Fertile Grass Carp Found in St. Joseph River
- Details
The Michigan DNR is concerned about a grass carp discover in the St. Joseph River in Berrien County.
A bow angler harvested a 33-pound grass carp July 7 near the Buchannan Dam. Tissue samples from the fish were submitted to a laboratory at Southern Illinois University to determine its reproductive status. Although grass carp findings are not unusual in this river, the lab results confirmed the fish was a reproductively-viable grass carp, which is cause for concern.
Dream Shot Ideal for Michiana Lakes
- Details
By Kevin VanDam
Kevin VanDamAs much as I love power fishing techniques, youll see a drop-shot rig in my hands just about any time Im fishing Michiana lakes during the summer.
In fact, its the best way to catch bass on natural lakes this time of year and one that Ive done very well with on places like Klinger, Gull and even Grand Traverse Bay.
Bass will school and suspend just off the bottom over the deep grass flats of our lakes, so a drop-shot is ideal for catching them.
