As others have said Torch is awesome! Problem is, once you go to Torch not too much compares after that!

So, 2 yrs ago when i went to Torch...it was a bad day for the weather. cold, rainy, and very windy! Let's say it's the complete opposite of that and nice and hot out...do you see much skin at the sand bar?!?!?!?! here's why i ask, i'm 27 frickin years old and i'm not gettin any younger guys! LOL what's it got to offer me if i drive the 1.5 hours down there???

Not to mention beautiful water and plenty of room to blow the cobwebs out! I usually find some good runs there.

yea, you knew what i meant by "skin"! LOL. I'm not sure if i'll make the run down there, or just stay up on my home waters of Lake Charlevoix. I guess i'll just wait and see what the weather is doing and how I feel the morning of. If anyone's coming up to Lk. Char, let me know!

Torch seems to be calmer because the wind often comes out of the west south/west and the west side is high enough to protect the lake somewhat. Hardy pond is about the only place I see STV's running on a regular basis because if its rough out you can go up river and race/run and if its calm out you can run from one ernd to the other (I see the stv's come out in the evening once the water lays down) Smitty
