Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, Ohio /

A fiberglass Skeeter bass boat, Yamaha SHO 250 VMX, power poles, $500 Dobyns rods, $400 Daiwa reels, forward-facing sonar, rain gear rated by resistance to hurricane force winds, $99 fishing pants, $20 crankbaits, $350 glide baits, and a fishing jersey of indistinguishable color because it’s plastered with sponsor logos.

A recent measure approved by the Pennsylvania Game Commission board trashes the seriousness of chronic wasting disease.
For years, we’ve been told that moving high-risk parts — spine, brain, lymph nodes (which are located in the neck), etc. — out of a disease area poses a serious risk of spreading CWD into new areas.
