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.

Wendy,

For you and Terry take 31 south to the Fruitvale Rd exit.  Go west on Fruitvale to the stop sign at Water St and turn left.  Take Water St all the way to the ramp.  Water St dead ends into the launch.

Dan, I really hate to do this to you. My son has been diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis, he had a 102.8 fever a couple days ago and although the fever has broke he still has the other unpleasant symptoms. I was hoping he would be cleared up by now, but it is not looking good. I am more than likely not going to be able to make it, so you should not plan on it. If by chance he makes a miraculous recovery I will be there, but I do not want to screw up the boater/non draw. Sorry for the short notice & I hope everyone has a good time.

djkimmel

Sorry to hear that fowlmouth. I hope he gets better fast. We'll miss having you there.

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.

see you guys sunday morning or saturday. i should be rolling in around noon on saturday get lunch, fish a little, get some beers and dinner. let me know if you want to tag along saturday.
ok so who am i fishing with on sunday? i see madwags, and then jason-madwags. madwags is on the non-boater list twice. can madwags fish from two boats at once (that would be a nice trick) :o?

djkimmel

I'm not sure... but he may be able to do that?!? MadWags is the uncle and Jason-madwags is the nephew. They used to share the MadWags name, but I made them split it out... too confusing ;D

bob o,

I will be busy most of the day on Saturday but I think I'm free in the evening.  Do you have any idea where you are going for dinner?  I would guess you don't yet.  I can PM you or anyone else on GLB my cell number and you can give me a call in sometime on Saturday and I will probably be able to meet you and who ever else for a couple drinks and some food.  Let me know.

I have never been into any of those places so I don't have an opinion.  While you are hanging out in Whitehall you could check them out and pick the one you like best.  Muskegon is also an option it is only about 15 minutes south of Whitehall and has a lot more options for food and beer.

You are fishing with one of three anglers that have doubled up in the DK opens.
You will most likely finish in the top 10. hehehe
I on the other hand am fishing with hubby. We are a lock for the.......well.........two old guys in a boat award.

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

   Hey Madwags... the Uncle......  You may be fishing with the "Hubby" but Terry is 1st class all the way !!!

Unfortunately just lost another boater due to engine break down. I'll check with a couple of you tomorrow evening about doubling up one more boat.

Hey Dan,  if it's ok with Madwags I'll just fish with him and Terry,  that way you don't have to do any major changes,  our boat is big enough and I comfortable fishing either in the back or up front with Terry.  So if it's ok wiht Madwags we can just do that and no major changes have to be made. 

Let me know.

Dang Wendy, I was hoping to get your fishing expertise in my boat !!!  Awwwww mine's only a 19 footer.  Bet we could do it though.  :)

spinninbug

Bet we could too.  But I've never fished there before soooo  who knows.  Thanks Jeff!  See you tomorrow!!  :)

That works for me - thanks. MadWags won't mind. There are one or two other possibilities, but we'll see at the ramp. Maybe one more boat coming. Maybe?

Today was my first DK Open and I just wanted to tell everyone that I had a great time. It was great to be able to put a name with a face. Congrats to Don for winning! Thanks to everyone especially Dan for putting it on.
