Battle On St. Germain Lakes - Saturday January 17, 2026
2026-01-17 06:00 - 17:00 | Last Cast Fishing Outfitters, 544 WI-155, St Germain, WI, 54558, United States
Northwoods Muskies Inc. presents “Battle on St. Germain Lakes” Family Fishing Tournament.
Sponsored by Northwoods Muskies Inc. & Last Cast Fishing Outfitters

January 17th is the 2nd annual Ice Fishing Tournament. This was a very successful event last year and we want to make this year bigger and better. Jim Lund is the chairman of this event . Jim has done a ton of leg work getting sponsors and donations to help cover costs. Last year we gave out 47 buckets to kids 16 and younger participating in the tournament. We increased the number to 80. Buckets include an assortment of ice fishing supplies such as tip-ups, rod, ice scoopers etc. Jim has been able to get commitments in cash or prize donations valued at $15,000.00. We have had some people commit to helping, however, we need more. The day of the tournament we need people to help set up/tear down, registration, kitchen, games, and raffles. I am probably forgetting something, but you get the idea. If you are not able to help on the 17th, consider helping by putting together buckets. Please contact Jim Lund at Jlund2273@gmail.com, or Pete Stoltman @ pjsdrum@gmail.com. The more hands helping makes the work lighter.
