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.

About the time of year I ask if there will be an outing this year.   Not to worry something will come up so I can't be there like every year.   But figured I would kick it off.

I sure hope so. I enjoyed fishing with you 2 years ago Steve. A little wetter than with my 2 trips with Mike though/// :)

I'll get with Dan and put something together. My truck has been laid up and I wanted to make sure it was going to be fixed before I committed to anything. It will.

I WISH I could hope for an 'early' spring... but after the past few springs I don't like the odds. I've been looking at May 9th or May 16th. I told mikesmiph these are the dates I told people who asked at the Ultimate Fishing Show. I also have had some lobbying already for one date or the other. I have to get through Outdoorama TODAY! through Sunday before I'll probably be able to go through my various message options to refresh my memory on what/who that was.

Thanks for caring!! :)

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.

If it really starts getting into the 40's and 50's after this weekend, I'm going to have spring fever real bad. I NEED to fish.

I think 5/16 is the day I was telling people... though with my swiss cheese memory... I may have told some people 5/9 as well. With all the weirdness going on, and the past couple 'no-springs' we had the later Saturday of the 16th might have better odds of being 'spring-like.' We can hope anyways. (Of course, it depends on whether or not this really is the apocalypse we are having right now?!?)

I would like to pock some lips on May 16!  ;D

djkimmel

Right now, we are in a holding pattern as we may not be able to have this event, and we may not know for sure until much closer to the event. I'll keep reading all the stuff trying to figure it out. I will say some in the DNR are doing a good job of keeping me informed though I don't always know what's going to happen any earlier than everyone else since things are changing very fast with little warning for everyone at times. Understandable in this unique, never-before situation.

So is the 16th being pencilled or penned in?
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

FrickerDude

Glad is wasn't the 9th!  It would have been cold and windy, Much like when Mojo and I ran to moot a fews years back and I had to lock tite my boat back together!
