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.

Got your intentions down. Now I need a few more people to post they are coming too!?!

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 spoke with Tackle That Sunday at the CC Invitational. He is going to be there with his boss. I told him I owed him a spankin on his home lake considering he beat me on my home lake !

Less than 10 people possibly coming and only 5 have posted that they're coming so far. Not enough to put on an event. I'd like 15 to 20. Going to give it until this weekend and cancel if no more interest. Hope everyone understands that I don't mind putting on events but want 15-20 people there to make it interesting and fun.

Regardless we are going Dan. This will be the first time in 50 years that ma has been to those lakes.  I think they are all just scared to fish against us lol

If my budget was in better shape right now I might just hold it anyways for less than 10 people. I've never been to either lake. Maybe next year if another 3 or 4 boats don't sign up. I never heard from spinninbug for sure either. I don't like to count people if they haven't posted on here that they are going...

Got 6 bucks and a big flock of turkey running the property so I think I will be bow hunting instead. Looks like your off the hook Matt for doing something dumb!!!!!! :D :D :D

Probably a better use of your time for now considering less than 10 people wanting to fish. Could someone let Tackle This! know I'm canceling? He never posted on here but I assume since it was in his backyard he and his wife would fish. I will probably pick a weekend next year and schedule it on the same water and see if we can drum up some more people on a different weekend next year in advance though I thought I gave plenty of advance notice this year.

You gave plenty of notice  Dan.

I'm still convinced they are all scared to fish against me  where I live LOL

I have no number for him. I can see if Luzac has it from the CC invitational and have him call or something, but I cant guarentee that  that idea will work

Would it be possible next year to try something Mid state so us east siders could make it a day trip.   I know others drive a long way for St Clair in the spring.  Even Ovid or something close to your house.  Just a thought.

Guess it didn't matter where it was this year.  There is a CFB Tournament that day I have to attend.


djkimmel

I probably can't schedule around all bass tournaments unless I go even later and then I'm already risking bad weather and people not wanting to go because of weather risk or hunting seasons. I could go more central but then it really wouldn't be a west side event either though Cadillac and Mitchel are more central than some lakes, just a ways North.

Frankly, not sure I can schedule something in the fall on the west side that will make enough people happy to come fish it. There are so many things against it?? I used to get 15 or 20 people though in the old days. Maybe people are just too busy now.

See what I mean. Just too many things to schedule around in the fall I think. If I could get bass season to open the last Saturday in April like it should that would probably kill the spring event too.
