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.
Nicholas Patnode, 19, and Zander Garrett, 20, were arraigned Monday in Kalkaska County District Court in Kalkaska for multiple wildlife violations that took place throughout Kalkaska County during October-November 2022.
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 Michigan DNR has announced that multiple changes have been made to the state's Master Angler program that recognizes large fish caught by recreational anglers.
To determine whether changes were necessary for the Master Angler program, the DNRs Fisheries Division reviewed entries from the past five years and determined the minimum entry weight and length needed to be updated for several species, including: Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown trout, bullhead, channel catfish, Chinook salmon, coho salmon, crappie, freshwater drum, muskellunge, rainbow trout, rock bass and smallmouth bass.
Has this ever happened to you?
Its mid-summer, youre on the lake, the fish are bitin and your favorite reel begins to act up.
Make your reels feel new again.
Maybe it growls, develops a strange vibration with every turn of the handle, or the spool wont engage.
Something like that happens to me every year. Not that I dont have good reels; I just dont take very good care of them.
Thats why I dropped some off at Moe Ranieris place the other day. In addition to working part-time in the reel department at Lunkers, he has a tackle repair service in his Edwardsburg, Mich. home.
