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.

It's been 20 years or so since my concrete construction days and my last layoff. Why can't it happen during bass season? I'm not sure if I can bring myself to drill through the ice to catch fish. Of course that might change the hungrier I get ;D

play poker online.  i am in a $25k prize pool right now and it only cost me $5.50 to enter.  started with 5013 players and there are currently 2080 left and of those 2080 i am currently in 123rd place.  We are dead at work so for the last 2 days thats all i have done.  Good thing about my job is i cant get laid off, i just dont get paid for days like this.  heres to hoping i win the top prize of $3208.33 so i can buy more lures and rods and other stuff.  Maybe one day my garage will look like Preston Clarks.  Or at least Benders.

Thats what I do too play alot of online poker and hit the casino once in awhile. Last year I won a couple grand in tournaments and $ tables which paid for alot of my loomis rods and shimano reels.  Im about to make a deposite on Full Tilt to try and duplicate last year. What site are you on McCarter?
FISH HARD!!!

I've been playing the 5 dollar sit n go's on Full Tilt. 

I think we hijacked this thread and turned it into an online poker thread!

Im on pokerstars.net.  tons of tournaments both big and small.  and a bunch of free satellites into money games.  I ended up getting knocked out of that tournament in 148 place but its still paid $11.60.  So i doubled my money.  Plus, there is $0.60 left over for my wife.  wooooo hooooo.

Bad Beats!!!!

Come to think of it.  We are loooooong over due for a GLB Poker tournament.  Last time was a huge success that ended with me doing keg stands solo after everyone left.  It was one of the best times i ever had i am told.  I dont remember anything after my brother in law tried to get someone at the table to cash his paycheck.

Any interest?

" $5.50 to enter.  started with 5013 players "

you boys should quit making worms and start a poker series.  maybe tuesdays at Kent Lake.

back to the layoff topic.   i have notice lots more ice fishermen on my lake during the week when i get home.  the weekend was packed out there.  i have not really seen a lot caught.  a small pike on tip-up once and a while.  guess they just love being outside.  keeps me entertained on the couch watching.  going to have to walk out there one of these days.  i said that last year also.

the ice must be safe there is a Jeep sitting way out on the ice.  brave sole.

if you have a poker tourny send me an invite.  i will come donate. 

back to poker talk.

:D :D :D
