(Area) As winter approaches, it’s time to start thinking about preparing your boats and equipment.
John Lorenzen, Fisheries Biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, says there are still a few weeks of good fishing left, but it might be time to think about what you will need to winterize your boat.
Lorenzen also said it is a good idea to change the motor oil and check the prop shaft for any fishing line that could be tangled around it.
