Ice is finally forming on lakes in southern Michigan and anglers will find everything they need for a successful ice fishing trip at the Ultimate Fishing Show–Detroit’s Ice Fishing Extravaganza and Shanty Truck Load Sale.

This year’s Ultimate Fishing Show–Detroit will once again feature an Ice Fishing Extravaganza, a collection of more ice fishing gear and seminars than any other show in Michigan.

Manufacturer representatives from Clam, Shappell, Otter Outdoors, Frabill, Eskimo, Normark, Marcum, Strikemaster, and many more have committed to attend. Multiple retailers, including Frank’s Great Outdoors, K & E Stopper Lures and PikeSpearing.com, will be present at the Ultimate Fishing Show–Detroit with truckloads of ice fishing tackle and gear.

Frank’s Great Outdoors will hold a shanty truckload sale in conjunction with the Ultimate Fishing Show, and our lineup of ice fishing seminars is second to none.”

Jake Romanack has had the good fortune of growing up in the fishing industry. The son of Outdoor Writer and Fishing 411 TV Host Mark Romanack, Jake has spent countless hours fishing with his Dad, fishing with industry insiders and also working as a first mate on the back of Michigan’s top charter boats. With chartering experience on both Lake Erie and Lake Michigan, Jake recently became one of the youngest individuals in Michigan to become a licensed charter captain at the age of 17. Jake plans to start a charter business on Lake Erie and Lake Michigan this summer.

Currently at Fox Valley Technical College, studying business administration, Jake’s long term goals are to secure a business degree, build a charter fishing clientele and to continue working with his Dad at Fishing 411 TV. Jake’s biggest goal however is to help other anglers become more successful on the water.

Joining Brosdahl and Romanack are recent Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame inductee Mark Martin (walleye), Mark Romanack (walleye), Marianne Huskey (walleye), Wayne Carpenter (bass), Chris Noffsinger (bass), Mike Schultz (fly fishing), Chip Cartwright (walleye and salmon), Kyle Buck (salmon and steelhead) and Dan Armitage (kid’s fishing), among others.
