This morning I was at the Wisconsin Musky Show in Wausau where I presented my Fishing Basics to a packed house. Thanks John Van Norman and Karen Karch for all your help. Great to see the Wisconsin Musky Expo having something for the families. They gave a fishing combo to the first 100 youth at the show and the NPAA provided Future Pro Shirts for all the youth that attended the Fishing Basics seminar. We had a great turnout and the youth and parents said they learned a lot!!

Learn 2 Fish With Us and I will be at the Wisconsin Musky Expo. On Sunday at 10:30 AM I will present my Fishing Basics seminar. After the seminar I will be handing out NPAA Future Pro shirts to the youth. Come out and enjoy the show and say hi!! NPAA member John Van Norman and my wife Karen will be helping out.

This past Sunday I held my Fishing Basics seminar where we reviewed all the fishing basics. What a great turnout!! All the youth went home with a NPAA Future Pro shirt. Hope you all learned more on the fishing basics. I also participated on a panel where we discussed Angling and AIS, What’s the Big Deal? Other panel members was a guide, WDR representatives and a warden. We discussed topics of zebra mussels, Asian carp, milfoil and more!!

This past weekend I was in Chippewa Falls at the Wissota Ice Fishing Classic where I edcuated families on the ice fishing basics. We held three clinics on behalf of Learn 2 Fish With Us. A special thanks to all my sponsors for the great door prizes!! These families are ready to fish!!! A note: I received and email and it stated ‘Mission Accomplished’ and it read as follows: ‘The young gentlemen in the picture attended the seminar on Friday evening at the YMCA. You showed him how to tie a knot and he came home with one of the fishing combos.

On Saturday, he told his mother he wanted to ice fish at the tournament. His mother said he was so determined to participate that she could not tell him no. They arrived at the registration tent, explained he attended the Friday Basics seminar, and explained they knew nothing about ice fishing and hoped someone could assist. One of the members of the Walleye League took the young man and his mother to the ice and they began fishing.

The smile tells the story. Mission Accomplished!’

This past weekend I was at the Milwaukee Musky show where I spoke on introducing your kids to fishing, what the NPAA accomplished in 2013 and the Clean Drian Dry message. I then handed out Future Pro shirts to the kids that attended the seminar. The Milwaukee Musky Show held a Lure Contest/Auction, and all funds raised were donated to the NPAA. The Musky Brothers also did a great segment on introducing your kids to Musky fishing!!!

On Wednesday, January 8th I will be starting a High School Fishing Club at the Menasha High School.  Really looking forward to talking with the students of the club to see the direction they would like the club to go and the students fishing background!!!  Then we will signup with the Berkley Fishing High School Fishing Challenge!!!

Above is a chart for Ice Conditions.  Be safe out there!!!
