If you're reading this, you probably remember your first fish and its impact on your life. Most anglers get their start early on in their lives and the reason is because somebody decided to take them fishing. It's always fun to introduce someone to fishing and the "take a kid fishing" mantra has been stated for years, but the important part is to make the experience enjoyable and catch fish.
An ongoing fish die-off on Lake Macatawa, near Holland in Ottawa County, stems from the virus responsible for causing viral hemorrhagic septicemia, or VHS, the Michigan DNR confirmed.
Abu Garcia has added a new model to the Zenon spinning selection with the Zenon X.
This new model fills the gap by offering the flexibility to fish lightweight finesse style baits while also providing the power to handle heavier baits when needed.

The night began like most of our antique fishing lure collectors monthly meetings at the Heddon museum in Dowagiac.
Things were going slow; a couple of members brought in displays of old fishing lures for show-and- tell, something we do to share historical information with interested collectors.
It was getting late and everyone was about ready to call it a night when two men walked in with an old, dirty Kennedy tackle box.
This 1920s relic was in such bad shape and stunk so bad that we smelled it before we saw it! The odor came from an accumulation of 60 years of dead fish, nightcrawlers, pork-rind juice, and who knows what else.

There are some interesting hunting and fishing regulation proposals coming to Hoosier sportsmen over the next few months.
Perhaps the most interesting and pertinent proposal is a change in next years archery season. The DNR is offering an earlier start for bow hunters only, excluding crossbow shooters.
Its all speculative now, as the DNR will take this proposal and others through the public comment period to receive input.
