Opened the Five Orr's today

Hi folks, well even with the cold temps & high winds today I open up the Five Orr's. I was really surprised how clean the inside of the boat was from not storing her at East Chicago marina!! Ill start putting on the equipment and get her ready to splash next week for the run to her new home port at Hammond marina. Hopefully the weather will start to get a little warmer so we all can get in on some of the great Salmon & Trout action on the south end of Lake Michigan! Please keep Safety First! Fish On! Capt. Mike

Out Of Hammond Marina

Hi Folks,
After helping to dig out my family from yesterday's 10"+ snow storm. I went out to the lake front by Hammond Marina to see what the storm pushed in. Well as far as I can see there is about a two to three mile strech of PACK ICE on... the lake and the harbor mouth is socked in with ice as well! No Coho fishing yet until the ice is off the lake!! Also an FYI: My web site has been updated to show that I am now out of Hammond Marina! The Stallsmith's (my web master) of The Technological Edge did an Outstanding Job!! on my site, so look them up for all your internet consulting & web design needs(www.TheTechnologicalEdege.com)!!

God Bless

Hello All,

Just an FYI: I have moved my operations to Hammond Marina!!

A great fishing port with outstanding services.

To all of you that have contacted me about my web site that still is showing East Chicago marina (AKA Pastrick marina).

I have talk to my web master and they are in the process of upgrading and making changes to it so it will show my NEW location out of Hammond Marina!

Hopefuly next week we are going to open up the Five Orr's. And start to get her ready for the spring fishing season! But like always the weather is going to play a big factor in when she will go in to her new home port at Hammond Marina!

I would like to thank all the great people that I talked to at the Cabelas Outdoor weekend.
There were a lot of good questions asked during and after my seminar!

I look forwrd to seeing you on the lake.

Always keep SAFETY FIRST!!
