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.

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.

Ok everyone, here is your opportunity to have some input on what you would like for a BFL schedule.? Anthony Wright is our tournament director this year and will be up here next year.? He is asking for your input so that he can have the best possible schedule.? He would like you to send him an e-mail listing your five choices for lakes in the order you would like to have them.? Keep in mind that they would like to start in early June so the first lake on the schedule cannot be Lk. St Clair or Detroit River.?

Anthony's e-mail is awright@FLWOutdoors.com
My e-mail is kleppert@net-link.net if you have any problems.

Now is your opportuntiy to help pick a schedule so send your lakes in to Anthony ASAP, he needs to have a schedule picked within the next two weeks.

Don't forget to join the TBF of Michigan, the future of bass fishing in Michigan depends on it.

Thank you,

Pat Kleppert

I was thinking it's too bad there's a dam between Wixom and Sanford and the water still looked roughly the same, that utopia could hold a major event otherwise.

We've often dreamed about that scenario..i've got to believe if it were connected you would see a "VERY MAJOR" event there every year.  ahhh..dare to dream! ::)

A lot of smallies, but those are the lakes we have.  I sent my e-mail and also included that the lakes don't matter as much as not fishing the same body of water more than twice.  The last few years the Michigan division has looked like the Erie divison.  Some diversity will create good competion and a good points race.  It would be great if enough people would travel to support a schedule like this.  Like St. Clair on the canadien opener, would also like to see the division get started on opening weekend just to get some room between events.  Also aked that we don't have to fish the same water as guys on day four of a stren event, I don't want to have to do that.

Like Matt says, make sure you email Anthony your suggestions at awright@flwoutdoors.com. I don't believe he has the time to come here and read just yet because of the travel he does.

Some of the FLW Outdoors staff have been on here reading off and on, but just to make sure he gets it in a timely manner, please email him. Thanks!

That's fine too Roy. I'm very glad you are all posting here for our viewing pleasure. Just wanted to cover all bases.

Actually, I sent mine in, but forgot to post them here. I'll have to dig out the email and post them here tomorrow.
