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.

I'll be in Tulsa for Work
So, Hell yes I'm going

Last time they were there in 2013
Cliff Pace won

I'm going there to attend the Conservation Summit being held in conjunction with that Classic. I hope we don't overshine the Classic. Big stuff! :D

I will be there Saturday and Sunday, and attending the weigh ins after meetings. I have to give a presentation with our Fisheries Chief Jim Dexter during the Conservation Summit.

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.

Boondoggle.  Good job on that one.  Keep this up and people are going to thing you work for the DNR or are going to run for Governor.  :)

People think all kinds of things. Much of which is untrue. No MDNR job for me - I couldn't do what I do if I worked for them, and I am 100% not running for any office in the public sector! The things people say and do regarding elected officials would seem to cure anyone from wanting to run for office! Crazy...

If you mean 'going fishing more' this year... then yes, that is (hopefully) true!

Well I just came home from Tulsa
It was 57 today and sunny, and they are going to be into the 70's this weekend

My job down there starts on the 7th
And I'm taking a weeks vacation before the job starts.
So I should be there on Mon the 29th or Tue, Gives me time to settle in and check things out

I'd guess this years classic will be a whole different game over the 2013 classic
It should be allot warmer, They could be spawning by then

Should be sweet.
My first classic and I'll have the boat with me
