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.

You go right ahead and go there opening day. Everyone else will wait til Sunday.

I will be on Hardy opening day.
When you are in any contest you should work as if there whereto the very last minute a chance to loose it.

Some people hate the lake. But Orchard Lake has always been good to me

Lake Pickwick, Florence, AL April 6th will be my opening day.

If you mean C/R opener.   I'll be on White lake.  the one 1/2 mile north of M-59 on duck lake road in highland.  Probably have lunch at the Inn then back to fishing.  Worked out well last year.  

only 3 months to go. >:( :'(

The real opener will be Lobdell on Sat and probably Kent on Sun.

Oh crap... this is why I write things down.  But of course that calender is at work.  I will actually be on Croton opening day now that I put just a little thought into it.

I was half planning on the C/R opener on White Lake (Oakland Co.) again this year. We had a ball last year. Didn't catch fish, but we ate good. LOL

i'm going to try to make to white lake this year

tjrock

Joining you guys on White for the C/R opener sounds like it could be fun!!!
Not sure yet, but I will probably be on Muskegon for the real opener. I have never fished there before and we're fishing in the TBF/ROI on sunday.

mikesmiph

Planning on Muskegon too, If I can find a partner.

Redbone

I have been buying gear just for that day. ::)

<------Croton.


Cy

I think I will be on Croton for the opener, probably catching spawning small mouth.  Fun as he...you know what!

C&R opener is normally Hardy if it isn't too windy.  Muskegon river impoundments are best in the spring.

I will be at LSC for the catch and release opener.  I will be at LSC for the regular season opening which will still be catch and release on LSC and I will be on LSC for the LSC, St. Clair River, and Detroit River opener.  I will be on LSC for the Ontario Bass Opener.  Why go anywhere else!!!

Because it's a big world??

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.

I love fishing for Rock Bass before the C/R starts. I heard from a guy I know that BWF has some big ones......if you want we could head out there together, and then maybe go for some ice cream ;)
