State of the Lake: Lake Michigan, that is
The Michigan City Charter Boat Association will host an information meeting and public forum about Lake Michigan with Indiana Department of Natural Resources staff at 6 tonight at Skwait American Legion, 121 S. Skwait Legion Ave., Michigan City, Ind.

This meeting has kind of grown from just a club meeting to something bigger and more inclusive, a sort of general informational gathering.
I expect it to be interesting. There is a lot of questions or, should I say, dissatisfaction among fishermen on southern Lake Michigan.
Brian Breidert has been around for decades as Indiana's Lake Michigan fisheries biologist.
He understands that.
When I emailed him about the meeting, he responded with this, among other things, ``It is an information session for us. We have a message we want to get out but are also wanting to hear what the anglers have to say.''
I plan to be there.
