Heading to the lake or river to do some fishing, Brittany Merlot has details for anglers on the annual Drain Campaign.
If you're using live bait, Wisconsin fishing regulations say that minos can only be purchased from a licensed Wisconsin bait dealer.
And rules aren't to never dump unwanted bait in the water.
Our live bait regulations as far as invasive species can absolutely be confusing to people.
And so the simplest way to think about it is that you don't want to take fish or water from one water body and put them into another water body.
Because you could be spreading a lot of these species or they learn visible to the eye.
And so you could unknowingly spread things by moving the water.
That's Erin McFarland, a statewide clean boat's clean water's educator with UWSP.
She says that if you have worms that you will not use before they die, don't put them in the water or on the ground.
First worms and Wisconsin in general are not naturally found here.
And so if you just think of your live bait as trash and just can dispose of it in the trashers up to cold, that's the best way to handle it.
It's also better to keep our landings clean and clear for other people enjoying them.
And before you leave the launch, don't forget to drain.
And by draining the water from live wells and boats and making sure you're not moving fish from one water body to another,
we can kind of make sure that we're taking the steps to prevent them from spreading.
The Clean Boats Clean Water's annual drain campaign runs June 6th through the eighth.
Summer means more outdoor activities like riding bikes and skateboards or electric scooters and health officials are reminding Wisconsinites to wear a helmet during the day.
They say an average of 70% of the kids who were hospitalized at American Family's Children Hospital following a bike accident were not wearing a helmet when they crashed.
They also say nearly half of the head injuries resulting from bike accidents could have been prevented if the rider had been wearing a helmet.
As the weather starts to warm up, their hoping kids will take more precautions to protect themselves.

A Brewers win in Cincinnati.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports, baseball.
The Brewers were the 901 victory over the reds yesterday.
They won the series two games to one.
Manager Pat Murphy pleased with lefty DL Hall and his three inning performance, allowing just one hit to get things started.

That's some very capable hitters over there.
The Brewers open a weekend series tomorrow night in Milwaukee against the Padres and men's college baseball.
