Here in Mich. the DNR is looking at some different proposals to change
the fishing season & actually add in some time for catch & release.
What I would like to know is where you guys are from & tell wether your
state has a closed season for bass long with a period of time that you
can catch & release

On BassFan.com, "Dock Talk" section, they say those changes will give the
shaft to bass anglers by shortening the tournament season. They provide a
link to this story:

Here in NY, the bass season is closed from December 1 through the third
Friday in June. During the closed season, it is illegal to fish for them,
even on a catch-and-release basis. There's a good chance that starting in
2007 there will be catch and release allowed during part or all of the
closed season.
