Don’t Overlook Red Eye Shad This Season
- Details
By Kevin VanDam
KVD with the Strike King Red Eye ShadWhile this is the season for fishing blade baits like Silver Buddies or working suspending jerkbaits, don’t overlook the lipless crankbait for triggering reactionary strikes on Michiana lakes.
It’s really effective during these warming trends like we’ve been having recently and works when the water temperature is in the 50s and upper 40s.
I’ll get on outer edge of bigger flats of natural lakes with some vegetation and work a Red Eye Shad from Strike King Lure Company.
Michigan Takes Action; Limits Antlerless Permits
- Details
(Provided by Michigan DNR)
Michigan DNR Director Keith Creagh signed an emergency order this week that decreases antlerless license purchase limits for deer management units (DMUs) where the most EHD-related die-offs have occurred. Unfortunately, this has been a common site in Michiana ponds, swamps, creeks and lakes. EHD inflicted deer often seek comfort in water to offset high fevers they suffer while battling the deadly virus. (Michigan DNR photo)
Effective immediately, the purchase limit for DMU 486 is five private land antlerless deer hunting licenses per hunter. Also effective immediately, the public antlerless license purchase limit per hunter is two for each of the following DMUs: 012 (Branch), 034 (Ionia), 039 (Kalamazoo), 041 (Kent), 044 (Lapeer), 076 (Sanilac), 078 (Shiawassee), 079 (Tuscola) and 080 (Van Buren).
