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.

oh goody nothing like having two tournaments on a pond!
Im sure it will be a great day just a bit more crowded.
kinda curious what club and why the directer didnt take into consideration that ABA's there too ???

Anthoney what do you think about bumping ours to saturday I HATE sunday tourneys.
Go Big or Go Home!

We just got our dates out last week.  You cant blame another club for scheduling on the same date as us if we didnt even have our dates posted.

Kent is a big enough lake.  We can all get along.  As long as you all stay off my spot.  which is the entire west end of the lake, starting at the bridge.  also the entire west shoreline of the back lake.  its mine.

McCarter himself :-\'

dartag

interesting the park gave out 2 permits for the same day. 
saturday would work for me.  since it is catch and release we can all take turns catching the big fish.

from the looks of the schedule ABA and DK have the whole month of May and 1st week in June booked.  ( except mothers day ).. 


bosshawg

 easy there boys......our club is michigan bass busters.
our schedule is presented to us in our december meeting so permits can go out at the jan. due time. not aware if TD knew. we had a meeting last thursday and did not mention this as i did not have my calendar book w/me and your schedule is a week or so old? no offense to other circuits, but w/so many out there we do not schedule ours around others (except federation). just the way the club opted to go. we hold no grudges to our members if they want to fish somebody elses tournament. its a club event, no big bucks, some bragging rites - all in fun. like i said launching from east, probably 12-13 boats. we can all get along....
if it feels good - SET THE HOOK!!

getting along isnt at all a problem for me and ABA did schedule late this year so its all good I just am not a small lake guy so I already feel cramped especialy during bedding season and after the beds already get beat on saturday to boot.
Im sure I can get 5 bites at kent on a sunday in may  ;D
Go Big or Go Home!

Anthony Adams

I'm not offended - Just surprised.

Like I said the ABA has been holding Paper tourneys there for 5 years now (This is the 5th season) and were always on the same weekend.

I realize my schedule was just realease a few weeks ago but this is one date that has been constant in our schedule.

By the way you can get your permit for Kent in September.

We will stay on Sunday.

These things happen - we will just have to make the best of it.





Anthony Adams - As your director I believe in promoting the enjoyment of fishing to all. I encourage good sportsmanship and preserving of natural resources. I strongly encourage all individuals regardless of age, race, or gender to be more involved in the world of fishing

bosshawg

 ok - that's cool...my last word.

I did talk to our TD last nite and he was not aware of yours. apparently his permit possibly in before yours as no mention of another tournament that weekend let alone same day. he was going to call today to check on but no word as i speak (write).

I put our date in back in Sept and again in October... However they don't actualy issue the paper permits until Feb. They just pencil you in before that.

I talked to Mr Shaffer today in regard and this was an error on his part.... nothing we can do now but make the best of it.

We went to print with over 200,000 fliers of our Schedule in Dec.. so I can't change the date

Maybe we can have a healthy competition between clubs.

Have your Director contact me at 586-202-3594 and maybe we can find a fun way to make the best of it.

This lake is big enough to handle both of us so lets make the best of it.
