What's New?
Kyle Kaser and Kayla Bermes eked out a Michiana Fishing League victory on Lake Maxinkuckee Sunday.
With the application period for Michigan’s elk season opening Friday, May 1, hunters should be aware of several key changes to the popular hunt.
New Gear
St. Croix Rod expands the angler-favorite Mojo Musky lineup with three all-new longer models – a 10’ heavy power JOMFG100HF2, a 10’ extra-heavy power JOMFG100XHF2, and a 10’6” heavy power JOMFG106HF2. All are two-piece with a 70/30 split that places the junction low in the stiffer section of the rod.

Walleye Numbers Impressive at Indiana’s Lake of the Woods
If you’re a walleye angler and haven’t fished Lake of the Woods near Bremen, Ind., you should.
The lake has a good population of keeper-size walleyes, according to Indiana District Fisheries Biologist Tom Bacula.
Bacula was there last fall doing a standard evaluation of the walleye population.
“It’s something we do every year to check the stocking success of that season,” he said. “We didn’t stock last year (because of covid) but we wanted to see how the lake was doing.”
And doing quite fine, he added.
“Oh, man, we found a lot of walleyes,” he said. “And a lot of legal ones, too.”
Ice Fishing Has Picked Up; Many Waters Still Risky
- Details
By Louie Stout
If you’re looking for safe ice to fish this weekend, it’s out there.
But man, you gotta be careful.
Reports coming in from area bait and tackle shops indicate several anglers are getting out and catching fish, but not every frozen water you see is safe.
Ice thicknesses range from very little to about 5½ inches. Channels, ponds and protected bays seem to be the safer bets, but everyone is advised to proceed with caution.
“It’s all dependent on the lake,” says Steven Szymczak of Clear Water Tackle in Edwardsburg. “Here’s an example…guys were getting out on Eagle earlier this week but Juno (right next to Eagle) still had open water.”
Pat Hamilton of D&R Sports in Kalamazoo said some of the lakes around his area have 2 to 3 inches, but that’s mostly in the channels and on small, wind protected lakes or bays.
It’s about the same west of Elkhart.
