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. 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.
Fourteen Michiana Singles anglers found good fishing on the St. Joseph River at Maggies Landing last Thursday despite muddy water and strong current.

South Bend Boat Show Gains Momentum
- Details
By Louie Stout
It was a year ago when the Michiana Walleye Association banded with a few boat dealers to revitalize the Michiana Boat and Sport Show for South Bend.
Like me, they remembered the good ol’ days when South Bend had a jam-packed, fun-filled outdoors show.
Their inaugural event at the Century Center in late January showed a lot of promise. No, it wasn’t comparable to the excellent shows we saw there and at Notre Dame a few decades ago, but it was a good attempt in the short time they had to put it together.
So good, in fact, that the Michiana Walleye Association plans to step up its game at next month’s show that runs Jan. 31-Feb 2.
B.A.S.S. Launches Championship for Team Anglers; Classic Berth at Stake

Bassmaster Team ChampionshipMany of today’s top professional anglers cut their competitive teeth in team tournaments. But to compete at a higher level, they had to leave their fishing buddies behind and strike out on one of the many draw or pro-am circuits.
With the introduction of the Toyota Bassmaster Team Championship, America’s most successful fishing teams will soon be able to prove their skills against competition from throughout the nation.
“Not only will we crown the national championship team, but we will also provide an opportunity for one outstanding grass-roots fisherman to qualify for the 2015 Bassmaster Classic,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin.
The championship will be held in late fall of 2014 at a date and location to be announced later. Teams from across the country will compete for the Team Championship crown. Following the team portion of the event, the Top 3 pairs of fishermen will be split up and will compete individually, from separate boats, for a berth in the Classic, Akin explained. The format is similar to the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series championship, which has qualified a collegiate angler for the Classic for the past three years.
