Well 111 signatures and climbing! I have been asked by many people what on Earth I plan to do with the signatures once I get them. Well after a lot of thought here is what I plan to do with them. I am open to any other suggestions anyone may have as well... 1) The website/service hosting the petition gives me the ability to print out the whole petition including all the signatures. So I will print out several copies of the petition. 2) I will include a letter that I am going to start working on stating all the reasons why the Michigan DNRE should consider doing away with the closed Bass season statewide and turning that season into catch & immediate release. (Scientific Studies, Economical Impact, etc...) 3) I am going to work on getting statements from Michigan businesses that support the changes and why they support them. Not just tackle shops, but Michigan based tackle companies, restaurants, motels, etc... 4) It would help me out tremendously if you guys could help me out with a list of businesses I should contact for statements. Like I said, tackle shops, Michigan tackle companies, motels, restaurants, etc... If any of you own businesses like this, PLEASE send me a statement of why you support the change via email to woundedminnow@ymail.com I will then print and submit with the rest of the stuff. Now, who will I be sending these packets of information to??? Basically I will be mailing out this information to the Michigan DNRE and any Michigan Congress members, Michigan Senators, Michigan's Governor's office, etc... Basically any entity that is somebody in the State of Michigan will receive a packet. Hopefully it will be enough to turn enough heads to make something happen. I think we all know 111 signatures is NOT going to turn very many heads, therefore I need all of you to do everything you can to increase the amount of signatures on the petition. We need signatures not only from Michigan residents, but anyone who travels to Michigan to fish for Bass. I plan to leave the petition open until Friday, May 14th. After that I will be printing it out and putting together the packets to put in the mail. I am hoping that is enough time to get 1,000+ signatures on there. Thank you for your time, Kory

This is not my facebook group, but is dedicated to the cause. I have all the petition info posted there as well. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=108297409202895

What site asks for a donation??? As far as if you have to be a Michigan resident, I would say no, but you should at least fish for Bass in the state of Michigan.

Please take a moment to read and sign the petition. If we can get enough public support, we stand a very good chance of making this a reality... http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/michiganbassregulations/

Those things are HUGE! Never knew Korea had Bass...

I would have to completely agree with you...

Yes we do here in Michigan, we are trying to change that in regards to Bass though, check out the petition in my signature...

I too would love to know where you got those jigs at...

I have used this stuff in 4 pound for Crappie and was really impressed.

I like jigs and try to fish them as vertically as possible as long as the water is deeper...

That thing is a BEAST!

I like any soft plastic that mimics a crayfish, never really had any reason to use anything else on the smaller water...

I like In-Fisherman myself...

Outstanding!

It is likely what is happening is the fluoro is actually sliding on your spool. This is common with braid and I imagine could happen fairly easily with fluoro. You may need to take the line off, attach a 5' section of mono to the spool and make sure it is wraped nice and tight, then blood know the mono to the fluoro and fill your spool, mono should not slip on the spool so it should fix your problems...
