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 figure I'll throw this on some 6 lb flouro and my dropshot rod.   :D

A 7" Tru Tungsten swimbait.  Last pic is a sort of before and after (they were both the same pattern).

Very nice job, lets hope a big pike don't take it on your first cast! LOL

Cheetam

I don't have a rod heavy enough to throw it!   :D  My line will snap and it will sink to the bottom of Kent on the first cast...

I think McCarter has an 8' swimbait rod for sale.  ;)
just trying to help
And the lure looks great too!

Fantastic looking paint job. I'm trying to picture this swimbait on the end of a drop-shot rig and i'm thinking it's going to dangle there with the nose pointed upwards and tail downwards? Not a very realistic sight for a baitfish....am i wrong in my picturing ?

Perfect dropshot bait ;D  Awesome paint job!
Got one!

Nope, you're not wrong.  It was a joke.  That bait is 7" long and weighs about 2.5 ozs, so it's definitely not a finesse bait.

You were joking?  Dang.... thought you might have been on to something.


(Now who's joking??  LOL!!!)
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

The only dropshot that ever works for me is dynamite. In fact, that's just about the only way i can get limits-dynamite...lol
