News1. MI: Uranium spill on the Detroit River. No wonder the fall bite’s been the bomb…. 2. MT senator proposes $10K fine for zeebz? > Sen. Mike Cuffe, R-Eureka…submitted the bill request earlier in the day. If enacted, drivers of vehicles found transporting watercraft carrying invasive quagga or zebra mussels could face [a $10K fine] and have their vehicle and trailer impounded until they post bond and the watercraft is cleaned. We always joke about the slap-on-the-wrist fines, but dang that’s aggressive…. 3. Could these new Garmin graphs get ANY bigger?
Okay, not really…but at this rate we might get there one day. 4. Apparently blue-green algae can kill zeebz. > …researchers at Wayne State U found that chemicals produced by blue-green algae, also called cyanobacteria, are toxic to larvae of invasive zebra and quagga mussels. > The goal…is to see if we can possibly isolate a chemical…that would be detrimental to zebra and quagga mussels only…. 5. How slick is this built-in spring bobber? First I had ever seen the Beaver Dam Titanium Tip Stick Rod — had to do a double-take at the post:
I like the idea of being able to store the rod w/out folding the thing in half. 6. MN: Tony Roach is speaking in Brainerd… …at the Walleye Alliance meeting Dec 12. I’ll be heckling in the back. 😉 7. Here’s how Asian carp spread from 1973-2019. Saw this crazy graphic in the last BassBlaster email, and had to share:
Can you imagine a zebra mussel graphic?! [shocked emoji] 8. Traditions Media adds 2 to the team. Kristine Fischer and Lee Rose Koza. Traditions Media is an outdoors-focused (fishing and hunting) media company that calls themselves “The Anti-Agency…Agency” lol. Love that. Congrats to all! 9. Is this why Cabela’s sold to Bass Pro? (video) The Cabela’s part starts at 5:18 and sort of makes it sound like Cabela’s was forced to sell out by big-money New York City guys that owned a stake (11%) in the company. No idea if that’s actually the case, but if so it for sure wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened in financial world…. 10. Shimano has new Sedona Ice Combos. Everything from 24″ UL to 40″ MH whoopin’ sticks.
FishUSA already has ’em in stock here. 12. WI’s hiring investigative wardens. I don’t know exactly what they are, but it sounds sweeeet. 13. So you wanna “fish” full-time? Then one of the events you should really have penciled-in on the calendar = the NPAA annual conference comin’ up Jan 3-5 in Wisconsin Dells. Great chance to network with pros who’ve had success on and off the water, and learn about the business side of the sport:
Couple of this year’s featured speakers are big-time bass pro Mike Iaconelli and Bass Pro Shops owner Johnny Morris — lot more info here. 14. WY has a Master Angler program too. 15. Check NFL’er Frank Ragnow’s cleats. Detroit Lions center and avid outdoorsman: > “For #MyCauseMyCleats this year I will be repping American Foundation For Suicide Prevention cleats in honor of my late friend Brady Hed and his family. He loved to fish….”
16. NJ gov pledges $13 mil to fight algal blooms. I’d fight an algal bloom right in the face for $20. 17. Lowe Boats’ new GM came from Harley Davidson. 18. MN: If you’re going to the St. Paul Ice Show… …the next few days, swing by the Humminbird booth (#211) for a chance to win an ICE HELIX 7 G3N All-Season — a killer hardwater unit that also includes everything you need to use it on your boat during the open-water season. It’s a show-exclusive dealio, so no link for the giveaway, but wanted to give you a heads-up. Good luck wrasslin’ the unit away from these dudes tho lol:

Tip of the DayTip-up spooling hack using a power drill.Great trick for spooling up those Beaver Dam tip-ups. Joel Nelson didn’t invent it, but he did do a good job of showing how it’s done. Sure beats the old-school way that gives you carpal tunnel:
