches to get in..

Hopefully there will be a bit more water this year..

Again,nice pics,and makes me a little bit tired of the snow we have at the moment!!

Looks very relaxing - water is so special in our lives - wished I lived by a lake, or ocean, as some of you do.

That from a man who lives in one of the most beautiful spots in the world, where deer sleep by his garage and wild turkeys wander through his yard at dawn.

Here is another shot.  The water is down about a foot at the end of the summer.  Yes, there are bass lurking over in the corner.

[R9SCarry]

OMG!!  Even better!  Staggering and oh so idyllic.

I'll bet not just Bass anyways - but bluegills, crappies - the whole enchelada!!!

Thx Capt - you make me very envious.

I was fortunate where we lived before to have the use of a very large pond - maybe a quarter that size - but lots of fishing and - the whole spread was 430 acres - heaven in hunting season.  Sadly then we rented and, wanting our own place left there.  I do miss it - may even have some pics somewhere.

Looks like there is room in the boat for the both of us - I'll paddle and you can fish.
Dave

[R9SCarry]

Ok - gotta let you see these - oh my the nostalgia!!  We left this place in 2002 and I still miss it - you can maybe see why!  We might have stayed and tried to buy but the landlord was such a crook - we did not want to risk it!!

Many an evening I fished that pond (some good large mouth) and also walked the whole area, often with a gun or two. These were fall pics - late fall 01 so leaves gone sadly.  I had already got most of my logs cut and stacked.

I would miss it also.

Dave:

Sounds good!  I'll get my tackle together.  


Chris:

I know some guys in West Africa who are looking for work and would be willing to have a "talk" with that landlord.  

[theirishguard]

Chris, what a place, thanks for the pictures. Is there a real estate attorney you could hire to keep everything legal and good?

Tom - it is history now sadly.  

The landlord was someone who I just would not wish to deal with under any circumstances. ''Crook'' maybe is a bit strong but I can use the word ''odious'' - as in makes your skin crawl!

I am very content with what we have now - just very fond memories of the times at the ''old place''.  I can't have everything and surveying my plusses, have still good reason to feel content and blessed.

I had thought Richard of ''someone to talk to him''  Tempting it was
