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 inevitably approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest, highly attended fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

As usual, we kick of the 2026 fishing show season with the Ultimate Fishing Show - Detroit! January 8 to the 11th, 2026, at Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi! I'll be there, so you should be there too! Make sure you show up and tell me your latest fishing story!

Outdoorama, the All Outdoors Show and middle sister of the three Ultimate Sport Show Tour events, runs February 19 - February 22 in Novi at the Suburban Collection Showplace again! I need more of you to show up and visit me. Every kind of outdoors person attends, so I need more anglers to talk bass fishing! We can share some new secrets!

The  'grandma' of all outdoor shows - the 81st Ultimate Sport Show - Grand Rapids comes March 12 - 15, 2026 at DeVos Place. Always tons of fishing stuff at this big, big show. You can see multiple Dans! Dan at 2K Jigs, and me! Plus, you can bring me a birthday present! One of those days I turn a year older.

More information is forthcoming as it becomes available from Showspan. Keep up with the latest news, announcements, contests and promotions here, and on Facebook at Ultimate Sport Show Tour.

BONUS: New this year though I won't have a booth there, but for you Pennsylvania anglers and outdoors people - the Ultimate Sport Show - Pittsburgh, running 3 days, January 30 through February 1, 2026! The new event will be held at Monroeville Convention Center at 209 Mall Plaza Blvd., Monroeville PA 15146. If you within a drive, check it out!
