This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

I am planning on going over from the Grand Rapids area and may be going by myself if the wife doesn't want to go for the weekend.

Bill,

I will be heading that way from Fowlerville. If it doesn't work out with Dan let me know.

The correct bump board is a Golden Rule Weigh Master GG-51 Large Mouth Bass Bump Board, according to a post by Anthony on the ABA forum.

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

I'm coming out of Laingsburg (Haslett/Perry/Owosso area) on the morning of, in case anyone needs a ride.

Hey Bill,
I can meet up with you and/or Willy at the park and ride there on D-19 and I-96 if you would like. 

I can even drive for a change.

She's shy, but she needs some new fishing friends to get out - helps if you like Bill Dance (her hero) :)

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.

Hey Dan, what's the count look like, so far? 

djkimmel

I will post a tentative list of boaters and nonboaters with an initial draw late tonight. Sounds like there might be 2 or 3 more coming in yet.

Count me in Dan! Just re-arranged my schedule and can now make it. let me know if I need to buy a board.

TCook

I been telling myself not to fish the DK open because of the drive distance for me, but its too tempting. This sounds like it will be a blast, I would get the chance too meet all of you guys and fish my favorite lake in michigan. So if there is still some spots open you can count me in as a non-boater. Is there anyone fishing the DK open from southwest MI that would want to carpool? Dan let me know if I can still get in.

Tim C
FISH HARD!!!

Dan

Hoping to drive over from Grand Rapids area if that is southwest enough.
