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.

My buddy Justin and I headed out to Lake Michigan today to try and best our 24 lbs 11oz sack, our biggest 10 that day went 42 lbs 14oz, we caught in September. The day started out in misery as it was freezing, windy, and the waves were big. We caught a few on a blade in the middle of our favorite spot and about 10 on soft plastics off a rock pile. Despite losing 2 fish that were probably over 5 we still finished the day with 21 lbs 11 oz. If it hadn't been windy and we would have been able to fish for longer than 2 hours I think we would have topped it. Too bad we couldn't beat the 24.11 but there's always next year. I can't figure out how to insert a picture but this is the link to the image on his site http://www.southwestmichiganbass.com/localfishingreport.htm

There are a couple video help titles on the forum under General Questions and Support down at the bottom here.

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.
Unless clearly stated as such, opinions expressed by Dan Kimmel on this forum are not the opinions or policies of The Bass Federation of Michigan.
