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.

Our classic will be on Sanford and Wixom in late September.  Never been on Sanford.  Heard stories of big stumps and rocks on the north end.   Anyone fish it regularly.

once you get past mid lake headed north. That channel gets real skinny. Big flats with stumps all over. Fished it once in a BASS team circuit. Vowed Id never go back. They did put some good weights in the boat. 21 pounds or so.   I prefer secord  myself.

I haven't fished it in years but it is basically a lowland reservoir so you would fish it as that. I remember fishing some trees, logs and stumps though where there were green weeds there was also bass. Unfortunately my fishing was mostly in the lower end. Late summer and fall I've always preferred running upstream a ways. Never got the chance there. Definitely learn the channel and stay in it. Some wood right on the edge.

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.

There used to be a member I fished with in a DK that lived up there.  We were supposed to have an NBAA event there a long time ago.   I had notes somewhere about the lake but can't find them.   Probably idle a lot the first trip up there.   Maybe I will actually use my side scan for something other that looking for junk on the bottom of my lake.

If you don't use it you might lose it!
