 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.
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
hours are currently 7:30
to 5:30 Mon-Sat, 7:30 to 3:00 Sun.

September
2 - Here is the latest news we've
gathered from our customers, the DNR, and various other
sources:
Crystal
Lake
Perch fishing has been fair along the deeper
drop-offs. Some lake trout are being caught.
Platte
Lake
Walleye fishing is improving slightly.
Platte
Bay
Coho are being caught in the East Bay using
green spoons or J-plugs, 20 feet off the bottom in 60
to 100 feet of water. The occasional chinook is also
being caught.
Frankfort
- Chinook are staging in the bay, but the air and water
temperatures have made it hit or miss. Some coho were
also caught recently off the pier.
Betsie
River
Chinook are slowly creeping into the river,
which has been very low; however, some rain should start
triggering larger runs.

to the Marketplace, where you can buy or sell miscellaneous
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.
We
encourage you to check out what's available. If you have something
