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.

Big baits work.  I carry 10 inch worms, 10 inch lizards, and now GY has a 12 inch worm too. 

If you remember, there was a story in Bassmaster a few years ago about a guy who was studying bass behavior in an observation pond behind his house.  He witnessed a bass come out of the water and grab a robin that was at the edge of the pond.  That really made me believe that bass are nothing more than a freshwater shark.  They are opportunistic feeders.

My friend and i went to a pond down the road from where we live and the HAD tons of leapard frogs around there ponds and we would just hook them with a little octopus hook in the nose and cast them next to the cat tails and they would swim on top and then all of a sudden sploosh, no more frog, but one big bass! soo they do bit. also if u go on youtube u kand find videos where people feed bass live chipmunks, mice, and rats.

I've caught 8" bass on Ole Monster worms in Michigan....

One time I was fishing down a bank and I spied a walnut sitting on a log overhanging the edge of the water. I looked around and thought ...that's strange, I don't see a walnut tree! A chipmunk came down and started nibbling on the walnut. All of a sudden SPLOOSH, a pike took the chipmunk right off the log. I turned to my partner and said "Wow did you see that!" A few seconds later the pike came up and set the walnut back up on the log....

FISH HARD!!!

Danny... you should stick to the 7" ones until you're a little older.

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.
