My hunting partner pulled me kicking and screaming on my first trip, and I've never looked back. My wife actually told me that "If this is the way you're going come home after a trip, then you're going to go every year". I guess I had some issues with anger that washed away hunting in the water.
Thanks Bigscoop

Pics are mostly of Lake superior. Lots of sand, very cold water and not a single find. Last pic is Lake Michigan, same story warmer water.

Those are my old stomping grounds.....I love the area.
It's a must see for sure.

The Ojibwe call the lake (Superior) Gichigami, meaning "big water." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the name as "Gitche Gumee" in The Song of Hiawatha. "The first French explorers approaching the great inland sea by way of the Ottawa River and Lake Huron during the 17th century referred to their discovery as le lac superieur. Properly translated, the expression means "Upper Lake," U.P eh? that is, the lake above Lake Huron. The lake was also called Lac Tracy by 17th century Jesuit missionaries." The English, upon taking control of the region from the French in the 1760's, following the French and Indian War, anglicized the lake's name to Superior, "on account of its being superior in magnitude to any of the lakes on that vast continent."
