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.

Haven't check out Hog Island but I too have heard it is restricted. Just heard a rumor that it was a good early June hot spot.
"Not in the clamor of the crowded streets nor in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but within oneself lies victory or defeat."

I was on a club tournament about 8 years ago when I first got started in tournaments. I had a friend tried to make the run from East Jordan out to Hog island. He was running out and didn't slow down for the bumps on the horizon and ended up filling his boat with water. He said it was all he could do to get turned around and get started back. I was going to try to run out there but, I figured out my boat didn't hold enough gas to make it out and back. That is one time I was glad I only had an 18 foot boat that held 30 gallons of gas.

I don't know how many times on the Great Lakes over the years I've already gotten there and now I'm looking at a loooonnnnggg rough ride back to the trailer that I don't really want to make... At least the fishing seems to make it worth it sometimes...

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
