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.

Giant Catfish Caught Through Ice on Bluegill Rod

Michigan Record Flathead CatfishThe first time Dale Blakley went ice fishing, he wasn’t all that impressed.
“I didn’t catch a thing,” he groaned.
That all changed last Sunday while fishing on Barron Lake near Niles. He not only caught a fish – he caught a state record – and a monster at that.
With the help of fishing buddies Fred Harkrider and Mike and Justin Wagner, Blakley out-dueled a 52-pound flathead catfish after an hour and 15 minute battle through the ice.
The catfish shattered the Michigan record of 49 pounds, 13 ounces set in 2012 on the Maple River. Blakley’s fish measured 46.2 inches long and had a head bigger than a large medicine ball.
