TOPIC:

We were back in Lansing this week at the Michigan Sportsman Caucus breakfast across the street from the capital. We got to speak with some of our Senators and Representatives, DNR Leadership and Natural Resource Commissioners about HB 5093. Everytime we explain to people the devastating affect of inflation on the Michigan DNR's Fisheries Division budget, which has not had an increase in over a decade, and how HB 5093 will fix it  and and improve fishing in Michigan, they support our bill. The list of fishing organizations, businesses and tourist bureaus who support the bill grows every week.

How can you help? There are 4 ways.

1. If you are or know a fishing group or business who can sign a formal letter of support, send us an email at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
and we can email you the bill, a summary(also in our FB posts) and a formal sign on letter.

2. Email your MI State House Representatives and tell them you support HB 5093, you want it passed and want a hearing and vote on the bill soon.  You can find your Representative here:

It would also be good to email the House Majority Leader with the same request too @

3. Share this post. It can really help our reach and get HB 5093 to improve fishing in Michigan enacted into law.

4. Join the GLSI. We are working hard for you to improve fishing in all the Great Lakes Region. If we can get HB 5093 across the finish line in Michigan, our next step is to work on this concept of a small license increase for better fishing opportunities in the other Great Lakes states.
