Beginner DIY Surf Fishing In this episode, the host shares personal experiences related to archery education, hunting camps, culinary adventures in Puerto Rico, and a new venture into fishing. The conversation highlights the joy of teaching archery to young students, the camaraderie found in hunting camps, the importance of field-to-plate culinary experiences, and the challenges and excitement of learning to fish from the beach. In this episode, the host shares his exhilarating experiences of saltwater fishing in Puerto Rico, detailing the thrill of catching various fish species, including a juvenile tarpon and mutton snapper. He recounts the challenges faced while navigating the surf and riptides, the joy of culinary creations from his catch, and the excitement of acquiring a new fishing boat for future adventures.

Teaching archery to kids fosters excitement and engagement while instilling values like effort and perseverance. Learning new outdoor skills can be both fulfilling and fun, especially when shared with others. The camaraderie found in hunting camps and the joy of sharing adventures with friends enrich the overall outdoor experience. Fishing, in particular, offers a mix of challenges and rewards—it demands patience, practice, adaptability, and thorough preparation. The thrill of catching a fish, such as a tarpon or a prized mutton snapper, is exhilarating and memorable. Saltwater fishing introduces unique obstacles like riptides and shifting ocean currents, requiring knowledge and calmness. A well-maintained fishing boat opens new opportunities for exploration, while properly cared-for gear ensures safety and success. Field-to-plate dining and creative culinary experiences deepen one’s appreciation for local resources and the food we gather ourselves. Whether on the beach or out at sea, fishing not only connects us to nature but also builds lasting bonds through shared stories and experiences.

Fatherhood, steelhead fishing and a local archery club (WMAC) are the main talking points throughout the episode. false full 159 707b91a8-be42-4cfc-8cf1-d09e7d48fa8a Michigan Wild - Reel Obsession On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate has a stellar conversation with Kyle Kunst from Reel Obsession. Kyle loves getting after fish through the ice and Nate actually came across his youtube channel watching an ice fishing video and reached out to record an episode. Not only does Kyle ice fish, he has also fished at a competitive level on open water for many years dating back to highschool. Kyle's journey began as a highschooler with a desire to compete, and it became an Obsession through determination and effort. 

Nate being a complete novice to ice fishing and fishing in general really appreciated Kyle's transparency in the competitive fishing space. There were some interesting parallels between finding big fish and big whitetails across the landscape. Even with the ups and downs it's an opportunity for people to chase a passion and attempt to make a name for themselves. Hearing how Kyle started and seeing the point of entry is inspiring and proves that hard work can pay off.

But what if fishing could actually be part of school? Well thanks to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Fishing Association, that can be true!

This week we're talking all about the WIFA with Appleton North Coach, Josh Beaman, and Neenah Coach & WIFA Board Member, Bradley Gumtow. The guys kick things off hearing about how they got involved with WIFA, how tournaments work, the experiences that kids are able to have, the number of high schoolers who have achieved Master Angler Status, and of course, how you or your student can get involved by joining their school's club or starting one of their own! If this doesn't make you want to get out on the water, we're not sure what else will!

Also, you'll hear in the episode that after a terrible accident, one of the WIFA students, Brett Jedwabny has wound up in critical condition and is fighting for his life at the Milwaukee Children's Hospital. To raise money to support Brett and his family during this difficult time, the WIFA has organized the, "A Cast for Hope" fishing tournament that is open to anyone to participate through the Fish Donkey App. It's $25 to enter and 100% of the proceeds go to Brett & his family. 

You can also support Brett by donating to the GoFundMe set up in Brett's name by following this link:  https://gofund.me/6f07b407

John grew up fishing and duck hunting on small farm ponds, so they have always held a special place in his heart. For the last couple of months, John has made it his goal to turn one particular pond into a fish and duck paradise. While growing a 10 pound plus bass in a 1 acre pond may not be realistic, John's goal is to simply maximise its potential and create a fun and exciting place for him and his friends and family to enjoy.

