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.

only 4 weeks and it looks like the ice may be gone.  Me and Cheetam will be on White Lake.  The one north of M-59 in Highland.  Fish till noon then lunch at the White Lake Inn then back to fishing.  Just look for the white Ranger with one guy flippin and the other guy throwing pretty painted crankbaits.

A bunch of us did that last year. There was another post earlier about the same thing. I think several people already said they were going to White again. Veronica and I will be there, if the boat is done. Big IF right now.

I'll be on St. clair in the morning wacking pig smallies and Detroit River in the afternoon tearing up some fat largies! Then I'm going to do it all over again Sunday!!! It's going to be a great weekend and it can't get here fast enough.

    I work on the open of C&R but I plan on heading to St. Clair for a few days that following week.   8)

LSC for me too, but that White lake trip sounds inviting too. Never fished it and could use some expert advise if I come. Man I can't wait. I'm out in the garage waxing it now. The Money Pit

Kentucky Lake, finally. I've been wanting to fish there, forever.

My first outing in Michigan waters will probably be Lake Ovid, the following weekend, then St. Clair on the 14th.

Redbone

Hmmm.... I dunno.  But I cant wait till its warm!

McCarter

think i will join you guys out on white lake again.  last year was fun.  we caught them on just about everything.  Bobber lost a state record smallmouth on a blade too.  it was so big even the scales were the size of a 50 cent peice.  very small mouth, too.  it was like a super smallmouth. 

McCarter himself :-\'

djkimmel

Vince... I might go warm up Ovid for you...

But more likely I'll be in Barry County fishing shallow, dark bottom bays. Or maybe Gull Lake. Or the Grand River in Lansing... or... ?? Maybe I will put 10 lakes... no 20 lake names in a hat and have my wife draw out 2.

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.

now that's a great idea for a "DRAW" tournment

My plan is to be on Lake St. Clair for the C & R opener on April 30.  That will be the only day I will be able to fish so I want to make the most of it.  The next day is a what they call in Alec's soccer league a "Game Day".  That means he will have two (2) games on May 1.  At least I will get one day out there.  White Lake seems inviting also.  Been a while since I have been there.  Didn't make it there at all last year.  Usually I get there 2 or 3 times a year.  It will depend on the LSC weather forecast...........but the opening day plan is LSC.

I will be in Kentucky hopefully catching some toads.
When you are in any contest you should work as if there whereto the very last minute a chance to loose it.
