Let's get the "Big Bass" into Big Bass Lake again!  Bass Lakes AEP is hosting several fish outings Bass Lakes families and guests. The purpose of the fish outings is to harvest stunted bass and get families out fishing. The DNR has advised we remove the stunted small bass (10"-13") to allow panfish populations to recover and help bass over 14" grow larger. Please help improve the fishery and get kids fishing!

​

Objectives & Rules:

​

1. Get families out fishing.

2. Remove  stunted bass (10" to 14") only.  

3. 10" to 14"Bass must be kept, not returned to the lake.

4. A creel survey must be filled out for each day of fishing . A picture of the creel survey  along with a picture of kept bass sent to Tom Stinson (616)460-8516 or stinsonproducts@gmail.com 

5. Prizes will be awarded for each day of Labor day weekend, Saturday, Sunday, Monday (Sept 4,5 &6).

6. Prizes will be awarded each day by raffle drawing from creel survey entries. Entries need to be sent before 10pm on Saturday and Sunday, and noon on Monday.

7. Most fish entered overall by a family team will be the Labor Day weekend winner! 

8. Winners will be announced on the BB/LB Lakes Irons Facebook page and by text or email.
