I dont know about northern michigan, but the cost of living in the southern part of the state has gotten so high that most anglers are working 2 jobs just so they can own a fishing and hunting license.[crazy]
Southern michigan at one time was an outdoor wonderland, now it is full of yuppies and rich people who do not relish the attitude of gathering your dinner from nature, (like it came form any where else)[crazy]
there was a time when you would have to take a number to find a place to stand on any river, as a youth there was hardly a day when I would go out when I would not run in to another angler, and our community bulitten board was a hand full of rocking chairs in the local bait shop where the guys gathered and shaired their lies with the store keepers who actualy had time to sit in on the bull slinging.[sly]
them days in my area are long since past, all the big chain stores have flushed out the majority of the mom and pop bait and tackle shops. now if they dont have an angle on the game they cant compete.[
]
strangly enough on top of this there is still some ressistance twards computers here in michigan amonst anglers. but dont fret, it is slowly comming along.[cool]
