Michigan’s woods are beginning to stir this spring — and so is the science behind wild turkey management. This year, wildlife science in the state is getting a major boost. For the first time in Michigan history, researchers are launching a long-term, large-scale study of wild turkey populations.
There’s something about early spring tournaments in Northern Indiana as you never quite know what you’re going to get. Between the weather, water conditions, and how fast things can change this time of year, every decision feels magnified.
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.

TULSA, Okla. The bass on Grand Lake O the Cherokees are in transition, and all of the 55 anglers in the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro are doing a decent job staying ahead of them.
But on Friday, one angler a local favorite who lives right down the road did it better than anyone else.
Jason Christie, a Park Hill, Okla., pro who lives just an hour away from the lake, brought five bass to the scales that weighed 20 pounds, 14 ounces and took the opening-round lead in the Super Bowl of professional bass fishing. Alabamian Greg Vinson, who almost missed the event due to the lingering effects of a concussion, is second with 18-1, and Texas pro Alton Jones is third with 17-13.

VanDam discusses lure colors.
The hint of spring has a lot of us thinking about open water fishing even if its still February.
Theres nothing like preparing early, which includes restocking the tackle boxes with those new baits that we just KNOW are going to produce big fish this coming season.
It doesnt matter whether youre a river steelhead fisherman, a big lake troller, panfish angler or nutty bass fisherman, we all have a fascination for new ways to trick fish into biting.
