Looks like nice guy and great angler (and GLBass member) Mike Trombly is leading the boater side after day one in the Michigan BFL on the Detroit River. He’s usually tough this time of year particularly on the river and Lake Erie. I see several other GreatLakesBass.com members finished very high and even made the cut. More big old Great Lakes smallmouth bass being caught and brought in. I hope the wind wasn’t blowing, and I hope it doesn’t blow tomorrow.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has announced public forums again will be held throughout the state this year (2017), inviting the public to discuss local and statewide fisheries management activities and concerns.
Back up north for my annual fall big northern smallmouth lake trip to possibly my favorite lake in the world (at least north of Gaylord and south of St. Ignace) Mullett Lake.
Coming up Tuesday or Wednesday, our government may decide whether or not they will loan the auto industry money needed to retool and invest in the near future.
My good friends and regular fishing partners Derek Baetz and Larry Dekker talked me into giving the Top Bass circuit a try this year. Top Bass has an interesting format in that you fish by yourself – so everyone is a guaranteed boater.
The poorly written, damaging to Michigan Sport Fishing commercial fishing bills have been introduced again. State House Bills 5801 and 5802, introduced by Rep. Dave Prestin and Rep. Jason Morgan, have been assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism.
As usual, the winter open house at Matteson Marine on Gun Lake in Michigan was well attended with great seminars including one I enjoyed very much by national bass pro George Cochran. Read more and see some pictures on the forum.
