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.

Hey!?! I made a bass tournament angler happy!!!!!!!!!! My life is complete now! All goals met!

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.

You won't avoid the duck whoppers, like myself.   Season opens the 29th this year .    Bring your helmets LOL

That is the one less than ideal thing.

But they are mostly up in the wood along the river and we did give them a pretty good first light shoot last night by flushing the ducks out of the fog on the 'safe' side of the lake. They just didn't figure that out. If you go up the Torch River, just move on through that lower part between the curves and the houses a little quick so they don't get too ornery I guess. We should all be able to share.

Ok I guess I am no longer going as a boater for this tournament.  I screwed up my boat again,  big waves caused a little separation on the two halves of my boat.

I've got a tube of super stupid glue or some window caulk.  I keep my machine at work together with it, and some hope  :D

Look on the bright side. Upper and lower half is better than front and rear half. It must go far beyond pulling the rub rail rope and tightening screws to put you out like that. Bummer man.

Lets just say the only thing holding the top on is gravity!  I also think a stringer or two came loose, lots of snaps and pops when you walk around on the deck.

That's not good. I'll still make sure you can still get out fishing.

Same goes for anyone else who wants to fish. If you sign up, I will work something out. But you have to put your name on the list (post on the sign up thread) for me to plan for you.

That's bad. Somebody needs to slow down in big waves?  That had to have been a really crappy feeling being in the boat at that point.

Aaron, is your insurance going to fix the boat or is it still under warranty?
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!
