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.

Where are you going? i'm hoping to meet up with the white lake folks this year, or LSC  ::)

motocross269

Maybe in an ice shanty if things don't change quickly.... ;D

I'll be on LSC....Probably not on opening day but that week sometime....

Skulley

This may be the first opening day in the last few years I may actually be able to fish. I can't believe there is no soccer game for me to go to. So if nothing changes, LSC is where I'll be.

I will be in Italy with my family.   First time I have missed fishing White Lake opener in quite a few years.  Hoping to get home and organized for the DK open.

Arcadia Lake and Betsie Bay if the snow and ice is gone from the ramps.
I have been hit with 2 feet of snow last couple days cant even get to the maple sap buckets in the woods.

   I plan to be on St. Clair Sunday of the C&R opener thru Thursday the 2nd.  Would someone make sure the ice is gone, muddy water cleared and the water level up please???   ;)

BIGSHOW

I was looking at the lake levels and they are quite a bit lower than last year. But they expect them to come up a bit. Anyone hear anything?

TackleThis!

 I have that week off so the plan is to wet the line at Lake LeeLanau, Crystal, Skegemog and Portage. <///><

BIGSHOW

I was looking at a house on lake leelanau. I've never fished it. Is it any good?  I saw it was pretty big (long). We have a place now on bass lake a little south of there (350 acres). Which is loaded with small bass. Never heard much talk about leelanau

TackleThis!

Have done real good in spring and fall. They have a fall tournament there that has a few pro's show up young Vandam was there last year.  Have personally weighted 4.5 and 5 pound fish, have time you should fish it .

bigmojet

KVD and Hook and look have filmed several shows on south lake leelanau

TCook

I spent a week on leelanau both years BAU had there classic in the fall there and the fishing was phenominal for the most part. Most practice days we had 24-25lb limits. This year me and a buddy are running payback bass west division and decided to have the first tournament on Lake leelanau on May 26th. Never fished there in the spring before but I expect some big bags.
FISH HARD!!!

BIGSHOW

Maybe thats the lake in traverse city that JVD said he saw the biggest smallmouth ever? He wouldn't say which lake but its in/near TC. Probably Torch/Bellaire if you ask me. Thats to much $$$$$ for me though to buy on.

Got Fish??

Well I guess if UAW is going out opening day ! I'm going  to  have to go with him.

bigmojet

If you're gonna fish lake leelanau save some time to give little/big glen lakes a try in spring.

If too windy try lime lake in cedar.

Frank

i always do the opener on Pontiac lake

BIGSHOW

I think i'll be in Traverse on opening day. Lets see....The bay, Leelanau,little/big glen,lime......decisions,decisions  :-\'

TheFishinPollock

Starting the season on West Bay outa clinch park then heading to east bay.   Long as the water temps are halfway decent. If not  I'll stick to my home lake chaing and see  what I can dig up outa Elk again.
Hey Tackle. If your headed to leelanau, I got a few spots for ya since its kinda big  . On both lakes  . Might wanan give Long a shot too. It chock full of big everything.

I will be at work all weekend. The last 2 years have been horrible for me....the Nitro got hit on the trailer, and the following year my wife almost died from a blood infection after her surgery.

So, I will take my oldest 2 kids out on Muskegon Lake in the afternoon, weather permitting. It is time my oldest daughter gets a taste of bass fishing. Hope she likes it.