Almost anyone can gain access to a small farm pond, which is part of the reason John feels so passionately about this project. After a lot of research, John set out to make the best fishery possible out of a one and a half acre pond that has been in his family for about 50 years. John's other goal was to do it as cheaply as possible. Structure, water clarity, and overall fish population are the main concerns, as well as hopefully growing some edge vegetation that will make the pond more attractive for waterfowl. So if that little mud hole in the middle of a cattle pasture is all you have to work with, don't fret. Almost any water source can serve a purpose for an outdoors man or woman willing to put in a little work!

If you haven't we need to have a serious talk, and if you have, what did you forget on that first trip of the year? What did you have to pop into a bait shop for? What could you have just simply done better? As fun as they can be, fishing trips can also be a source of nightmares if not done properly. That's why this week, we're talking all about how to plan and prepare for a fishing trip!

This week, Andrew Wolfe returns to the show after a big tournament up in Door County and Pierce is also coming off of a fishing trip not too far away from where Andrew was. After a week of chasing big smallies, the guys thought it would be a good idea to share their tips on how they prepare for a fishing trip. In this episode, the guys break down how they choose a place to go whether it be based off of a species, area, skill they hope to hone, or historic body of water, and then break down how they use their resources to figure out what the fish are doing before they go. Then the guys talk about gear essentials, what they never leave home without, what's overrated, and finally, how they prepare mentally for a trip. This episode is a fun one with plenty of entertaining tangents, but even more good info. Enjoy!

One of those ways is to spend time with someone who really knows bass, has fished for them competitively for years, and is a heck of an all around outdoorsman. In other words, spend some time picking the brain of Wisconsin-native, Andrew Wolfe!

This week we're talking bass fishing and you do not want to miss this! Andrew is a lifelong bass fisherman who even represented the Badgers as a member of their college bass fishing team, and now spends his time fishing tournaments and for pleasure around the country. Heck, the guy even paid rent in grad school by winning tournaments! Throughout all that experience, he's become an incredible bass fisherman, and this week he's here to help us all level up our bass game to achieve more success on the water this year. The guys talk about the college bass fishing scene, lessons learned through fishing tournaments, scouting effectively, using the conditions to your advantage and much more. You can follow along with Andrew and his adventures on Instagram @heywolfe11 but fair warning, you will see some GIANT fish!

That's especially true if you like to target trout in Wisconsin's Driftless region and daydream about a cloud of Blue Winged Olives hovering over a bend pool with hungry trout rising beneath them. If that's the case, then this episode is for you! 

As we come off a year of extreme drought in most of the state, our trout streams have taken a hit with water levels lower, and significantly clearer than usual. This week, Pierce flies solo and breaks down the tactics he uses when guiding in the Driftess region, specifically when the trout are even spookier than usual! He talks through a trout's senses and what causes them to be so spooky under these conditions, what ideal conditions are, how to approach fish, how to build a stealthy leader, tips for casting success, what bugs are hatching and the flies you need in your box, and lots more in this week's episode!

Bugger Fly Fishing Guide Service. Erik is a lifelong fly fisherman from central Illinois who found home in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin, where he quickly discovered the giant brown trout that come into the Lake Michigan tributary rivers and streams every fall. In 2019 he founded Woll E. Bugger Fly Fishing Guide Service to guide others onto the world class fishing that can be found in the Southeast corner of the state. 

Pierce & Erik cover everything you need to know to target these fish from what gear you need, what the fish are doing, where to find them, and how to get them to eat. They also debate the ethics of targeting spawning fish and various schools of thought surrounding the issue. If you'd like to get in touch with Erik and book your trip, you can get in touch with him on Facebook or Instagram by searching Woll. E. Bugger Fly Fishing Guide Service

Last episode of November on Michigan Wild this week. An episode all about fishing rivers for steelhead with Shane Rodenburg. Shane has dove into river fishing the last 4 years and is absolutely torn up with it. Nate being an avid hunter is still slightly perplexed why someone would purposely target fish instead of whitetails this time of year. 

However the more time Nate spends talking with people who have a passion for fishing the more enlightened he gets. Nate and Shane discuss the many parallels there are between chasing river fish along with whitetails throughout the fall. Scouting and having an adequate amount of time are some important factors that allow guys to be successful at a high level.

