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.

OK, anyone who has been with this board for any length of time knows that I am addicted to creature baits, an actual creature bait nut. :P? Here is a pic of the original creature bait, and one of my favorites.? I've probably let the cat out of the bag with this one, but I'll make you work a bit.? I won't tell you the name of the thing, or who makes it. ;D

I use these for smallies whenever they get tight lipped.? And on the beds, forget about it!? They can't stand something they know will eat their eggs being on the nest.? They are deadly as all get out on a split-shot rig.  Gander Mountain in Saginaw is thinking about picking these up, but for now I buy them online.  Think Gander will sell any? ;D

Here's the smaller version from the same company that I use for perch when I go ice fishing.

Those look pretty interesting - you might want to buy a whole 'case' of them...

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.

Besides - I have a ton of Berkley sandworms left and I use those about the same - tricked a key bass to cull in the Houghton Lake Top Bass last year as a matter of fact with an old 4" sandworm. Plain old black I think. Or maybe red shad.

That top one looks interesting though.

That thing is too realistic looking...a fish wouldn't bite that :D

The only creature baits I have look like something out of alien...on a good day.

That pic is actually one of my least favorite colors.? The balck one ise awesome. 8)

The wee version is great on a double drop-shot rig for perch through the ice.  It works on wary bass, too.
