Michiana Boat and Sport Show opens Friday with more exhibitsNine area boat dealers, Canadian lodges, charter captains, fishing seminars and local club exhibits highlight the Michiana Boat and Sports Show that opens next weekend at the South Bend Century Center.
It runs Friday (3-9 p.m.), Saturday (9-9) and Sunday (10-3). Admission is $3 for adults and free to kids under 12. Parking fees (45) at the Century Center will be waived on Sunday.
The event is sponsored by the Michiana Walleye Club with all proceeds (after expenses) going to the club’s fish stocking fund and other club projects.
This is the second year for MWA’s outdoors show at the Century Center and it promises to be considerably bigger.
“We’ve added the lower floor (another 16,000 square feet) in addition to the upper level we had last year, and we’ve filled it with exhibitors,” said show promoter Dale Brindley. “We’re just about sold out.”
Area fishing experts will share tips in seminars for bass and walleye fishing and modern day electronics use.

Support is growing for a new access on Eagle and Juno lakes but the battle is expected to be a tough one.
The Eagle Lake Improvement Association has again contracted with an attorney and is expected to raise objections and stall the DNR development as it did with a larger site last fall.
The Michigan would like to purchase another property between the two Cass County lakes near Edwardsburg and will make a presentation of a preliminary site design to the Ontwa Township Planning Commission Feb. 5.
The meeting will be at the township hall, located across from Lunker’s, at 7 p.m. Area sportsmen are urged to attend to show their support and arrive early to get a seat. The hall is small and opponents of the access are expected to show up in force.
Representatives from the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, Michigan Bass Federation, Michiana Walleye Association and other sportsmen groups are expected to voice support for the project at the Feb. 5 meeting.