Through this episode Nate and Tony go over some of the basics of river fishing, including what to look for and tactics to use for certain fish. Fly fishing is really where Tony has settled over the years and shares different technics he uses throughout the year. Tony also goes into more detail of how he breaks down a river and how to do some river scouting. Which Nate realizes has similarities to breaking down a property for whitetails or other game animals.

Nate and his wife Ashley really hope to join Tony on a river this fall, and look forward to the adventure and the learning experience.

Rain, treacherous waters, and bears? made for a REALLY interesting trip, listen in to see just how crazy it was! 

The river really threw it all at it on this quick trip. It beat us up both mentally and physically but we toughed it out and everyone had some success. We learned the ins and outs of where the fish wanted to strike at, even if it wasn’t always convenient for us to hit those spots. This trip was definitely a doozy but Jason invited us back, next time for a longer trip, and we’ll definitely be going back!

They had a LOT to learn about bowfishing because it turns out normal bow shooting doesn’t translate over very well. The trip was an absolute blast, after learning the ropes and a few hundred shots they started to see a little success. Of course, naturally it turned into a friendly competition … listen in to see who has bragging rights now that they’re back home. 

The crew had a heart-pounding trip bowfishing these fish and while the fun factor is there they also touch on the other reason why this is such a good trip. What is the reason? Because of how invasive the carp have become here in the US. Carp have become a huge problem in many states, especially bad at Kentucky Lake. They cover exactly what wildlife management would like for you to do if you catch or shoot one.

They also did a little big-head carp fishing at night. The only downside to that?! Bugs! Arica was convinced that every bug in existence was around their boat!

The boys went to the Bassmaster Classic in Tennessee, got to hang out with some vendors, met a few pros, and took a selfie with the Godfather of flop, Mr. Bill Dance. Dan Johnson shares a legendary Bill Dance story with the one time he got beat!  We talk about the thrill of the big event and what the pros are doing to stay on fish. If you’ve ever wondered how one of these tournaments works, we’ve got your answers.

Dan Johnson from Sportsmen’s Empire is our featured guest once again, this time to talk about many of the new proposed rules and regulations around hunting. Dan talks through some of the issues and lets us know what’s happening and why hunters should be concerned. He talks about companies hiring lobbyists to push new hunting laws for the companies to make money. He also poses some difficult questions, like should we have a firearm season on whitetails during the rut, what role do wildlife managers serve, and who is really making these laws. He mentions you should contact your local representatives to share your opinions whether you support or disapprove of any new bills. Another great resource for hunters to stay “in the know” is by joining and supporting Sportsman’s Alliance. Hunters, anglers, trappers, and outdoorspeople should equally get involved with their state wildlife management agency to voice their concerns and express their wishes.

Angler Management offers opportunities to catch multiple species of fish. Alex has joined with several other Captains and boats to create the Lift Bridge Charters Association. A group dedicated to helping all anglers have the best experience possible. This group of Captains can work together to host groups of up to 42 people and are constantly communicating with one another about where the fish are and what they are biting on.

Alex Cuzzo owns Angler Management, a pristine 31' Tiara Pursuit that he uses to take groups of up to 6 people on fishing adventures on the largest of the Great Lakes. Alex has been fishing these waters for 15 years and decided to use his passion for fishing to help others experience all that Lake Superior has to offer. Angler Management offers opportunities to catch multiple species of fish. Alex has joined with several other Captains and boats to create the Lift Bridge Charters Association. A group dedicated to helping all anglers have the best experience possible. This group of Captains can work together to host groups of up to 42 people and are constantly communicating with one another about where the fish are and what they are biting on. Dan and Alex recap a recent trip where Dan and his family got to experience all of this first hand.

Dalton and John talk about all aspects of fly fishing, from beginner rods to the basic gear you need to get started. John asks about some flies that work well in Oklahoma as well as other places, and a few good bodys of water people should check out.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman podcast, Josh catches up with Mike from FLY ALL SZN. Mike is an avid fly fisherman who has traveled the US chasing trout on the fly. From the Appalachians to the Driftless to the mountains of Idaho and even the deserts of New Mexico, Mike’s passion for fly fishing has taken him all over the place. One of the unique things about Mike is how he combines his passion for fly fishing with his passion for fitness. It’s common in the hunting space to see folks highlight fitness as a way of going father and staying longer while hunting. It’s not everyday you hear someone talk about fishing in the same way, but Mike does!

