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.

Thanks for the hard work.  The new board looks good.

Thanks! I appreciate that. Now I need to start posting more again to get more of the past visitors back more often if I can drag them away from facebook and other places...

Actually had a theme I found I liked better, but it had bugs I couldn't easily fix. Hope this works for everyone once they get used to it. Got a few mobile quirks to work out yet.

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 like the new look Dan.  I would like to see the forum section come back to where we used to share info and ideas.  I learned a lot from a lot of good men and women on here.

I would too. It took me a long time to get the new website done. Other people's websites came first. I may have a little more time this year to start posting more again. Won't be easy getting lots of people back off the social stuff, but we can try. Many of them are still around. I hope to see some of them at the upcoming outdoor shows.

It is tough to pull them away from Facebook, but once you get regulars, they are the reason people come back.  BBC has been one of the few to actually succeed against Facebook.  My board died as my older members started passing away.  I'm not on Facebook, so you can count on me being around.

Yes, I was never as big as BBC, but it had been pretty regular around here before social media. I can probably get them to check in a little more often by posting more regularly.

Glad you're around. Everyone counts. I know others are stopping in and I remind them they can always post something. Everyone has something to say, and others are interested.

Once some regulars start posting again, things will pick up.  There are always Lurkers sitting back that just enjoy reading.  Nothing wrong with that but need people posting for there to be something to read.  I'm hoping you will be able to muster people back in to participating.

I worked on it some with members who stopped by the booth this past weekend at the Ultimate Fishing Show. Now, on to Outdoorama.
