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.

My first clue that I should have turned around and went back home was when the Amish beat me to the ramp! no joke!  ???

This lakes kicked my tail.  I tried fishing shallow with poppers, spooks, frogs, shallow diving cranks and soft plastics with no luck on any of it.  I had 2-4 local's at any given time in their fishing rigs fishing with live bait and I didn't see any fish caught.  Fish were breaking the surface more often than I have seen yet this year.  I tried switching baits, colors, presentations, structure, cover, ets...  I had one fish get off on the main lake but I am unsure what it was.  I did catch one pike roughly 30" in 5 ft of weeds.  Other than that, I did not see a fish all day.

One thing I did notice is the lake just had a massive mayfly hatch and there were thousands of mayflies all over the lake.  Was a tough day on the lake.

Mayfly hatch will do it. I was at tippy for seven hours without a bass.

Did you try drop shot?
lol I did not use drop shot.  Looking back, I wish I would have.  The only water I didn't touch was 20+ but with the water temps in the low 70's, I figured they would be up in the water column.  One of you guys down state need to take me on St. Clair to become more familiar with drop shotting!  ;D
