I'm disappointed to see now that House Natural Resources and Tourism Committee Chair Representative David Martin has added those very bad commercial fishing bills HB 5801 and 5802 to an upcoming committee hearing on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at noon.

The poorly written, damaging to Michigan Sport Fishing commercial fishing bills have been introduced again. State House Bills 5801 and 5802, introduced by Rep. Dave Prestin and Rep. Jason Morgan, have been assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism.

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.

Anyone know what depths guys are fishing the bays. I'm assuming most are dropshotting.

Been fishing local inland lakes up here with limited success.

Thanks

No specifics recently but they are usually anywhere from 15 to 35 feet depending on what part of the bay, clarity, brightness and cover or no cover.

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.

That is a good problem to have! That works on other deep lakes this time year and a little later too like Torch and Charlevoix. Just drive around watching the graph until you see a big school of bait over deep flat. Sometimes that is the only way I find them.

I fished the East Bay 3 weeks ago and was catching them 9'-30' on Drop.

That's kind of what I hear. One day they are up on the top and later the same day or the next they are back out deep. Luckily in many areas there's not a lot of distance between the two depths!

Thanks all. I will have to put the sidescan to work. Wondering if these last couple of.nights with temps in the 40's will change things up.

It will definitely start changing things up.
