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.

I've been fartin' around painting lures with spray paint cans for about a year now and finally picked up an inexpensive airbrush set.  Needless to say, I've been holed up in the basement on and off for a week.  :)  Here's a photo of the first set, not yet clear-coated.

The Tennessee Shad doesn't render right because the of the shadow in the photo, but it, actually, turned out just the way I wanted.

LOW (Lake of the Woods) Cisco needs to be a bit lighter, but it's not bad for a first try and I've got to mix a little better purple for the alewife color but it's been a fun learning experience.

  Look good to me John.  I bet they catch fish.   :)

I have had my eye on all the airbrush stuff for a while now too. Those things look awesome! What spray gun did you end up getting. I'm thinking about getting a really cheap one to start off just to get my feet wet.

Thanks, Jeff! :)

@Schooly I purchased the relatively inexpensive Master Airbrush Kit.  It's a pretty good system, though the water separator off the compressor lets some condensation in the lines, from time to time, when the compressor gets hot.  I'm pretty happy with it, overall.  The guy at Dakota Lakes Tackle has some nice tutorial videos here.  He also sells some of the best unpainted blanks I've found.
