Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

I was told about this last year and it works..I wrote it down and found it last night so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

When traveling in the mornings or evenings with our boats, I know we've all driven through the BUG CLOUDS and ended up with insect carcass all over our boats, well an easy way to get the majority of them off is to use a fabric softener dryer sheet.  Won't scratch your boat but abrasive enough to pull those bugs right off.  Obvioulsy other cleaners work well but this is quick and easy, I keep a few in a zip lock baggy in my pick-up, then in the morning if I hit some I wipe it quickly before I launch.

What brand bass boat does Martha own???????

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Now that you mention it... that might explain why so many cuties talk to me when I'm in my Ranger verses NOT when I'm not...

As long as we are giving houskeeping tricks here, I use a plastics cup like you get from Taco Bell, the ones with the small bottoms that fit into the cup holders, to keep my old used up plastics in.  Just weigh down the cup with lead in the bottom, cut it to the height you need, and throw it into a cup holder.  No more worms and jigs all over the deck, or ruining your cup holders.

Martha taught me that one, too. ;D
