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.

West Michigan Power Pole Tour = Big Turn Out and Big Payback!

The first West Michigan Power Pole recently kicked off on Muskegon Lake. This inaugural event drew in 56 teams from Michigan and surrounding states. Despite the extreme high winds teams were able to get out and find the fish, and find the fish they did. 49 of the 56 teams weighed in at least one fish and over 30 limits were brought to the scales.

Check out the results story on GreatLakesBass.com Tournament News.

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.
