Title: What is the scoop on MI bass fishing?
Post by: bigjc on April 22, 2013, 07:33:37 PM
Gentlemen,

Has anyone ventured out to find any smallies yet?  This beautiful afternoon (and a weekend of Dale Hollow fishing) has me thinking about chasing smallies. ;D

You can in Ohio.  And Indiana.  And Missouri.  And Arkansas.  And Illinois.  And every other state with a sense of what bass "seasons" actually do for the bass, which is nothing.

Caught quite a few in Arkansas and Missouri a couple weeks ago.

I'm not sure if I will get out this weekend or not, but that will be my first opportunity to see what is going on.

LOL...you crack me up!  It is legal to target bluegill and/or pike isn't it?

Pike fishing is open all year on St. Clair and the Lower Peninsula Great Lakes. I won't go into all the exceptions but reading and rereading the latest Michigan fishing guide is highly recommended! www.Michigan.gov/fishingguide
