What's New?
The Kosmerick’s landed the biggest bass and captured the Arjay’s Wednesday Nighter at Cedar Lake on a very tough evening for fishing last week.
A 6-pounder in your creel will win a lot of bass tournaments and it sure did for Bill Mathews and Kris Iodice in the Butcher Baits Tourney on Austin Lake last weekend.

Drought, Weather Affecting Bass Patterns
- Details
By Kevin VanDam
Kevin VanDamThe nation is in a severe drought and its affecting the lakes around southern Michigan.
Weve been dealing with falling lake levels and a lack of sufficient rainfall for several weeks now. Farmers are still irrigating heavily and the bottom is falling out of the water table which also affects our lakes. The water table at my house fell 1½ feet over the past week!
In the meantime our fish are losing valuable shallow water habitat. You can still catch some fish shallow, but the bigger fish are still deeper.
Everything is getting stressed and the fish are starting to show it.
