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.

Pretty slow here at work this time of year so I could really use something interesting to read!!

(only 5 more hours till I head up for the MadWags open... tic toc... tic toc...)

I could complain about how much I hate Spring Lake and people who chuck wacky senkos on it all day?

Waterfoul

Right.  When everyone knows that you should be drop shotting instead!

Yup i would have to agree on the dropshot. You can keep the bait right where you want it for a long time.  That gives you a lot of time to be in the strike zone while you fish all 2 spots in spring that get hammered daily and still produces huge 1.5 pound fish every time! And if you get sick of that i could list plenty of places to catch weeds and sheephead :) i love spring lake!

I will be on my way in about 3 hours. Should be sleeping, but........  Hopefully Skeg fishes better than last year. If not, I can definitely say I will never go back. I'm not really looking forward to the drive up there and back by myself.

I think michigan bass season should be open all year, 12 inches should be legal, limits should be 15 fish and more people should post good bass recipes.

Just trying to start up some drama for you, oh, snagging should be ok too

Mike S.

There you have it. That would start major drama.

Are you freaking kidding me?  Everyone knows there are NO good bass recipes.   :o

The rest looks good to me.  :D

Well, if 12 inches was legal, we could have weighed 5 fish Sunday! I guess there is a plus side.

Frank

I saw one good recipe for bass stuffed spotted owl

Mojo

I'm calling to outlaw the use of spinnerbaits. Any drama there ?
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

How about drop shotting on drowned river mouths?

Why would I want those dirty fish??

I can see it now... Medium extra fast 7'2" spinning rod, 15 lb power pro with an 8 lb floro leader down to a thin wire Owner downshot hook... yeah, like I stand a chance with that combo!!  Sure sounds like great snagging gear to me!

None on my part
As strange as it might seem, I've yet to catch any size Bass on a SpinnerBait?
And yes, I do throw them now and then. The pike love them


Frank

my spinnerbaits only work so good because i tip them with live goldfish
