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.

Hotel in/near Trenton

I am getting ready to fish my first BFL tournament.  This will also be my first time on the Detroit River.  Besides being a little nervous, I am trying to find a place to stay close by.  I will only be in the hotel for 8 hours so it doesn't make sense to pay the high dollar but I don't want to catch any bugs while I am there either.  Half tempted to stay in the back of my truck.

Does anyone have any recommendations for hotels near Trenton?  I am looking to book by tomorrow evening.
Thanks

The only place I've really stayed there when I was fishing those tournaments and had my boat with me was the Best Western on West Road right at Exit 32.

I don't know anything really about the other places in the area. Pretty much everyone I knew stayed there 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.

2nd the Best Western...Not the best but not bad and pretty much everyone is there so it is usually easy to link up with your partner...They also in the past provided security for the boats...Lots of places to get coffee and food close by...I think there is a BFL discount if you tell them when you reserve...
If you want to upgrade a bit I think it is a Hampton inn that sits right behind it...but it is more money..

That might be a Holiday Inn Express now behind it. Does cost more from what I saw.

I ended up staying at the Super 8...  There was a syringe on the floor in the hallway.  People were coming and going all night.  I checked out at 3:30 and there were a few people in the parking lot asking me if I was going to take them fishing.  It was pretty intense.  Next BFL even on the Detroit River isn't until August.  Will need to check into the Best Western.

djkimmel

I guess I should have added: DON'T STAY AT THE SUPER 8!!!!! Oh well, there's always something to learn along the way in the bass tournament game... better luck next time!
