D&R Sports Center will host its annual Spring Fishing Show Friday and Saturday with a stellar lineup of seminar speakers.
If Matt Arey’s boat number at this year’s Bassmaster Classic is any indication of good things to come, then #22 might just lead to first place. Arey is the ultimate ‘girl dad’ and his two young daughters love Taylor Swift’s hit song “22”.
The Jitterbug was among Fred Arbogast’s signature creations and now a few iconic anglers are putting their signature on the Jitterbug as part of a collaborative effort to mark Arbogast’s election this year to the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.

While I was being filmed for a Bass Pro Shops commercial, local onlookers walked onto their docks and began asking me about the use of a baitcaster.
VanDam shows how he adjusts centrifugal drag on his Quantum EXO.
I never could get the hang of how to use a baitcaster, one man said. How do you make it look so easy?
Its a comment I get at sport shows and public appearances. People say they cant use baitcast gear and prefer spincast and spinning reels that are easier to use.
But baitcast gear gives you a mechanical advantage over other types of reels and the utmost control in making precision presentations.
You just have to give it a chance. With a proper setup and a little practice, modern baitcast technology delivers fewer backlashes than the reels we had four or five years ago.
The Michigan DNR reminds everyone the annual Winter Free Fishing Weekend is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16-17, 2013, when residents and non-residents alike can fish without a license, though all other fishing regulations still apply.
