Commentary: Ohio’s Columbus National Fishing Expo never disappoints
My February has meant the National Fishing Expo for the last several years. I represent Ohio Outdoor News as I sell subscriptions for the company. However, the Expo has become more than a three-day job for me.
It’s a family reunion where I don’t have to feed anyone. It’s handshakes and laughter with old friends and a chance to form ‘once a year’ new ones. While I never seem to have a chance to explore the show, talking about the magazine with Expo visitors is a great opportunity.

That’s not usually the case. When we have a real Michigan winter like this year, most anglers are still ice fishing in March. Via photoperiodism, fish sense that the days are getting longer, so ice fishing tends to pick up again in March.

What is lake ice made out of? There’s more to it than you may realize
What is lake ice made out of? The easy answer is frozen water, but there’s more to it.
At the beginning of winter, the first ice is primary ice (skim ice). It’s thin, and ice crystals orient horizontally. Next up is secondary ice. These ice crystals form perpendicular (vertically) to primary ice, and the ice grows downward. The third type of ice is super-imposed ice.
