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.

You want to learn to fish a jig here is what you do.  Just got back from 3 days on Canadian lakes.  All I took were 2 jig rods with 30 lb braid and a 17 lb floro leader.  Fished a 1/2 oz jig for all 3 days.  For trailers I used Chigger Craw, Paca Chunk and Stirke King Denny Brauer chunk.  All in Green Pumpkin and none seemed better than the other.  I caught over 40 bass with at least 3  5lbs or better.  Wish i had taken my scale.  Caught a lot or 2-4 pounders. The bass were shallow feeding on blue gills.   Fish a jig for 3 days and you will figure it out and be hooked. 

Now i want to go back

Are you talking about the Canadien Lakes near Stanton, MI?
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

North of Stanton west of Mt Pleasant.  Got a friend with a cottage there.  We go up every year and fish while the ladies go shopping.  This year the weather was not the best but the fishing was unreal.  He has a pontoon so you just drift and cast.  The other guys fish for pike with spinners.  I flip a jig.  This year the bigger bass were shallow feeding on bluegill.   Wish I could take my Ranger but you have to be a property owner to have a boat on the lake.  I did find out they have lots for around 1000.00.  I may look into buying one so I can take my boat to fish.  Thursday the whole lake system is no wake so that would be a great day to fish.

I think Eric lives just south of there.
