Break out that rod and tacklebox: Michigan’s trout and Lower Peninsula inland walleye and northern pike seasons open Saturday, April 25.
Many boaters are hesitant to do more to care for a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) than occasionally spraying it down with water. This streamlined approach is often due to a fear of damaging the life jacket. But the truth is that proper cleaning actually helps maintain the integrity of a life jacket and can extend its life.
When every cast matters, line performance makes all the difference. Enter Berkley GinClear, Berkley’s premium fluorocarbon, delivering a super smooth feel, unmatched flexibility, and ultra-low memory in a high-performance package built for serious anglers. Designed to maximize casting performance and eliminate the frustrations of traditional fluorocarbon lines, GinClear makes every cast feel like the first one out of the box.

The Michigan DNR will make approximately the same number of public-land antlerless deer licenses available to hunters this fall as last.
Private-land licenses, however, will decrease by about 25 percent, most significantly in southern Michigan.
The DNR will make 70,550 licenses available for public land, down slightly from last years 70,750. A total of 483,400 private-land licenses will be available, down from 637,900 in the 2012 season.
An overall decrease in antlerless licenses was recommended in many deer management units (DMUs) in anticipation of increased adult deer mortality and low fawn recruitment due to the prolonged winter, said DNR deer and elk program leader Brent Rudolph.
