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.

 Hey Guys, I ran across this thread while searching for a place to plan a fall fishing trip for my son and I (he is 12) ironically(sp?) I grew up in rapid city and never have even been on this lake. Is there room for another boat and 2 fisherman?

Sure! Thanks for joining!

I do need 1 clarification - by 2 fisherman, do you mean just you and your son? Or are you bringing an additional non-boater besides your son?

Okay. I'm just waiting for answers from 4 people that I sent private messages too and then I can post the list and draw for Saturday. We are in pretty good shape with just a few triples.

djkimmel

Great! Thanks for clarifying and for the offer to take another! Glad to have you aboard and see you there!

Oh boy. I have to withdraw from the big event. Some work came up, so no play for me. Oh well, it makes the boater/non-boater list a little more even. Have fun!

Dang... no cameraguy.  Was looking forward to meeting you!

He NEVER comes. He was just foolin' with me this year I guess...  :'(

 :'( I really thought that I would be able to make this one. It is not very often that work comes along for a Sunday this late in the game. But it did. Since my work load was so awful in June and July, I have to take the work so I can try to catch up.

I have been out fishing only once this year so this would have been fantastic. Especially since that part of the state is at the top of my list of favorite destinations this time of year. It wasn't meant to be, I guess. 

djkimmel

Well... there's always next year. Or the year after...

I did get my 'little' brother to agree to possibly, maybe fix my truck sometime soon. If it is something he can do. Now I have to go earn the money.
