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.

Jigging for salmon in the west side drowned river mouths. The salmon are coming in and staging for the runs up the rivers. Vertical jigging. Seeing the first fish of the season which usually lasts about 3 weeks. The biggest would push 25lbs. Caught them on 14 lbs. Vicious Pro Elite Fluorocarbon. These fish come fresh out or 30 feet of water and it's a battle royale !!

What type of jig are you using?

I am working  Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday then heading to Roseville for the BASS Elite Series meeting Wednesday night. Plan on being over there until Sunday. Then I work Mon through Wed. Have Thursday off and my son is then coming with his wife and new baby for the Labor Day weekend. I may miss the rest of the jigging season.

Dan did you get the email that the meeting is in Dearborn?....

Dan

Yes I did. Thanks though for the heads up. Plan on leaving tomorrow from the West Side and will drive to Metro to investigate the scene and see who is hanging around that ramp. At around noonish we'll eat then head to Roseville to check in and then off to the Carhart Center to register around 3:00 pm.  Hopefully, I've got everything packed.
