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.

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.

The numbers don’t lie. In Indiana, the number of women who bought hunting licenses soared by 93 percent from 2006 to 2014.

"Back in the '50s, it was a rare thing to see a Canada goose in this state," said Barbara Avers, the waterfowl specialist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. "It was rare for hunters to kill a goose. It was a pretty big deal.
