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.

I am going to back out so you will be even.   Got to get the wife ready for her big show in Sault St Marie the week after.   Have fun all.

If we fish it I'd be fishing it with Derek. He says he can do it but are we going to do it anyway with so few competitors? Let me know for those of you who said you'd go.

Well, Manxfishing is out for Sunday. I'm thinking we call it off for this weekend since at best there's 2 boats??

I would if I were you. We are going to go to a different lake for something different to do.

Sorry to back out but 2 boats, maybe 3 isn't enough interest to keep us going. We should schedule for next year ahead of time later this fall and see if the chips fall better with more time for people to prepare?

I see there is a tournament there today so guess it's probably best we are not in there way. 

djkimmel

That might have seemed more crowded and less productive. Though our day on Lake Hudson was not what I would call productive either...

So did this ever happen?
I would love to get on this, I would not be competitive but would have fun trying, I have never caught a fish on one but tried quite a bit for an hour at a time this year.
Doing this would most likely help me a lot.

djkimmel

Did not happen this year but if bob o would schedule one for next year maybe you'll get another shot at it. Keep posting on the forum. The best way to learn things and get to know more anglers!

Went out the Kent yesterday for a drive.   Lots of slop in the river and out towards the lake.  Might have to go Punching next week.

My dumb question.
Is frog season over? or is this just about getting the date that works for everyone?

djkimmel

Frog season isn't over but it's hard to get a date that everyone can make because there are club events and all those other 2,000 bass tournaments, along with family and job duties to deal with when trying to schedule an event anglers will make.

I don't mind taking the fault for rain if you pick the date and lake for next year!
