Burt / Mullet PAback Bass and BFL

[Hollada]

Anyone planning to fish both? Staying in the area?

I’m kicking around options. Wondering if anyone else is as well and might be interested in getting a VRBO in the area.

Better buy a " Flogger." Going to be a Bed Fishing Week.

Probably fishing both but will probably stay at the state park in the Ford hotel

I don’t know that my back can handle a week or more of fishing all day and sleeping in a tent. 20 years ago, maybe.

Big thick air bed works great

My luck I would roll off into the lake and drown!!!!!!

Truck cap with a full size mattress in the back. Has saved me thousands of dollars in hotels over the years. I sleep better back there then in most of the hotel beds anyways and Im right with the boat so I dont have to worry about my gear.

Ill be up in the area for the week but not sure ill be fishing any of the tourneys...

[MI_ProStar21XL]

I'm going to do one of them but possibly both. It's no secret it's bed fishing up here that time of the year. There is usually a mid week local tourney around that time of year as well. It'll probably fall between the two weekend tourneys.

Water so cold there may be ice till July

LoL naaaah when the ice decides to go it goes quick. But it has been ridiculously cold recently with no relief in sight. Hearing reports of between 3-7 inches of ice currently on Burt and Mullett depending on the area of the lake.

They should make that mid week derby an open.... lol. That place is going to get hammered.

You got that right. In the last 5 years the fishing pressure up this way has been increased incredibly. You never hardly saw a bass boat around. Now there is a tournament almost every weekend. Having the BFL and Payback Bass tourneys on back to back weekends is gonna be rough. The only good thing I guess is that they have opposite start points which will probably keep 90% of the boats one one lake or the other. I think I'll start exploring Lake Huron more this year.

Plenty of fish, but you'll have to practice for both. A lot will change in that week.

Yep, that's why I was checking to see if anyone was planning to stay up there that week and might need a few others to share expenses.
