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.

I'd like to get into painting cranks myself but I'll keep it simple.....My first jigs.
LureCraft Darter heads, and hand tied skirts. I used 80lb Stren super braid to tie the skirts. I am amazed how much more the skirts flare when they are tied. For my lighter jigs I might reduce the strand count to reduce the profile caused by the tied/flared skirts.
A couple pics.

Those look awesome!  They look like they will make great swimming jigs.

Thanks.....

I saved out a couple of the primed heads to paint black and make the basic black/blue. And another I'm not sure of...I want it to be a bluegill patterned swim jig I think..
