What's New?
Man, you talk about a close finish! It doesn’t get much closer than what the Arjay’s Classic experienced at Paw Paw Lake on Saturday.
The DNR wants to say "thank you" to Michigan hunters so it’s hosting Hunter Appreciation: Deer Drop-In Mondays at locations across the state, and all hunters are invited to drop-in and say hello.
New Gear
The ClapTail™ 110 is a topwater bait with a metal prop and back blade that collide when retrieved, producing a unique two-tone fish-attracting sound.

Saying Goodbye to a Legend
- Details
Elkhart, Ind. angler Don Rank will be missed.If you’re a river bass angler or enjoy fishing Michiana lakes, you probably gained some of your knowledge from Don Rank.
Even though you may not know him, the expertise he has passed along to generations of local anglers has somehow made it into your tackle box.
Sadly, the Michiana fishing legend from Elkhart was laid to rest this week after an extended illness at the age of 71.
The rest of us geezers will remember him as one of the region’s fiercest bass tournament competitors and a guy who just loved fishing.
More Michigander Hunters Try Crossbows
- Details
(Provided by Michigan DNR)
Crossbow use in Michigan is on the rise.Although the overall number of hunters in Michigan has been on a slight decline, the DNR reports that a recent survey shows growth in one method of deer hunting – crossbows.
In the past, only hunters with disabilities had the option to hunt with a crossbow. Beginning in 2009, crossbows were allowed in most areas of Michigan during the archery deer season in an attempt to expand hunting opportunities, retain existing hunters and recruit new hunters. Crossbow hunters were required to obtain a free crossbow stamp to determine the number of hunters who took advantage of the new method.
In 2009, the opportunity to use a crossbow was extended only to hunters 50 years of age or older in the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula, while hunters of any age could use crossbows in the southern Lower Peninsula. In 2010 the age restriction was eliminated statewide.