Topics covered include how FLY ALL SZN started, how Mike got into fly fishing, backcountry fly fishing adventures, and why making content looks glamorous, but often sucks! To wrap things up, Mike shares some tips for beginning fly fishermen and anglers who will be targeting the Wisconsin Driftless.

Les and his son Keaton own and operate S&S Guide Service in the Lake Eufaula area, as well as fish the Crappie Masters National Trail. A unique aspect to this week's episode, is that John and his wife Mackenzie got to fish with Les prior to them recording this episode. So instead of just asking questions over the phone, Les got to teach John first hand. Now that John has a better grasp on the subject, his questions can be much more targeted and educational for the listeners.

Les brings all his knowledge from fishing tournaments and guiding to the table this week as he and John deep dive into the crappie fishing water. They cover Les's complete rod and reel setups for both guiding and tournaments, his crappie specific boat, and all the ins and outs of finding crappie. The two talk about water temperature, depth, and clarity and how the fish react to each. Les gives an explanation of livescope technology and how he uses it, as well as how it has completely changed how people fish for crappie. Les really knows his stuff, and is also just an overall great guide and person in general.

The guys both got out on the water over the past week.  Andrew was able to reel in a few walleye, while Paul was out pick up New York’s saltwater Sheep head…. ?  Paul did a little time in the woods, but no birds yet.  Across the state and Midwest it seems as though the birds are a bit lagging with the spring.  Fingers crossed the heat turns up here soon.  Good luck to those out this week!

Over the weekend, John fulfilled a bucket list adventure at the Blue River public fishing and hunting area managed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Not only did he catch his first Oklahoma trout, but also managed to make a giant fool of himself, and get distracted by some deer sign along the way.

After wrapping up the story of his fishing adventure, John shares two big deliveries that showed up at the ranch this week. One of them is going to make his upcoming deer seasons much more comfortable, and the other is an old friend that is going to help take his habitat work to the next level! John goes into detail about some exciting habitat work he has planned in the upcoming weeks, and how he now hopes to get more work done than he could have ever dreamed of.

Opening day of trout season in Pennsylvania is nearly a state holiday itself with thousands of anglers lining the recently stocked creek edges.  However, the length of streams stocked is a fraction to the 80,000+ miles of streams throughout the Keystone State.  There is more opportunity to catch native trout then most would think.  John enjoys the challenge of tying his own flies and casting his fly rod into pools that are sometimes smaller than a half ton pickup truck.  Everything about this type of fishing is a challenge – sometimes hiking long distances, wary fish, narrow windows to maneuver a fly rod, and John adds an additional element with a camera!  Make sure you tune into some of John’s fly-fishing videos that you will find informational and entertaining.  While you are at it, you just might find yourself scrolling through the reels of deer hunting videos.

One of my friends, Sean McVeigh recently took up ice fishing, which has been something I've done now for a couple decades. Being so new and not really being sure of all the ins and outs, Sean and I had talked quite a bit about how to get started. This included defining what the bare necessities are and what the pros and cons are for various levels of equipment. Ice fishing is another one of those things where it seems like you can spend as much or as little as you want, but there are definitely certain areas you don't want to skimp out on. We recorded this episode in the hopes that anyone else new to ice fishing might have a resource to look into and be able to help guide their decision making process for choosing rods, augers, line, reels, shelters, and electronics.

One thing that can easily get over looked by outdoorsmen is the fact that ice fishing requires some safety gear and precautions.  While breaking through ice may occur infrequently, accidents can happen and a lack of preparation could be costly.  Don shares his thoughts on the tools of the trade to keep you safe, comfortable, and successful.  We also talk a little about successful tactics as well as hot selling equipment for 2022.  If you are a beginner, check out the upcoming ice fishing program that Don tag-teams with the PA Fish & Boat Commission!

