On this week’s show, Lake Michigan charter captain Dumper Dan Welsch reports mixed-bag catches of big lake trout, steelhead and chinooks topping 25 pounds off Sheboygan and invites listeners to catch the Venetian Boat Parade on July 3 and fireworks on July 4 on the Sheboygan lakefront and enjoy a wood-fired pizza at Prohibition Bistro. Ruffed Grouse and American Woodcock societies Western Great Lakes forest conservation director Jon Steigerwaldt reports spring drumming counts suggest a statewide decline in grouse numbers. Audiologist Dr. Alli Anderson advises listeners to protect their hearing while watching July 4th fireworks and says showering after a swim in a lake can help prevent ear infections.
