Inland Waterway Bass Fishing Closure Defeated

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:30:12 +0000

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / Re: Lithium Battery Chargers

Last post by djkimmel - July 11, 2024, 07:02:29 AM

That's what I keep hearing. Guys talking about running 3 days between charges! It's almost to good to be true, but I trust well some of the anglers reporting this. Also found out my friend Shaun Boggs is a manager for Millertech now I trust Shaun. He's always been a straight shooter!

Well, thanks for noting that and your kind compliments. Bryan is a good friend. We've fished a few times together luckily. He is an expert angler!

I was honored and blushed when Jeff Nedwick asked me about the article. Thanks for the link to the summary. I expected it to only be online for subscribers.

Last post by djkimmel - July 11, 2024, 06:52:56 AM

That sounds exciting for you! I know there are a few books out there by divers about Great Lakes, and even Lake Erie, shipwrecks that can be interesting and valuable resources. I've fished a few and dropped video on them though more in St. Clair and other places than Erie.

Question: My automatic video embedder does not have code for Rumble. Do they by any chance have embed code where you could show the video right here? Or maybe you're prefer not to do that? Not a big deal. Just wondering. Thanks!

Bass Fishing Inland Lakes & Rivers / Re: Lake Skegemog

Last post by djkimmel - July 11, 2024, 06:40:48 AM

Now, I haven't been up there in quite a while, but Torch in the summer at the south end has been a 'party' lake for as long as I've fished up there, while Skegemog is more of a 'fishing' lake. There's boat traffic during the summer on the weekend, but not the swarms like Torch.

The fun-lovers like the crystal clear water in Torch. Not so much the wood-stained water in Skeg. You should enjoy it though the fishing may be a little tougher in the summer. Of course, there's Elk Lake too. A few good summer spots out there.

If you go, how about a fishing report when you're done? Thanks, Dan

Bass Fishing Inland Lakes & Rivers / Lake Skegemog

Last post by the dirty musky II - July 06, 2024, 10:54:20 AM

Hey gang, does anyone know if Skegemog gets over run with jet boats and wake board people like Torch does during summer time?
new Bass boat this year, new bass fisherman here as well. (also musky hunter) Any help greatly appreciated. Wifey and I are looking for some fishing lakes with less craziness.
THANKS!

Last post by Bigbass201 - July 05, 2024, 05:18:21 AM

Who still uses their side scan fairly regularly?  I had it on my old boat, then when I got my fiberglass Ranger it didn't come with it.  I didn't replace it for several years.  I finally got it back on my boat I got in the fall.  Man, I didn't realize how much I missed it until I put back on this boat.  I was scouting around Lake Erie and came across a couple old wrecks on the bottom that I never knew were there.  I had my ice fishing camera with me, and I was able to drop that down as well and get a decent look at it with the fish around it.  I have to say it was my highlight of fishing year so far.  I think I enjoy finding something new to fish as much as catching a big one sometimes.  This spot did hold good smallmouth too.

Indiana Bass Fishing Reports / Indiana Fishing Adventure

Last post by Bigbass201 - June 14, 2024, 07:58:53 AM

My buddy Jim and I adventured into some of my old stomping grounds in Indiana a couple weeks ago.  It ended up being quite the adventure with some decent catches along the way.

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / I came across article on Dan

Last post by Bigbass201 - May 25, 2024, 07:11:49 AM

Dan, I came across this article that featured you this week.  It's too bad they didn't mention your forum here.  It could use a little boost. Thanks for all you have done for sport of bass fishing in Michigan.  I remember Bryan Plenzler telling me about some things you were doing decades ago.
