What's New?
Not only did the couples in the Casting Couples opener start on a 30-degree morning, but the bite at Pine and Stone lakes was tough.
Despite a cold start in the morning, the catch was pretty good in the Tackle Shack season opener at Lake Maxinkuckee.
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.

Deer season may be over, but the stories keep coming, like the one shared with me last week by a LaPorte County hunter.
While several Hoosiers lamented they didn’t see many bucks last fall, that wasn’t the case for Dave Jones.
He and his 78-year-old father, Gene, hunt an 88-acre parcel in southern LaPorte County. It’s kind of an island of habitat surrounded by farm fields. It generally attracts a few deer but not many quality bucks.
Until this year.
Gene, who is retired, hunted there throughout the bow season. Dave, an attorney, works a lot so his hunting time was limited to opening day of gun season.
“Dad saw some deer during bow season but nothing like what we encounter in one weekend,” explained Dave.

Doug Miles is concerned about the deer population around his home in the northwest corner of St. Joseph County, Ind.
Miles is an avid deer hunter and landowner. He talks to neighbors, who are farmers and deer hunters.
They’re concerned, too.
“None of us saw bucks and very few does this past season,” said Miles.
That’s not the norm on property that includes several thousand acres covering Miles’ place and adjoining neighbors’. And while a lot of the land is agriculture, the owners are deer hunters and manage the land for quality bucks by maintaining good deer habitat.
