Forty Major League Fishing (MLF) anglers qualified for the fourth annual Redcrest Championship held March 8 through March 12 at North Carolina’s Lake Norman.
Much like the anglers’ varied lure choices, Mother Nature took full advantage of the opportunity to throw everything in her tackle box at the anglers.
“We started with seven kids and one bow,” remembered Jim Moyer. “Our target was a cardboard box on a hillside behind the school.”
Moyer, the coach for the New Lexington Archery team in Ohio, smiled as he recalled the humble beginnings of the school’s archery program.
On Feb. 18, New Lexington Middle School hosted a fun shoot that saw 280 young archers from across 12 school districts, one church, and a group of homeschooled students do their best from 10 and 15 meters.
Avena was the featured professional bass fisherman at the Vance Outdoors 21st annual Boat and Fishing Show Open House held from Friday, Feb. 24 to Sunday, Feb. 26.

Another outstanding young angler from the Ohio junior ranks will be pursuing his college education while a member of a collegiate bass fishing team. Braden McNamara, of Delaware, Ohio, has signed a national letter of intent to attend Carson-Newman (C-N) University in Jefferson City, Tenn.
Thousands of anglers converged at the recent three-day National Fishing Expo held in Columbus from Feb. 10-12, and they were looking for deals on everything from baits to boats.
Three days working in the Ohio Outdoor News booth may limit my retail opportunities, but not my “re-tale” ones.
This rugged territory is not your interstate highway to a paved boat ramp belonging to a state park complete with a parking lot full of painted lanes for pickup trucks towing fancy bass boat on trailers. Float tubes, kayaks, and small aluminum car-toppers rule these waters, but improvements are on the way.
South Zanesville, Ohio — Year two for one of the best events that combines kids and fishing is set to take place on Sunday March 5. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. that day, a Hooked on Fishing (HOF) event will take place at the Foxfire School located at 2805 Pinkerton Lane in Zanesville, Ohio.
