Hey - I went to Ferris...
It has changed so much since I went there - the whole area by 131 was totally undeveloped. We used to go fishing on the Muskegon river all the time for steelhead and walleye. And then all the state land nearby for hunting - we used to live year round on venison. Ahh those were the times.

Carpmaster....I have many stories of the beers and shooters at FSU. You still in the area? I did a 6 yr stint in AK and moved back to MI - unfortunately I am in SE Michigan now - it is a 2-3 hour drive for me to get where the fishin is good. The hunting isn't bad IF you have private land or know someone with it... I let my lease go on 40 acres I hunted - so I've been limited to public land the past couple years...

Small world - my father lives in Spring Lake (has since 1965). I grew up in Grand Rapids with my mom and sisters, but we spent many weekends and summers in Spring Lake and Grand Haven visiting my dad and bumming around. There are some beautiful sites near the beach - not to mention the Grand River and its bayous offer great fishing.

Just curious... Is Carl's Knotty Pine Bar still there and Cott's General store?
I use to be in the Knotty Pine daily while my Grandpa played cribbage against this old guy named Zip.... You ever heard of the DeBackers?? Largest tater farmers in those parts. The memories, the memories....

It's now Gary's Knotty Pine (since 2004) and it's going strong. They still offer up the free Thanksgiving dinner every year - great place for fish fry or burger and beer.
It's LaPalme's store now; they're a check station during bear season. That place may be up for sale
I'm familiar with DeBackers and VanDammes potato farms as their kids went to Gwinn schools. Them tater fed deer grow big!

I generally head north to the Copper Country, but my success down your way has me reconsidering......
