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.

The Michigan Natural Resources Commission Thursday approved several fishing regulations at its meeting this week, but rejected a Division of Fish and Wildlife proposal that would allow bass tournaments on some larger lakes earlier in the season.
The bass proposal called for special permits that would allow tournament groups to hold bass in livewells during competition before the regular season opener on specified lakes.
However, the Commission did approve other regulation changes noted below.
Indiana DNR Looking for Trail Camera Volunteers for Deer Study
- Details
(Provided by Indiana DNR)
The Indiana DNR is looking for volunteers for a new study called "Snapshot IN" that will use trail cameras to gather information on Indiana wildlife.
Volunteers must have at least 10 acres and be willing to set up a trail camera provided by the DNR on their property this fall. The DNR hopes to find between 20 and 100 volunteers, according to wildlife biologist Shawn Rossler.
"Gathering accurate data on the distribution and relative abundance of wildlife species statewide can be extremely challenging for biologists," Rossler said. "Working with citizen scientists, the DNR hopes to understand how animals are using various land types in Indiana."
Snapshot IN will run during October and November, when many wildlife species are active.
The DNR will provide each landowner with the same camera model, with the same settings.