Lee and his family live on the east side of Michigan, striking distance of the biggest freshwater fishery in the U.S.  The Great Lakes also are habitat to waterfowl, major shipping lanes, and hold thousands of recreational boaters.  Due to a whole host of reasons, major impacts have his the lakes.  One being evasive, non native species.  While asian carp are at the front door, zebra mussels have moved in and made a mess (or the opposite I guess).  These mussels have multiplied without predation and filtered out vital nutrients used to feed native fish fry, and allowing sunlight to travel deeper, changing lake temps and affecting water vegetation.  But on the other side of the coin, the lakes have an amazing opportunity for many species of fish, including Zee’s favorite, walleye.  Zee talks about the fish spawning in the Detroit River and hundreds if not thousands of anglers on hand for the event.  The phrase goes, “you can hop from boat to boat and touch water.”  Nick certainly is putting that on his list to do, but improving his summer panfish game is on his mind.  Lee talks about sticking to early morning or evening, catching the cool hours of the day.  Locating weedy deep holes to find fish saying cool and staying hidden.  An adapted trick of using a ice fishing style jigging action seemed very doable for Nick who along with his rod, will be baiting and unhooking a could kiddos as well.  To finish off the conversation, Zee breaks down a refined recipe for walleye.  Preferring a breaded and baked approach topped with parmesan cheese and crisped up.  Leaving you satisfied, but not feeling like you had a cup of grease along with the fish.  Paired with a crisp cocktail or wine, you have a great meal for the middle of summer.

I brought Matt Faust on the podcast today, a fisheries biologist from the Ohio DNR, to help us all better understand Lake Erie’s walleye population and what makes it such a “factory” of walleye.  To understand it’s current state of production and health it is important to dive into the past and how Lake Erie has evolved and changed throughout the years.  Matt shares some very in depth knowledge and statistics to help us all better understand how walleye produce, survive and thrive in Lake Erie’s ecosystem.  Pay attention to feeding patterns and bait populations discussed during this episode to help you decide what lures to throw and where to find the schools of bait fish.  The real success comes to those who pay close attention!  Enjoy!!

In the perfect world I would say yes, but reality is, it is a hell of a bigger commitment than most realize.  However, my guest this week, Stephen Veals did just that.  He fished 365 days, every…. single….day for a year straight.  It is a hell of an achievement and after listening to his story, I have a tremendous amount of respect for what this guy went through and the challenges he faced in everyday life while staying committed to fishing daily.  It takes a lot of personal self awareness, improvement and mental toughness to stay committed that long to something that others might deem meaningless.  The fishing knowledge, skills acquired, obstacles overcome and self determination will be something no one can ever take from him.  I applaud Steve and I am happy that there are folks out there like him willing to share their story with us.  Enjoy!!!

I am joined by Martin Szeliga, a.k.a. The Airborne Angler.  Martin has such a unique story about how he migrated to this great country, to his time served in the military and how he fell in love with fishing.  Anyone who lives here in the state of Michigan, specifically the Saginaw Bay Area has probably got an ice scouting report or aerial view condition report from Martin.  You see Martin has taken his curiosity and love of angling to the sky’s to get a different perspective of the bay before heading out to fish. Over the years he decided to share his knowledge and use his flying skills to provide anglers with an arsenal of tools to use however they see fit to stay safe and make educated decisions before heading out on the big water.  The Airborne Angler’s obsession with figuring out walleye has led him to take a deeper dive in all aspects of fishing from locating structure, filming underwater bites with his Spydro Fishing cam, teaching us how to read our fish sonars, GPS and more.  Please do yourself a favor and check him out over at www.theairborneangler.com and listen to this entire podcast as it is filled with great conversation and a fascinating way to scout.  Please Subscribe!!

On this episode I am joined by two of the co-founders from Loxley Bowfishing.  Ryan Simmons and Jon Graves, two of the three founders of the company come on the podcast to share with us all their passion for Bowfishing and what it entails.  We discuss exactly what Bowfishing is, how they got started, the grass roots on why Ryan, Jon and Jake started Loxley Bowfishing, conservation and the importance of Bowfishing and much more.  The boys were also generous enough to offer all of YOU listeners a DISCOUNT CODE of FRESHWATER15 to save 15% off of your purchase over at loxleybowfishing.com .  Please give Loxley Bowfishing a follow on instagram and on FaceBook.

