I could not help myself, but i thought you guys would enjoy a good laugh from the Michigan board of B.F.T.

Post titled " Suckers "

This doesn't happen often , the suckers have come in from under the ice !
Reports have come in from the Au Sable and Rifle Rivers to confirm that it is time to break out the smokers a little early .
Suckers usually start their migration after ice has dissapeared from the great lakes shoreline , however this year the early arrival was planed by a newly formed sucker group lead by "Osama Dabestfishing " , a self proclaimed leader of suckers everywhere who is determined to stop suckerfest as we know it .
In a private interview with the leader of the suckers i have learned that their strategy is to catch Michigan anglers off guard by slipping in under the ice and not giving us time to prepare for their yearly onslought .
"Fishermen will have no time to prepair for us" , Osama Dabestfishing stated , "They will be slamming their rod tips in the trunks of their cars and forgetting the required supplies they need to halt our rightful possession of the rivers and streams of our forefathers " .

A statement from the Michigan chapter of B.F.T. spokesman "Lonehunter " had this to reply;
"Detecting suckers at the riversmouth checkpoint is B.F.T.'s top priority. Advances in angler security since the first suckerfest , such as pre-supplied bait & tackle shops, 100 percent beer and jerky delivery, and the addition of thousands of Michigan anglers allows B.F.T. Members to focus more acutely on evolving threats."

"Lonehunter "also stated;
"B.F.T has already initiated enhanced detection technology training for Michigan anglers to identify possible underwater attacks. This additional training complements the ongoing and aggressive deployment of state-of-the-art sucker detection technologies statewide. B.F.T. also uses intelligence, random seagull swat team searches at checkpoints and other security measures, both seen and unseen, to more effectively counter this threat."

The time is now , as fishermen we must repel this invasion , grab an armful of fishing rods, a couple lawn chairs and stuff the wife and kids into the mini-van , every able bodied angler is needed here in the north .
Will you answer the call to protect our northern streams ?

that comes as no surprize to me, I suspected as much last week when the sixty degree rains came in.

what I am woried about is that they come in early and we get a cold snap to drive them back down and they wont return till the following year.

I was going to try to get out last weekend but didnt make it.

the ice around me is about all gone. rivers have been running high for the last couple weeks.

no reports of any one getting out on lake erie or detroit river yet. still floaters coming down from above.

The Public launches are open from Trenton on down to Monroe .
There are Walleye being taken in the Trenton channel , Perch hitting at the Sugar Island Breakwall , and some nice panfishing can be had out from the launchsite at Lake Erie Metropark . The steelhead run is going strong on the Huron and Raisen Rivers.
Just as you said , the ice flows are something to watch out for .
I haven't had any reports on the White Bass but some smallies are showing up just across from the Trenton public launch .
For our bowfishing freinds , the canals from Monroe to Pointe Moulie are showing several numbers of carp and bowfin .
