OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

OPENING UP.  As the world opens up a bit more, state-by-state and day-by-day, the Minnesota DNR has some tips for anglers to keep the fight going against Covid-19 and how to respectfully distance yourself in the outdoors.  Along with that, general tips for safe spring fishing are included in the release.

NEED FOR SPEED.  Imagine getting to your favorite fishing spot before everyone else in a bass boat that can go around 120 mph.  Allison Bass boats claim the world record and have been doing so for the past 15 years

WEIRD STUFF.  Russian deep sea commercial angler @RFedortsov continues his catalogue of rare and strange fish from the briny blue.  Check out his twitter feed for regular updates of amazing species and challenging conditions.
