I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

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.

Just curious whare everyone is fishing this weekend. There seems to be a lot of options out there. Normally I would be at the Top Bass opener but I'm taking a bit of a hiatus from tournament fishing this summer.

Belleville Friday & Saturday with FOM.

Then Tuesday at Belleville with BBC.

Then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday following at Saginaw bay for the FOM open and the SBBB open.

I know you didn't ask for an itinerary, but I'm just tickled at all the fishing I get to do in a week.   ;D

BTW- Nemesis teams rule.

I will not be fishing any tournaments opening weekend.  Since the state has let inland lake associations have their way with cash and weed kill, I tend to head to St. Clair and Erie more often.  I do fish some inland lake tournaments, however not as much as in the past.  On Saturday and Sunday this weekend I will be on St. Clair one day and Erie the other.  On Monday Memorial Day, I will probably head back out to St. Clair.  This year I will probably fish the NBAA One on One Series and of course some of my club tournaments as well as an occasional week night NBAA.  Although those are mostly inland, it only amounts to about a dozen or so and I usually fish over 100 days a year.  My club fishes mostly on St. Clair and Erie.  I will also be fishing the annual Father/Daughter Tournament that Avid Anglers puts on every year on Father's Day.  My daughter and I always enjoy that one.

Finally Tourney Season is here! ;D

I will be @ Kent Sunday, Oakland Basmasters puts on a great show every year, imo.

With only 3 hours of prefishing this year on Kent, I predict a day of "junk" fishing (senko, traps, jerkbaits, swimbaits, jigs, dropshot, etc) My front deck is going to be full o' rods... (John please don't step on them ;))

Looking forward to seeing you all out there this year...

Good luck to all,
Duane

NOTHING!!!! no boat and I live away from most tourney's :( man I need to move and get a boat...have fun and be safe all!

NBAA on Pontiac Lake...The wife asked if I'd take her fishing on Sunday before I head up to Houghton on monday.  Maybe I can trick her into fishing the Kent tournament.

I have no tournament plans as of yet but thinking about fishing the BBT open on Muskegon Monday. I am looking for a boater that is willing to make a long run. I plan on checking on some fish tomorrow to know for sure if it will be worth it. So if there are any boaters out there that still have monday open and it sounds like something you might want to do shoot me a PM. Of course this is only a go depending on the weather report and what I find tomorrow.

FISH HARD!!!

Nothing this weekend (staying home with the fam - brownie points for the rest of the summer ;)). Heading to Houghton Lake, Tuesday morning to pre-fish. Fishing the NBAA "Red" division championship (as a sub) on Wednesday.

Long run.................Lake Michigan................man you better have something good and hope the weather is perfect.  Or maybe you can just find someone who ain't very bright who will make the run with you.    8)

If the winning fish are in Lake Michigan then you go get them.    I don't think taking a ride in Lake Michiagn means "you're not very bright".    I think it's a great idea.     

Last time I launched at the Grand River I had to make a 20+ mile run in Lake Michigan to get to my fish.     Did the same thing in Saginaw Bay a couple years ago with waves coming over the tip of my Ranger 520 while it was standing straight up!    Scared..?  Yep!   But you got to get the fish!     Took 3rd & big bass that day........only had 2 hours fishing time.     

It can be done......
