Description:
Fishing shanties are out on Shakey Lakes and some shanty owners are probably planning to participate in the ice fishing derby Feb. 18. It will be the 48th annual ice fishing derby sponsored by Menominee Woods and Stream Sportsmen's Club. Ice on the lakes, said locals, ranges from 10 to 18 inches thick. The derby coincides with Michigan's Free Fishing Weekend. Licenses are not required Feb. 18 and 19. All other fishing regulations apply. Club members state the derby is family-oriented and a great way to get outside and introduce fishing to all ages. Entry fee covers lunch, which includes chili, grilled items and soda.
