At
Five Corners, we recognize our importance not only to the
local fishing community, but also to summer residents and
vacationers, and we pride ourselves on friendly and knowledgable
service.
As
Crystal Lake's only Bait & Tackle Shop, we're just around
the corner from the public boat launch. We offer an assortment
of equipment to meet your fishing needs—whether you're
hitting the lake or wading one of the area's many streams
and rivers.
 |
We're
a licensed minnow dealer and always keep fresh supplies
of seasonal bait on hand, and we'll share any information
we have about the current "hot spots," as
well as what's working and what's just being dragged
through the water.
If
something goes wrong with your favorite fishing rod
or reel, we can provide repair services. We're also
a DNR retail license agent.

Stop
in, have a cup of coffee, and tell us what you need. If we
don't have it, we'll do our best to get it for you.
Ice
fishing is back!
The
ice has thickened considerably and is now at safe
levels. To be sure, call ahead for current conditions!
However,
Crystal Lake will soon be ready again. Remember, we
are the only Bait and Tackle shop on Crystal Lake,
we make your search for bait as convenient as possible.
When you have to run back to shore for minnows or
wigglers, you can walk instead of drive to our door.
We keep our new "baitquarium" stocked with
the best minnows available.

Our
winter hours are currently 8:00
to 5:30 Mon-Sat, 8:00 to 3:00 Sun. We may
change our opening time to 7:30 am
based on customer demand.

and waxworms are working. Moderate activity between
RailRoad point and the condos.

Bay.
No
lake trout are reported yet, and no whitefish have been
reported for the last couple of weeks. They may be biting,
but no one is talking...

new or used fishing equipment. Maybe it's an old rod, or a
downrigger mount, or something else that's just taking up
space in your garage, attic, or basement. Or, maybe you're
looking for a part for that special reel, or you need a particular
wading shoe and you don't want to spring for the full-price
version.
In
some cases, these items are available at our store; other
items are offered or sought by by the public.
