(Radio Iowa) – Iowans who own boats are being warned that their state registration stickers on the hull will expire this weekend. Nate Carr, an Iowa D-N-R conservation officer, says those three-year stickers are only good through April 30th, which is Saturday. “If you’re planning on being on Iowa public water with a boat, you need to make sure you’re registered,” Carr says. “If you’re looking to go down that road, the place to stop is your local recorder’s office, whether you’re registering a vessel for the first time or renewing the vessel.”

Before you hit the open water, Carr suggests making sure key safety equipment is onboard. “One of the big things is life jackets — and having wearable life jackets for everybody on board,” Carr says. “That’s going to include life jackets that are in serviceable condition, so if they’re torn and ripped up, that’s not going to be good.”

The list of safety equipment also includes a fire extinguisher. National Boat Safety Week is May 21 to 27. Find more tips at www.iowadnr.gov/Things-to-Do/Boatin

Former Minnesota tight end Ko Kieft of Sioux Center could be a late round N-F-L Draft choice this weekend. Kieft created a name for himself with his ability to run block for a Minnesota team that was one of the top rushing squads in the country in each of the past two years. He has turned heads to the N-F-L scouts because of his dominating run blocking from the tight end position, with one scouting service labeling him the top run-blocking tight end in the nation last season. Kieft had 12 career receptions, including two touchdowns with the Golden Gophers. One of those TDs came against Iowa last year in Iowa City.

If he doesn’t get drafted this weekend, Kieft will certainly get a shot with an N-F-L team as a free agent signing. Since the end of the 2021 football season, Kieft has been working out in Minneapolis in preparation for his shot in pro football. Kieft says his toughness is the result of his upbringing.

Kieft says he visited Sioux Center a couple of months ago.

Kieft says wrestling in high school helped him become a better football player.

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Walleye Challenge — a statewide catch-and-release fishing tournament — starts this Sunday, May 1st. There are weekly prizes over the next two months, but the ultimate catch will be the data entered in a smart phone app. Sean Simmons is president of MyCatch — the app for recording the location where the walleye are caught and a photo of the fish before it’s released it back into the water.

“This is an experiment,” Simmons says. “We’re going to see how well we can collect data across the state and see if this will be a useful tool to help the Iowa DNR to get a better state of the walleye fishery.” One key part of the tournament is taking a photo to show the size of walleye being caught in Iowa. Simmons says participants can use a tape measure or what’s called a bump board.

“It’s like a yard stick with a bump at the zero,” Simmons says. “So you put the nose of the fish against the bump and you take a picture of the fish on the bump board.” A team will review the photos and determine if the fish meets the guidelines of the contest. There will be a live leaderboard on the app, showing who has caught the largest walleye. Simmons stresses that the goal isn’t to pull a lot of walleye out of circulation, however.

“We’re not against harvesting, but because we’re running this across the state and encouraging people to report as many fish as they can catch, we don’t want to unnecessarily deplete the resource,” Simmons says. “so the idea is to promote the release of the fish shortly after you catch them.” Staff in state-run fisheries stock walleye in lakes across the state and conduct surveys in a handful of lakes and rivers to try to estimate the walleye population. Simmons is providing his app to the State of Iowa to not only collect data on the size of walleye that are caught over the next two months — but anglers are being asked to type in where they caught their fish. Simmons says secret fishing spots will stay secret.

“We will identify which water body it’s in, like the Des Moines River or the Rathbun Reservoir,” he says, “but the exact location is never revealed publicly.” Simmons says the important part of the tournament is collecting as much information as possible, so prizes aren’t necessarily going to go to the person who catches the largest fish — and there will be prizes for people who don’t catch ANY fish. The MyCatch app has been used for several competitive fishing tournaments in Canada and at a few locations in the United States.

“Ran the Ontario Ice Fishing Challenge where towns across Ontario competed to see who would be the ice fishing capital of Ontario,” Simmons says. The MyCatch app handled over 700 participants who caught-and-released 12-thousand striped bass in the Miramachi Cup in New Brunswick last October.

LINCOLN, Neb. – The start time for Friday’s University of Iowa baseball game at Nebraska has been moved to a 3:30 p.m. (CT) at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park because of the forecasted rain showers in Lincoln.

As a result, the game will be streamed on BTN+ rather than televised on BTN.
