Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant's Lake Michigan Fisheries meeting is nightcap after White Sox opener

I’m really looking forward to the winter perch report when Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant holds its spring Lake Michigan Fisheries meeting on Thursday.

It is scheduled for 6-8:30 p.m. at the Wilmette Harbor Club.

I plan to be there, because I find it a great chance to access a lot of information. This one I will have to do some juggling to make it after the White Sox opener in the afternoon.

Register at https://purdue.ag/spring-2024-fisheries. You can also register there for the Zoom option, planned for April 3.

Here’s the planned schedule:

• 6-6:10 p.m.: Welcome and introductions, Peter Euclide, Purdue University, Dept. of Forestry & Natural Resources, and IISG
  
• 6:10 – 6:45 p.m.: Lake Michigan Creel Survey Update and an Assessment of Winter Yellow Perch Harvest, Charlie Roswell, Illinois Natural History Survey
  
• 6:50 – 7:25 p.m.: Habitat selection of largemouth bass in the Chicago River, Luke McGill, Purdue
