Michigan can use motorized boats!!!!!

Just released that our Governor extended the stay at home order until 5-15 but lifted certain restrictions including the use of motorized boats. Brown bass here I come!

Hear that @A-Jay - you can dig the Lund back out of the mountain of mothballs.

Yes he can, I’m sure he’s doing a happy dance. That being said the weather looks like crap in his neck of the woods.

I took a peek - he hasn't even logged in since last Friday...where's he hiding?

I think he went back in to hibernation. Can’t say I blame him.

That is awesome to hear!!  Thought it was completely stupid when I first heard that anyways.  Wonder how much Zona pushing had to do with this new decision.

I'm sure it has a lot more to do with recreational boating than fishing boats.  They tend to attract larger groups of people who are more interested in socializing rather than singles or doubles who just want to fish.

I'm wondering if KVD had a hand in this.

Him also, just know Zona was very loud with his opinion recently!

It was the walleye guys on the Detroit River and Saginaw Bay that drew the attention. Recreational boating is virtually nonexistent (as you know) until Memorial Weekend. 
 

There was a huge protest a week or two ago at the Capitol with anglers, landscapers, and other outdoor businesses voicing their opinions.

She just lifted something that she never actually banned. Thank goodness!!

While I am super happy that my Triton is legal again, I was really looking forward to a once in a lifetime kayak adventure on a local powerboating lake that would have been wake free. Oh well, back to fixing my trailer, we're back in the game.

Forecast was jacked as usual.

This felt good though . . .

Yep, can't wait!  Glad the ban was lifted, this was going to be the first year in 10+ years I wasn't going to be able to make my annual spring trip to LSC!

 

Looking forward to my 9 solo days of sun up to sun down smallie fishin'!  Goal is to break my PB bag of smallies there, 27lb 12oz and/or catch a 7lb+.
