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.

anyone interested? Manistique lake, long weekend, pitch in on a cabin, end of summer after the black flies take off.

djkimmel

Never been there but it is an interesting looking lake. I don't like black flies but I do like fishing new places. Keep us posted on plans.

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.

6 lb Smallmouth

What date range are you looking at?  I'm trying to plan something towards the end of summer up that direction.

Nothing beats Great Lakes Smallmouth!

Give me a date range bob and I can probably make it.

now we are doing better, i was thinking end of august early september. does antone have a big camper? or should we look for a cabin?

Yukon was talk in about a lake just north of the bridge. Walk to only. Canoe. But the dnr stocked it heavy and today it holds some incredible smallmouth. It was thinking about fishing up north too next year so let's keep in touch.
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

djkimmel

That sounds like the old paper company lake that got turned over to the MDNR just a few seasons ago. Might be a different lake.

I got a travel trailer that sleeps 4 to 6. I can go as a back boater if I pull that. Got to upgrade to a 5th wheel so I can bring the boat too. Or a cabin is good and I'll bring the boat.  I've never fished in the UP so I'd be up for somewhere new and exciting.
