The Shadbush, also called Juneberries, are now in full bloom. The Shadbush receive its name since the early settlers noted that the Shad started running when a certain shrub bloomed. They named this shrub, the Shadbush. It is also called Juneberry since it has a tasty berry in June. Since there are no Shad in the Newaygo Chain of Lakes, there are plenty of bluegills and they apparently move into the shallows at the same time. Even though the Shadbush have bloomed earlier than anybody can remember, their blooming is coinciding with the bluegills moving into the shallows. If you are looking for tasty bluegills, pick a nice sunny day and you should have luck by fishing the shallows. When do bluegills start spawning? That’s an easy one. When the Dogwoods and Redbud are in full bloom!

About Me
I have been involved in lateral thinking most of my life. While lateral thinking is sometimes referred to as "thinking outside the box" it does differ in several subtle respects. I became interested in the electronics field when I was in 6th grade and received my Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. I have written and have had published numerous articles, especially in the electronics field, and two electronic related books. I also have written a juvenile science/craft book on making cool contraptions. As you may expect from a lateral thinker, I am multifaceted in my interests. In addition to my electronic design background, I am the Workshop Editor for Boys' Quest and Fun For Kidz magazines and own and operate Magicland Farms where, along with my wife and 6 children, grow, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables on our 65 acre farm. You can find out more about me by reading my blog posts and visiting my two websites: www.magiclandelectronics.com and www.magiclandfarms.com.
