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.

last Wednesday I hit "the" rockpile on Chemung :'(



With Burt/Mullet (then) next week I was pretty close to a panic!

I dropped my boat off @ 9:00am Thursday morning, and told them my situation and that I had "planned" on fishing the BFL and they were on it immediately! They expedited everything from getting the lower unit off to be welded thurs. afternoon to ordering the ness. parts and scheduling labor time.

I picked it 2night @ 6:00pm completely done and good as new! That is amazing!!! ::)

A huge thanks to:
Keith Whitlock (Parts and Service)
John Mitter (Owner)
Mark Weigen (Parts and Service)
Mark Scoobie (Tech)

Ralph you have the best support crew out there IMO!

You got off pretty easy.  Me and Van Gordan hit that rock bar and his entire lower unit was gone if i remember coreectly.  there were gears and bearing all over the place on the bottom.  Either way, WMW is by and far the best place in the state to buy a boat, have your boat serviced, or whatever else you need concering boats.  They are good people and understand the importance to us bass fisherman of having our stuff back quickly to keep us going. 

McCarter himself :-\'

Great to hear you can get fast help during our too short summer season!

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.
