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.

It hasn't been long since I started fishing. I heard the bait is the problem. Can you recommend a good one? I've heard there's a bait that uses ingredients to attract fish. so I am interested in it. If you recommend it, I'll try it and write it later, regardless of the price.

There is no " super bait " . That's why a lot of us have garages full of tackle. Your bait choice depends on time of year, where you're fishing, what species of fish, weather, what part of the state and many other things. Many of the bait companies add attractants so their baits, especially soft plastics. What part of the state are you in? Maybe you could ask one of us to take you fishing and show you some things.

I agree with Mike.   If you are new to fishing use worms or nightcrawlers and learn to catch fish first.  A worm and a hook is probably the best fish catcher out there.  Once you get the process down you can experiment with artificial baits.  Enjoy the time outdoors.  There are many You Tube videos on how to get started.

Have fun.

Remember, this Internet thing is global... might be a long drive for a fishing trip. Plus, there's that Pacific ocean thing in between you and Korea... Sometimes these kinds of posts are a little fishy but I've kept my eye on this one and nothing much has occurred...

Risky trusting my memory, but I believe there's some largemouth bass stocked in Korea. South Korea anyways.

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.

Maybe some kind of 'sucker.'
