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.

Can anyone give me a few good spots or pointers on Hardy?  I am heading up there on Saturday and I have little experience on this body of water.  I would like to chase some smallies!  Thank you all!!

Flats, points and the weed edges associated with them should get you some fish.

I appreciate the feedback!

Don't be afraid to spend some time looking shallow too... roamers are usually big fish!!

Will do!!  I went up to Traverse a few weeks ago and fished the east bay and smoked the smallies!  We caught about 50-60 fish with several in the 3-5lb range.  We have a pontoon on Hardy, so I rarely get the chance to bring the bass boat out on Hardy, so I lack the knowledge of that lake.

Thank you for helping out!

Hardy is great in the fall,  I grew up spending all my weekends there in the fall.  Try crankbaits and lipless cranks up on the big flats in 12 - 14 foot of water down past BigBend park if thats not working go up to Rogers bridge and drag jigs.  If all that fails the sure thing just to catch a couple of fish is jerkbaits around the 2 islands up from Bigbend.  Good luck and let us know what you catch I think Ill be headed up that way next weekend.

Thanks for all the info!  I will be sure to send a report!
