Today in History, 1994: McFeely: A fisherman with no boat? No sweat

Today in History, 1994: McFeely highlights fishing options for anglers without boats and notes a Florida woman's lawsuit over a $10,000 crappie prize. The Forum Outdoors column listed landlocked spots near Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, such as the Pelican mill pond, Hosterman's Dam by the Pelican River outlet at Lake Lizzie, and Maplewood State Park lakes No. 21 and Cow, suitable for shore anglers seeking sunfish and panfish. It also cites Devils Lake, North Dakota, where shore fishing yields walleyes in spring, and Minnewaukan Flats road as productive. The piece also reports Donna Burdine’s lawsuit in Glades County, Florida, alleging a $10,000 prize for a tagged Lake Okeechobee crappie that she believed qualified for Crappiethon USA.
