I'm disappointed to see now that House Natural Resources and Tourism Committee Chair Representative David Martin has added those very bad commercial fishing bills HB 5801 and 5802 to an upcoming committee hearing on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at noon.

The poorly written, damaging to Michigan Sport Fishing commercial fishing bills have been introduced again. State House Bills 5801 and 5802, introduced by Rep. Dave Prestin and Rep. Jason Morgan, have been assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism.

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.

Football jig line recommendations

For many yrs I have used braid to fluoro on all my spinning rods, straight fluoro on my, straight mono on my topwater & crankbait rods, straight braid on my frog rod & pitching rod, and this year I'm trying out some new line on my spinnerbait & lipless crank rods by Suffix called Super 21 which is a 21% stretch resulting in 40% less stretch than regular mono. For $5 per 300 yd spool it seemed worth it to try. I'm thinking about respooling my worm/jig rod which I usually throw footballs jigs on with a braid to fluoro connection and still use 15lb fluoro for my leader. I currently have all fluoro on that rod. How many of you use a braid to fluoro leader when throwing football jigs, heavier tubes, bifflehead type baits? It just seems to me you could save a lot of money going braid to fluoro leader for most applications. I'd be curious to hear your feedback & also what type/pound test everyone uses for their various applications. Here's mine: Frog-65# braid, topwater (mostly spooks)-17 mono, spinnerbait-14-17 advanced mono, dropshot-15 braid to 8-10 fluoro leader, spinning (wacky rig, tubes, finesse swimbaits, grubs) 15 braid to 8-10 fluoro, pitching-50 braid or 25 big game mono, jerkbait-10# fluoro, crankbaits-10-14 mono. Thanks for the feedback.
