Loren Crosbie caught the only limit to win the Michiana Singles season opener Sunday at Lake Wawasee.

After taking home the Best Freshwater Soft Lure category at ICAST 2025, the Z-Man SWAG LT swimbait has officially hit retailers nationwide—arriving just in time for one of the most important big-bass windows of the year: the prespawn.
The Michigan DNR is concerned about a grass carp discover in the St. Joseph River in Berrien County.
A bow angler harvested a 33-pound grass carp July 7 near the Buchannan Dam. Tissue samples from the fish were submitted to a laboratory at Southern Illinois University to determine its reproductive status. Although grass carp findings are not unusual in this river, the lab results confirmed the fish was a reproductively-viable grass carp, which is cause for concern.

Kevin VanDamAs much as I love power fishing techniques, youll see a drop-shot rig in my hands just about any time Im fishing Michiana lakes during the summer.
In fact, its the best way to catch bass on natural lakes this time of year and one that Ive done very well with on places like Klinger, Gull and even Grand Traverse Bay.
Bass will school and suspend just off the bottom over the deep grass flats of our lakes, so a drop-shot is ideal for catching them.
