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.

2007 Fall DK Open is Saturday September 29

Now, we need to figure out what lake to fish based on how many can fish that day. This is all a compromise that meets the most members' needs while keeping in mind that fall is for the mid and west Michigan members to have a chance to participate without having to travel too far.

Now lets pick the lake with one last poll so I can see how many members really will be coming.

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.

I can't make it.  I have to perform a wedding ceremony.  Will miss you all.  Have a blast.

I picked Ovid because that's a lake I can actually make it to for a one day trip.

I voted for Muskegon Lake because since I have never fished over there, I want to get the full west side experience and maybe catch a few nice smallies.

The 29th works for me. I voted for Chippewa for the opportunity to fish something different.

Cy

The 29th works fine for me...at this point.  I voted for Ovid, only because I have never fished it before and would like too.  The rest of them I have fished.  All the lakes except for Muskegon, Muskegon is closest, are about the same distance for me so I don't care.

Voted for Ovid, don't think I can do anywhere else because parents are out of town unless I can catch a ride with someone who is going from the Lansing area. If that's the case, I don't care where we fish.

spinninbug

Ohhhh poop,  I can't make it,  I knew it was going to be the 29th.  I guess I will just have to try to make it to the spring open.  I would have voted for muskegon just to be fair though even though Hamlin would have been my first choice. 

You all have fun and I'll watch for the results and stories about all the fun ya'll had! 

I will be thinking about you while I'm fishing wamplers in brooklyn.

I voted for Chippewa for a chance to fish new water, but it doesn't matter which lake. I will be there.

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

1javelin

Voted for Muskegon because I really like it.  Will be there as a boater wherever it is though.  Looking forward to it. ;)
Live to fish, Fish to live.

FISH HARD!!!

Don't lie...you guys just think you can win on Muskegon!  ;) ;D

Nah, I prefer to go to Hamlin but decided to go with muskegon because it had some votes. $ is not involved in the DK open I believe.

FISH HARD!!!

Cy

T, Someone has to give you a hard time.  ;)  It might as well be me!

I am surprised the that Chippewa Lake has received any votes at all.  I didn't think anyone would be interested going to an unknown.

No prob Cy, its all in good fun. I think Ovid is locked with 10 votes, most people going have likley voted already.

FISH HARD!!!

I'll pick the lake Tuesday night. Traffic has been low here for almost two weeks. I want to make sure everyone who is interested has a chance to vote (if they want to). As they say in my work place employee of the month contest, number of votes is not the only factor (but it doesn't hurt).

And make sure everyone... if you're not going, please don't vote and skew the results.  Man, I wish I could be there.  Grr.  ;D

Rev,

Don't you have a stunt double that can do weddings or something like that? ;D  You can always try and get the new couple to move their wedding to the weekend after.  That wouldn't be a big deal...right???  ;D

Well, there is always spring.
