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.

Some New Prototypes

Just a few prototypes I finished up today.

Deep Divers- Hand cut and shaped body, hand twisted .40 gauge brass wire line tie and hook hangers, hand cut and shaped G-10 "circuit board" lip. I'm conservatively guessing 12+, but won't know for sure for a week or two.  I don't know what pattern I'll paint these yet, but they'll probably be something for the "big water".

Shallow Divers- Hand cut and shaped body, hand twisted .40 gauge brass wire line tie and .40 gauge stainless steel hook hangers, and "circuit board" lip (leftovers from the "bloody thumb" incident from a couple years back  :D). The top two have a tight to medium wobble and should get down around 2-3 feet on a medium retrieve. The bottom bait will run 3-5 and has a nice medium wide wobble.  I'm not sure how I'll paint these up yet.

Pretty sweet.  I hand carved a couple last week.  But don't have anything else other than the bodies.  If you are at the open I 'll have a ton of questions for you.
Got one!
