Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

I have been gone for a couple weeks and am getting ready to leave for two more and was wondering if the freeze out is on for this year and what date for sure. Sure hope for early bite on Mullet but wife can't miss the Halloween weekend. Hey Dan we missed you the last couple years, it not the same without all the guys of the past years.                                                                     

I heard the Freeze out was on Saturday Oct. 8th this year. 50 dollars per person or 100 per boat. I think it starts at the DNR launch on the tobacco side. Show up at 6:30 am to pay and I believe take off is at 7

I made a mistake..Show up at 6am to pay

Does anyone know the winning weight for this tournament?

7 fish for 24.1 pounds

How did the rest of the guys do? Did many limits come to the scales?

Thanks for the info.  That is a good bag.

1st  24lb 1oz

2nd  22lb 14oz

3rd  20lb 14oz

4th 20lb 9oz

5th 19lb 1oz

6th 18lb 13oz

big largemouth 5lb 12oz

big smallmouth 4lb 12oz

Is anyone willing to provide information on where these huge smallies are coming from on Wixom Lake?  I have only caught a couple of smaller smallies.  Each tournament I see big smallies.
