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”.
Jacob Wheeler set out to develop a new swimbait with the product engineers at Rapala, but he didn’t want a situational tool – he wanted a soft swimbait that would catch fish from coast to coast, 12 months out of the year.

Bass fishing has undergone quite an evolution the past 50 years.
In his new book released this month, The Fish That Changed America, author Steve Price provides insight as to how bass fishing rose to its current level of popularity and tells the story through the eyes of people who helped make it happen.
Price includes chapters that include interviews with lure designers, boat builders and legendary anglers as well as one with Ray Scott, the founder of B.A.S.S and arguably the man who triggered the evolution.
The book covers Michianas role, too, as Price outlines the Heddon Companys development of bass lures. Heddon was founded in Dowagiac, Mich. and the first lure was tested at Mill Pond just outside of town.
An entire chapter was devoted to an interview with the late Trig Lund of Dowagiac, who served as vice president of Heddon for 23 years.

If you havent oiled or sighted the gun, aired out the hunting clothes, or scouted a place to deer hunt, you may be making a mistake.
The firearms season opens next weekend in both states.
Despite Indiana biologists cautions of a smaller herd this year, reports of good numbers of bow season deer have been coming into check stations.
Thats not to say todays deer populations match the good ol days, but it sounds as though theyre coming back and hunting conditions are setting up well for hunters on both sides of the state line.
