You have the Day off and you want to FISH THE GRAND RIVER!!!! In Grand Rapids, Michigan!!!!!

March 22nd, 2010 |

You called in Sick because you have been hearing about everyone catching allot of fish in the Grand River. You pick your buddy up in the morning and launch at 6 st. on the east side boat launch. And you are so dam excited you are about ready to just lay the Smack Down on um!!!!! You get there super early to get the first spot up by the dam and you pull really close to the dam to try to get your anchor to hold. And you have dam near 100 pounds on the end of your anchor rope just to get you to stay put. You finally get settled in and you shut your motor down. And it’s 6 in the morning, still dark out. You throw in a few times and you hear a Big SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!! A HUGE TREE JUST CAME OVER THE DAM AND IT’S COMING RIGHT AT YOU AND BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN REAL YOUR LINE IN THAT TREE IS CAUGHT ON YOUR ANCHOR ROPE AND ITS TAKING THE FRONT OF YOUR BOAT UNDER WATER!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU DO???!!!??? CUT YOUR ANCHOR ROPE!!!!!!!! ARE YOU READY????? aRE YOU READY TO REACT IN 3 SEC???? BECAUSE IN 1 SEC A TREE CAN COME OVER THAT DAM AND SWALLOW YOU AND YOUR BOAT!!!!!

Do you have a knife ready?? Is your knife ready to get grabbed and cut your anchor rope to save you and your buddys lives? And do you have a spare rope with a spare anchor to hold you incase your motor didnt start so you dont go over the coffer dam and flip your Boat? Do you have a pair of oars in your boat so if your spare anchor doesnt grab hold, you are able to ROW down the west side shoot of the coffer dams?

I have known a few guys that where fishing the grand and they where 150 yards away from the dam. Tree came over the dam and came there way. people where yelling at um to get out of the way and they took there time and before they got there anchor rope up the tree was already sliding there boat back. Then the anchor caught and the tree took the front of there boat down and flipped there boat. that force of the river WILL KILL YOU point blank!!! Something to think about next time your on the “GRAND” River.
