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.

They have had lighted signs up in the area for a couple weeks but for those that have not ventured to the launches yet here is your warning....lol

I got a late start last year for the opener and was delayed and rerouted a few times getting to Harley Ensign. Not fun when trailering anything!

Signs said 7a-2p. Web site says it starts at 8a. Plan accordingly. I would get there early....launching at Selfridge should not have any issues.

Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.

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 was going to Clair for the opener, but the water is so muddy that I'm gonna put it off for at least a week.  Hopefully the inland lakes won't be so brown.
So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

Lots of stuff in fishing is relative...

I was thinking, rather than moving this event next year to a different weekend, maybe we could just get rid of opening day and every day would be opening day!

How would Gov Kimmel sound? That way he gets to sign what he wants and veto the rest LOL
Remember you don't quit fishing when you get old, you get old when you quit fishing

It sounds terrible!! Do you have any idea how many people get mad at or complain to a governor?!? A lot.

He (the Gov) was lucky with me last Thursday. I just talked to him about fishing...

Politics is not for me... you may have been talking about my brother? He keeps running for office. I think he has gone kooky...

I do like the slogan 'Every day is opening day' though. That has a nice sound to it. I will license it to whomever wants it!! I know at least 1 member on here has run for office... ;D
