D&R Sports Center will host its annual Spring Fishing Show Friday and Saturday with a stellar lineup of seminar speakers.
If Matt Arey’s boat number at this year’s Bassmaster Classic is any indication of good things to come, then #22 might just lead to first place. Arey is the ultimate ‘girl dad’ and his two young daughters love Taylor Swift’s hit song “22”.
The Jitterbug was among Fred Arbogast’s signature creations and now a few iconic anglers are putting their signature on the Jitterbug as part of a collaborative effort to mark Arbogast’s election this year to the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.

D&R Sports Center will hold its 25th annual two-day Spring Fishing & Boat Show March 29-30 at its Kalamazoo store.
Former Bassmaster Classic winner Dave Hite and four of this years Bassmaster Classic qualifiers - Skeet Resse, Ish Monroe, Davy Hite, Kevin VanDam and Jonathon VanDam - will present fishing seminars throughout the weekend.
Other experts giving seminars during the weekend include outdoor television host, Mark Zona, Lake St. Clair guide Gary Gostenik, and Lake Michigan smallmouth guide Chris Noffsinger.
The Berkleys Experience Trailer also will be on hand. The 60-foot trailer offers videos and interactive demonstrations on the latest lines and baits. Berkleys staff will be at D&R Sports to help anglers of all ages and experience levels learn about fishing, Berkley products, and how best to use them to catch more fish.

Angler creel surveys are being conducted by the Indiana DNR on the St. Joseph River below the Elkhart Dam in downtown Elkhart.
The creel surveys began early this month and will last three months. Similar surveys were conducted in 1999 and 2004. Anglers contacted by a DNR creel clerk can help the DNR manage the downtown Elkhart fishery by participating in a two- to three-minute interview.
As the ice fades, walleye are moving upriver to spawn. This creates one of a few early season walleye hot spots in northern Indiana. Early spring is a great time of year for shore anglers to connect with walleye and March can be the best month.
