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.

Okay. I've added you to the list I will update in a few minutes. We are still a fair number of boats short but I'm working on it. Worse comes to worse, I may ask a few boaters to triple up to get everyone out. One boater has already graciously volunteered to do so on his own! Thanks mikeszr800!!

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.

I know i'm supposed to bring my own life jacket as a non boater but mine seems to be MIA.  Wanted to ask in advance if someone would have one I could borrow. Can't wait to get out on the water.

I'll have an extra vest and an extra savephace if needed by anyone.
Remember you don't quit fishing when you get old, you get old when you quit fishing

Hey Mike, remind me to bring a vest and my SavePhace mask!!  LOL!!!

Looking forward to this event.  11 more days!

One other reminder - you need the Largemouth Bass Weighmaster measuring board to get the correct measurement to weigh conversions for the catch-measure-release event.

If you have 1 at all, even if you are not a boater at this event, please bring it so we are sure we have enough. I do not have any extra measuring boards.

Hey Dan, only 23 boats this year???
Was it a bigger turnout last year?

Close to the same. We ended up with 26 boats I believe last spring. We had 29 non-boaters.

This spring so far we have 23 boaters and 28 non-boaters. Pretty close.

Just wanted to thank Dan and the rest of the boaters here for offering an opportunity to a lot of guys who wouldn't have a chance to get out on LSC otherwise.  Thanks for all your efforts and time!
