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.

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!

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.

Dan, I'm going to have to go as a non boater. After all of the medicql bills that have been acquired for my wife this year, I can't swing binging the boat up there this time. Sucks, but I just can't do it.

djkimmel

Okay. Guess I better do an early head count this weekend to see where we are at. I probably will not have my truck and boat up there either. I hope to have my truck fixed and my boat paid for and back in the yard by then, but I'm not sure yet myself.

Does that mean no more neon Nitro?  How will you ever find a brighter boat?

Any boaters have an opening to fish on Saturday?  I'd love to get in as a nonboater but it's too long a drive for me for just one day.

Non boater for me unless my insurance gives me a huge check.

Did I miss something?  What happened to your boat?

No story but the bad news of a broken hull was mentioned in the poll post just recently.

Big lake happened!  The top came apart from the bottom.  Taking it in tomorrow, the insurance guy was out monday and said he didn't feel it was fixable since it was structural.  Sounds like they are planning on just junking it!  Mike I did find an Arctic Cat green Bullet, you thought my boat was bright you need to see that boat.

Mike S.

I've seen one here in Muskegon several times. It was green and white. One of the only 2 Bullets I have ever seen. It was definitely a bright one.

Bet you don't go right out and get another Nitro eh?  Or, given what's happened Don's luck or what happend to Mark's last week, maybe try a Triton, Bass Cat, Ranger, etc...???

What are you trying to say, Mike?  Do you honestly think there's a bass boat in the world that was made to be fished as much as Don's boat is?  The Elite guys get what, a year out of a boat maybe?  Don is on 4 or 5 now with his. Lol!

Aaron, buy something way cool, and take me for a ride in it.
