The columns are sorted into open to the public and what's reserved for our private message board members. At one time, all articles were all open, then copy and paste pirates started stealing my intellectual properties, or as I'd normally say, "my stuff."

All in all, I'm not very intellectual, if I was? I'd have never spent of 20 years in the charter and guide business. However, when you write an article that turns out pretty good, or take a great photo only to have thieves steal your original website content, it's bound to tick you off. Locking down what was formally open to the public, was a measure that was forced upon me by less inspired villains with absolutely no regard for copyright laws.

Special Event: Kingfish Challenge, 6/7/08 Saginaw Bay Walleye Outing. This is a free event for message board members. This is not a hardcore tournament, but more like a learning experience. Bob K (Getaway) and Capt. Paul Vantol will be doing free Walleye seminars Friday evening prior to Saturday's fishing. Walleye fry after fishing is done at Getaway's place in Bay City, MI. More details will be posted on our message board.