To fish or not to fish?  That is the big question we as anglers are facing in different parts of the country.  Here in Michigan, specifically southeast Michigan, Detroit is considered as a “hot zone” for the Covid 19 virus.  Now up until recently, I had intentions of still getting out on the water with friends to do a some much anticipated fishing for the walleye run.  However, after seeing a post from Wes Smith of the Metro Detroit Walleye Stalker group on Facebook, I reconsidered my desire to fish and I questioned myself.  I debated the risks and benefits in my mind and made a decision to NOT fish until things calm down.  The point of this episode is to NOT tell you what you should or shouldn’t do during these times as it pertains to fishing, but rather just to have you think for a minute of what you feel is the right thing.  I am joined by Wes and he gives a great perspective and how he came to the difficult decision to NOT fish during these times. We all love to fish but is now the right time?  Just some food for though.  I wish you all the best and stay safe out there. More great content to come.  Cheers!

Bill has been fishing in the big leagues for many years now and has become a staple name on the Cabela’s National Walleye Tour.

The boys go over how Bill got into one of his current business of rigging boats for other pro’s and walleye anglers. They discuss what items Bill has seen added to boats that are “game changers” in his opinion and some key highlights of the new Lowrance HDS Live Sonar.

Bill also delivers a ton of great value on the podcast and sheds some light on a technique he has become known for called “handlining”. Lee and Bill discuss why Bill thinks this style of fishing can be so effective on the rivers, how to go about rigging it and when to use it. River conditions in the spring time can change within a few hours and being able to adapt to those conditions using a unique style of fishing, like handlining may be the difference in putting more fish in the livewell or going home empty handed.

First Ice! I am just as excited as a kid on Christmas getting out all of my ice fishing gear. Rigging up new ice line on all the reels, organizing my tackle box for ice jigs and making sure my tip-ups are ready to go consume many evenings after a work day. However, I'll be one to admit that while getting all of the gear together is fun I often can be guilty of over looking the safety side of things. Yes, I know safety is not as fun but is the MOST important type of gear you can bring out.

Today's podcast I am joined by Bemidji Fire Department's Captain Trent Eineichner. Trent is the Fire Captain at the fire station and was nice enough to spend sometime with me on this episode going over ice safety. We talk everything from what is considered "safe ice", how ice forms on a lake, gear you should never leave home without, tactics to get out if you or a friend fall through and much more.

Every year we hear or see horror stories on social media of some folks that went through or were stranded out on the ice after a strong wind. Conditions are constantly changing and no matter how cold it is outside you should always use caution when heading out on the ice. My hope is that you guys give this episode a close listen and can walk away with at least one piece of information that you can implement as you head out onto the ice this year. I learned a few tips myself and glad that I took the time to go over the safety checklist as I gather up my ice fishing gear this season. If anything else, this is a fantastic refresher even to the seasoned ice angler. Stay safe and please give this one some attention.

People would then think that the pro really knew what he was doing and is a valuable asset to companies because of the gear they use. This is all true to a certain point but field staff positions have also changed and evolved over the recent years.

We talk about what it means to be a “Pro” on staff and how you may be able to bring value to a company with a unique set of skills outside of the obvious of catching big fish. Matt shares a personal story on why floating ice suits are important to have and we also talk budget friendly ice sonar units, more expensive ones, how to set them up and the importance of why you may want to think about adding a camera to your ice fishing arsenal.

It is important however to make sure you find the right online page or group that is right for you.

On this episode I ask Wes what it takes to have a successful online Facebook group.

Instantly there is a flood of confusing tasks that run through my mind as I mosey over to the bathroom to start getting ready for the day. However, when it comes to a day when I am going hunting or fishing, I almost greet my alarm clock prior to it going off. The adrenaline running through my veins and thinking about stepping into the outdoors on my next pursuit just makes waking up see a whole lot easier and of course coffee helps too. I would love to make a profession out of my fishing and hunting lifestyle but I sometimes wonder if it would change my perception of my passion of the outdoors if it meant whether or not my bills would be paid at the end of the month.

