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.

Sometimes I like a little classic rock or jam bands like Dave Matthews Band. For tournaments sometimes I won't listen to anything and just try to prepare my mind for what I need to accomplish and talk some strategy with my partner

stackenem

Country boy here. When the tunes are on.

I usually crank up the classic rock, heavy metal and some other rock-related stuff.

When I was fishing tournaments, I did mix in Classical music because I read listening to a certain Mozart song made people smarter on tests afterwards... I don't know if I fished any better but it was kind of soothing.

I listen to all sorts of stuff in the truck on the way to the ramp but I have a pretty nice setup in my Boat and Crank Metallica, Rush, Tool, Three doors down, etc etc while waiting to launch until I get to my first spot...I have it all setup on an IPOD.....


BIGSHOW

Alright, got some rockers on here. Classic rocker here to. Zeppelin, black sabbath, ac~dc. I keep it off when fishing usually. Then crank it up!!!!

Five finger death punch

I think another kid tried that on me once in, like, 4th or 5th grade..? It was a short fight. I'm still alive... ;D

Yeah... but what kind of music do you listen too?

;D :D

Actually, my favorite for a long time was Save yourself by Stabbing Westward but I seemed to be the only fan. Lately, I've liked some screaming song by Red ..? I think called Feed the Machine..? No idea what it's about but I like the sound of it - like 2 cups of coffee! Only song I know by them thanks to Ryan Said who was posting during 2011 about all kinds of music by bands I've never heard of while he was fishing the Elite Series. Thanks for this one song Ryan.

Slipkey

Day-to-day I'm an alternative rock guy but when I'm going fishing, my country boy comes back, along with my need for a heavy metal fix.  One of three songs starts off nearly every fishing trip, depending on my mood:  "Much too young to feel this da*n old", "If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne" or "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. :)

Firefighter Jeff

   I like all kinds of music.  I basically set my phone up with all of my favorites through the years.  I have everything from Chuck Berry to Metallica.  Such as, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, America, Boston, 38 Special, Gaga, Wild Cherry, The Doors, Twisted Sister, Talking heads, Shakira, REO, No Doubt, Johnny Cash, Monkees, KISS,  Katy Perry, Hot Chocolate, Grand Funk, Go Go's, Flo Rida, ELO.   
    See what I mean???   ;D      Some of the artists I only have a song or two.

djkimmel

The more we learn about hoosiers... ?? ::)

Now that I think about it... maybe it's firemen?!? My old fishing partner had a strange and possibly eerie mix of music too and he was a fire marshall...

Well... maybe not a fire 'marshall' ? He always told me to quit calling him that! ;D

I did remember an old tradition I had in the early tournament years - I always played Nugent - Weekend Warriors on the way out of the work parking lot towards the next event! I believe my stereo at the time was deemed a noise nuisance around parts of Owosso and Lansing... kids ::)...

there is a fairly new song out there that seems to be perfect for this (especially since I added my new bluewater led's)
Light it up, up, up  Light it up, up , up I'm on Fire!!!!!!!
