FMany boaters are hesitant to do more to care for a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) than occasionally spraying it down with water.

Michigan offers website for tournament scheduling, reporting catch data
The Michigan DNR recently completed development of a web application designed to allow bass tournament directors to schedule events at DNR access sites and to report their catch results online.
The Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System (MFTIS) is now available to tournament directors for use in scheduling their 2014 tournaments. This application gives tournament directors the ability to view other bass tournaments scheduled on a selected waterbody, so they can plan appropriately.
