Traded in the walleye fishing equipment for the perch fishing equipment and got some dandies.  Perch fishing is starting to heat up on Bago!!!  We were fishing just off the reefs in about 14 feet of water and dead sticking.  Red worms by far was the best bait with pieces of crawler not far behind.

Hi Greg and Karen,
Just wanted to send a special thank you for putting on probably the best program for kids and families that we have ever had at the park. We have had tremendously positive feedback from the adults, and I am still getting replies from those who attended.  I hope that we met your expectations and that you will consider coming back in the future. Perhaps we could resurrect our Outdoor Skills Day and have you as our featured guest. Just a thought!

Helped out at the Youth Go Fishing Clinic where I helped these girls while fishing.

Come check out the Fishing Clinic this Saturday at High Cliff State Park in Sherwood, Wisconsin

This past week I attended 2013 Farm Technology Days in Barron, Wisconsin where I had an educational booth on fishing.  We worked with the kids on fish identification, knots and casting.  Almost every youth caught a backyard bass while casting.  I was on the Youth Stage twice where I presented my ‘Fishing Basics’ seminar.  We had over two thousand kids that went through the booth.

Walleye fishing has been hot on Lake Winnebago!!  This week we took over twenty walleye over 21 inches and of those 5 were over 25 inches.  We were pitching Northland Gumball jigs with crawlers and did well.  One day we went out to the mud and trolled crawler harnesses in Northland #5 Fire Perch and Gold Fish and Big Eye Custom Lures Silver Dolphin.  Get out fishing is hot!!!

This past weekend was Wisconsin’s free fishing weekend.  On Sunday I attended the 2013 Huntn & Fishn Expo at Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin.  I presented my Fishing Basic seminar at 1 PM.  Prior to the seminar I helped families while fishing and worked with kids on casting utilizing Backyard Bass.  It was quit cold and windy in the morning so most of the kids spent time casting for Backyard Bass.  All the kids attending the event received a fishing or hunting prize!!!  There where over one hundred kids in attendance with just as many parents!!  Had a great time.  What a great organization and event.

This past weekend was Wisconsin’s free fishing weekend.  On Saturday I attended Yahara Fishing Club’s Kids Fishing Day at Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin.   I presented my Fishing Basic seminar at 10 AM.  Prior to the clinic I helped families while fishing.  After the seminar I worked with kids on casting utilizing Backyard Bass.  The kids were so excited to be able to catch a fish on land.  All the kids attending the event received a fishing combo or a tackle box plus each youth went home with some great door prizes.  There where over four hundred kids in attendance with a couple hundred parents!!!!  What a great event!!!
