Move went fine. The new server is much faster. Which is good!

I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Nope. Not to me. My 22ft boat has never felt too big. I just need a 500R.  8)

Bet my little Ranger with my aluminum prop will run with it on Kent at 10mph.

yea, but i could walk past you and still be in the boat, hahahaha

That is true.   I am buying a Wake Surf Boat and going out on the weekends and circle bass boats.   Fished White Saturday.  Great until 10 then it was time.   4 Wake Surf boats in the exact area I fish.   Guess they stay out in the middle so they are not bothering the shore people.   Boat is still wet today.  Bilge pump ran probably 10 times that I saw.   Poor little boat does not have a chance in them big waves.   Going to get me them Boom Boom speakers to.  Only problem is they start at about 100k.

Depends on where you're fishing and how big the waves are...?? There were many times I wanted a cigar boat with a bow mount trolling motor - extra long shaft... ;D Glad I can look at the waves sometimes now and think, we need a smaller lake (instead of a bigger boat).

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
