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.

Now is the best time to be a bass angler on Lake St. Clair in at least the last 50 years according to a recent long-term MDNR fisheries research study.

Due to low water levels on the Great Lakes, particularly Lake St. Clair, the mouth of the channel at the Michigan DNR Clinton River Cutoff ramp needs to be dredged.

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / 2025 SWAPMEET
Last post by bob o - January 14, 2025, 10:41:35 AM
The 2025 fishing swap meet and silent auction.
Date of event: March 8th, Saturday 11:00 till whenever
This year we have V.T.A.C. for our silent auction beneficiary. https://supportvtac.org/, 100% of the silent auction monies will be earmarked for the Veterans Treatment Assistance Corps. If you have questions (and I know you do) any tackle you haven't used or new bring it for the table, if its condition too bad to donate we will also have a free box for your duds or well used items. Tackle makers are welcome to sell/donate too, even sponsored semi pro or pro fisherman are also welcome to sell/donate. If there is nothing on the silent auction table you wish to bid on but still want to donate there will be a donation box (unbreakable) to place your donation. Fishing clubs and Teams are also invited.
The swap meet will be the same with no changes, the front door will open at 11:00am and close when the last person leaves. I will have tables set up for anyone to set up their tackle for trade or sell. Food, this year will start with my Texas chili (no beans), please feel free to bring one of your favorite dishes to pass. Drink, my fridge will be open full of beer and soft drinks, but feel free to bring your own beverage hard or soft.

Thanks Dan.  I just played around with another one for a quite a while.  Rumble has 4 different ways to embed it and none worked unfortunately.  I'll just try to include a thumbnail when I can.  Thanks for the reply.  It's much appreciated.

Here is a video with some obstacles to overcome.  Jim and I fished late October and had to deal with different current variations, weather changes, and tournament pressure.  There were two tournaments going on.

For much of January 9 - 12, 2025, I will be sitting or standing in Booth 3054 at the Ultimate Fishing Show in Novi waiting for people to stop by and say hey. I hope a bunch of you travel over one or more of those days to check out the deals, free seminars and to visit.

I'll be next door to Xtreme Bass Tackle again near the NW corner of the building. I might be wandering a few times, or taking in some of the seminars myself with KVD, Z and Dobson, among others speaking.

I'll be out doing the Ultimate Bass Clinic on Saturday from 2:30 pm until 4:30 pm.

As far as the email notifications about post updates, Gmail likes to block those or send them to spam because they think it might not be legitimate regardless that I have the email set up to show it is real and not spam. Gmail does a better job sometimes blocking good email than it does bad email. For me anyway. If you have your spam settings set to strict or high, or whatever Gmail's version of that is, it will probably block a lot of website email that comes from the actual domain. But even at medium, some people have problems getting some website email. I can't really do anything more about that other than pay a bunch of money to send email through a paid email service. Even that doesn't get all of your email through Gmail, Yahoo, Aol and the other big email providers. Thanks to all the rotten spammers out there who never give up.

The automatic video embedder I added to this forum has over 120 different video embed codes it can recognize, but Rumble isn't one of them.

That embed link could work if the video embedder programmer would add it as an option. He may one of these days. I cleaned out the script code and kept the embed link only in your response because that's probably all that would be needed. Not sure if the regular links you share would work with embedder script even if he wanted to add it based on how his code appears to work.

No big deal. If it gets added one of these versions I will make a mention of it.
