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.

Webster Lake Muskies Under Study

Webster Lake muskies under study.An apparent decline in muskies on Webster Lake will be the focus of a fisheries study this spring and summer.
The popular Kosciusko County lake has been heralded as one of the Midwest’s top muskie hotspots over the past decade, but catch numbers are declining and biologist Jed Pearson wants to know why.
“Anglers say they aren’t seeing the younger muskies that they were 10 years ago, so it’s time to go take a look at it,” he said.
Fishing guides – most of whom practice catch and release – say the number of muskies they are seeing is down from previous years, although fishing last year was a slight improvement over the year before.
A fisheries team began netting there this week and will continue doing so over the next few weeks. Captured muskies will be marked, documented and released.

Dan Rostecki with record whitefish (photo by Mary Beck Ryba)Dan Rostecki didn’t catch what he was after while fishing from the Michigan City pier last Saturday, but he did haul in a state-record lake whitefish instead.
“I was out there brown trout fishing on the bottom and thought I had one,” Rostecki said. “It ended up being a whitefish. It’s the first one I’ve ever caught. It was really, really a bonus.”
A record bonus no less.
DNR State Record Fish Program coordinator Jamie Smyth certified the record catch on Monday. Rostecki will receive a certificate and patch from the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife as recognition of the record.
