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.

I had the privilege of watching Greg Mangus put a hurting on some largemouth December 3. I can say with confidence now: he is as good as advertised.

I got this privilege because he participated in my attempt to mimic the Day on the Lake series featured in Bassmaster Magazine. I like reading what the pros do, but always thought it would be even more helpful to see how a local angler dissects a body of water. He is first in the series. I hope you all enjoy!

Something else he should be given credit for.....When he worked at Lunkers in Edwardsburg it seemed like the Bass fishing knowledge, and inventory was 100x what it is today.
Personable and knowledgeable staff isn't their high point IMO.

Nice write up!! Day on the Lake is my favorite too.

FishermanJohn

Great article!  Thanks for sharing.  Day on the Lake is my favorite as well.

Waterfoul

If you like the "Day on the Lake" articles, try to catch the show "Lost Lake" on the WFN.  I've learned a few things watching that show too.

As for Greg... anyone who had any doubt that he was "all that" hasn't been fishing in Michigan/Indiana very long!  LOL!!  Super nice guy, and you can thank him for the Erie Darter too.  Oh, and he now owns C-Flash crank baits.
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

djkimmel

Maybe owning the baits will keep him more busy?!? ;D

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.

I'm glad so many liked it. To say the least, It was fun to do.

Mangus is now doing all of the work for C Flash. Everything from doing the work on the lathe to packaging is done by him in his home. He is becoming a busy guy. If you meet up with him, don't ask him about the taxes he has to pay! Or on second thought, if you want to be entertained for 30 minutes, go ahead and ask him.  ;D

Actually, if you want to be entertained, tell him you're a Democrat! LOL!!!  And I guarantee it'll be longer than 30 minutes!

A bass boat is a terrible place to discuss politics!!
