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.

Hello All,

Well after 3 years of fishing tournaments I finally took 5 fish to the scales on Belleville. It was Thursday night Midwest Sportsman tourney our weight of 9.10 was good enough for 2nd place and 100 bucks. I just had to tell someone. Needless to say I got very lucky  ;D my partner set the pattern. I was just happy to understand why we were catching them. More to come I hope.

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

Congratulations! Way to go!

I really hope to get up there soon, there are areas I know hold good fish that I have never seen people fishing. Also there is a wooded shoreline up close to the river (3rd bridge) that I have always gotten limits off of. I love that lake!

took a week off to rest on your laurels, huh?

C'mon, get back out there and struggle with the rest of us.   ;D

That's cool.  I've only fished 6 tournaments here on Muskegon lake, and I'm having a heck of a time myself bringing 5 in.  When I just go out to play, I can catch a butt load, but as soon as I pay to fish, I lose my bearings and get frustrated.  Kinda like trying to learn to fish all over again.

djkimmel

yeah... I'm waiting for the new "2nd Limit" post too :D

Good luck Don - nice to see us mature guys can hold our own against the young guns ;D

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.

Say the word wags or anyone else wanting to buy a nice new Ford product. I can give out 6 X plans a year. I think it's about 1000 more than A plan....
