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 will be there.  I don't know what day yet.  Probably Saturday.  10 month old twin girls are a lot of work.  I hope I get more time to fish this season. . . 

Don't count on it Jay.  When my triplets were born I didn't fish much for quite a few years.  Seems there's always something more important to do.  Maybe not in your mind, but the wife and the kids have different ideas as to how Dad should spend his time.

And that's OK. 

My God, if truer word have been spoken, I'm not sure where. Fiker - you move me  :'(   lol !

Serious - that defines why I just spent $25,000 on a pontoon (115 HP mind you) and not a bass boat, with no , tiny , some regret ....  ;D    ;D
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

WOW triplets!  I guess you had even less time that I do now.  I understand what you and Mojo are saying. . .  But I have to get back out there fishing else I will go CRAZY!  I only fished 2 tournaments last year.  It was tough with the twins and losing my best friend, fishing partner Dave "MadWags" Wagensomer.  I told myself I would be on the water more this season.  We will see. . .

We'll get you out on St. Clair in early May anyway!

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.

Yeah I'll tell you what Jay.  You PM me when you need to get out we'll go.  I understand completely.  We can even commiserate together while we fish.  A guys got to get away to recharge his batteries.  Just remember, so does your wife.

The first year the kids were here I used to shoot in an archery league on Thursday nights.  It was only for an hour or two but I looked forward to it every week.  For two hours I could actually relax and not think/worry about anything except hitting the bulls eye. 
Doing the weekly grocery shopping was a field trip. 

I had to do things like that to keep my sanity.  (I know some would argue that it didn't work and I've never recovered). 

So when you need to give me a call.  We'll go out and smack smallies on Clair, or pitch jigs on Kent.  Something.   Anything.  Just to get out.

So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.
