It’s simple math really: Zero eggs equals zero fish for future stocking programs.
So, the spring walleye and steelhead egg collections by the Michigan DNR are critical components of the strategy for maintaining world-class fishing opportunities in the Great Lakes State.
Nearly fifty years have now passed since the first paddletail swimbaits splashed down in U.S. waters, the earliest designs having likely originated in France. Today, paddletails have almost singlehandedly rewritten the rules of soft plastics engagement. Fans of catching bass, crappie, walleye and inshore slams nearly always cast these ingenious tail-driven baits, each version capable of different retrieve speeds, actions and the almighty thump.

When it comes to crossbows there seems to be three schools of thought.
The first is that the equipment shouldnt be considered normal archery equipment and the mere mention of one could result in a profanity laced tirade. The second is more based on the curiosity side. This group is intrigued, but not overly anxious, to change from their existing hunting gear. The third says now that its legal; Im going to give it a try.

Nows the time when Michiana anglers should be thinking about spinnerbait fishing our northern natural lakes.

There is no better bait for catching big fish this time of year. Weve got a lot of fronts coming through and those weather changes tend to invigorate the bass. We also get a little more wind and that makes spinnerbait fishing even better.
The bass are moving off the deep structure and onto the flats. Instead of cruising the deep weedlines, they often suspend on the grassy drops and are moving toward shallower water.
