Been there done that, took a new sump pump and shop vac to get the water out. Chances are it went out sooner you just didn't need it until all the rain hit. Sorry buddy, hope to see you at early bird too. Buy you a beer for the spot you gave me last year at PIB.

I am all too familiar with sump pump failures and basement floods. I know how it feels, that blows, sorry.

Got the pipe thawed today. Dug it out of the snow, the warm weather the last couple days was just enough to free it up. Put another pump in to get rid of the rest of the water.

Looking to hit Erie up a few times this summer. Anyone want to give me the low down on what's hot and what's not. Also the best place to put in. I'll be coming up from north of Pittsburgh. And BTW nice photos.

all the islands r a must see. it all depends on what u like middle bass only has one bar that is nice but quiet. nice marina owned by the state park. pib is fun but not for us its more on the collage wild side but has a lot of bars and I know a lot of people that love it there, we go about once or twice a year. then there is kelleys where we love we dock at the casino and say a lot. bigger offshore crowed and more layed back but all good people and most r regulars. if u come r way let us know there r a bunch of us that will show u around. let us know the dates u r thinking and we will let u know whats up around that time. there is also places to hang out and swim we like the north side of kelleys the water is clean and clear and there is the sand bar in the Sandusky bay the water is murky but always a big turn out of boats.

You should come in August an do the Buffalo NY Poker Run. This way you get to run the Niagara River and Lake Erie.

Thanks for the replies. I'll hit you guys up on here once spring/summer hits. That'd be awesome for someone to show me around. I hate not knowing where I'm at on the water.
