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.

Lack of vegetation

Is anybody else noticing the little amount of good weeds this year on our lakes. It seems in years past areas I could find slop and thick vegetation are lacking any. Is this because of the cooler summer or are they spraying chemicals more this year??

Waterfoul

There is a new SONAR chemical they are using this year.  It pretty much kills everything throughout the lake, not just where they spray it like the old stuff did.  Sucks doesn't it??

Funny thing is Professional Lake Management is a good customer of mine!  I get on them every time they stop in the store to stop killing my weeds!!  Most of them are good natured and laugh along with me... most of them.
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

I was out on Orion last weekend and there wasn't any lack of weeds.  Lobdell was a little sparse, but I don't know what the norm is there. Hopefully there's enough pads for the frogs only thing next month.  You're coming to that, right??

Yes that does suck. What's the big deal about having at least some weeds. If people want to swim and do recreational sports on the water there is plenty of water without vegetation on our lakes!