Chris Granrud is one of those folks who wakes up everyday to greet not only his customers but Mother Nature and whatever fish may be or may not be biting. Chris is the owner and operator of RainyDaze Guide Service. It takes a individual, wired in a certain way, to want to take on fish guiding as a career and still have the passion at the end of the day for themselves to still enjoy. In this episode I talk to Chris on what it takes to be a fishing guide. He talks about how he risked it all, quit his job and moved 350 miles away to start a fishing guide business. He doubled down on his true love and passion in life and he reflects on how that journey has been and what you can do if thinking of starting a guide business yourself.

Chris is also the sales manager at JT Outdoor Products. I ask Chris to share with us three products from JT that we should look at to help us put more fish on the ice this upcoming winter.

I have always had an enormous amount of respect for guides in any outdoor adventures whether that be elk, moose, bear, salmon, walleye or whatever species you put paying customers on. There are so many variables that can factor into your success on a daily basis. The weather, fish, animals, boats or equipment doesn't care you are trying to run a business. At the end of the day as a guide, it's how you have adapted to your environment, equipment and most of all customers on whether you are laying the ground work for a future career or going back to punching a clock. It takes deep passion, determination and a never quit attitude to wake up everyday.

For me as I drive by West Bay in the morning and gaze out at the charter boats heading out into Lake Michigan, I always give credit to those captains following their passion, hope the fish are biting, customers are happy and that their cups are as full of passion for the outdoors as mine is.

Cheers
Lee

You know him as a PWT world champ, fishing promoter throughout the U.S and Canada, "Mr. Walleye at Night" and a member of the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame just to name a few.

I have to admit with a resume like Mark's I'd thought there would be little chance he would reply to my email to sit down and do a podcast with me. However, Mark proved to me why he is so well liked in our sport of fishing and sat down to give me the longest podcast episode I have to date. Nearly two hours! From his youtube channel "Mark Martin's Outdoor Adventures", writing articles for major magazines, speaking at seminars and preparing for another successful Ice Fishing Vacation School, Mark has plenty to keep him busy. He has been fishing well over 40 years and tournament fishing for more than 30!

What is this dude talking to me for and what could we possibly spend almost two hours talking about you might ask? Everything,from Mark's humble beginnings and learning not just how to fish for a living but how to be successful at promoting the sport of fishing. We even somehow tied in walleye and whitetail deer similarities and how we pursue both in a similar style. I also ask Mark on how he can get walleye to bite in certain lake conditions and scenarios that I hope you can try out on one of your adventures.

Since starting this blog and podcast I have learned a ton about not only how to catch more fish but more importantly the stories behind the people catching the fish. To me, finding out who the person is and their story tells a lot about how they catch fish. I'd like to think that after listening to these podcasts you can walk away with a tip or two that you can use in the field but what I think you will remember most are the legacy's these outdoorsman are creating.

I want to thank Mark for coming on the show and please take time to check out some of Mark's projects in the links below.

Cheers,
Lee

Temperatures staying in the high 90's and for some above 100 degrees this time of year defines the "dog days" of summer. For some anglers it can be some of the toughest bites to find, but it doesn't have to be. Here on this episode, Joe Okada, professional walleye angler comes on to help us through the heat of the summer and drops a ton of useful knowledge we can all put to use during these long summer days.

Joe is one of the most down to earth dude's that I have met in this industry and I cannot say enough great things about the guy. He is a staple and one of the biggest names in the professional walleye angling world today. Joe takes the time to join me on the podcast to talk about his humble beginnings as a young angler, the influence of his father, what it takes to be a professional walleye angler and some great summertime tactics for putting more walleye in your boat during these hot summer months.

When Joe is not fishing tournaments he can be found guiding on his local bodies of water in Wisconsin, conducting interviews, appearances and other events to continue to be a key ambassador to the sport of fishing. You can follow Joe over on his website at www.joeokada.com or on Twitter @joeokada. I want to thank Joe again for taking the time to hang with me on the podcast and it is one conversation I hope to continue in the future.

I'll admit that is the first thing that used to pop into my head being a native Michigander myself. After talking to Nick Day from the Michigan Muskie Alliance however, Nick sheds some light on some other Muskie opportunities in the state of Michigan that you may not have been aware of. Actually in the NW lower peninsula Nick talks about a 58 pound muskie that was caught in one of the chain of lakes around the Traverse City area (click the blue link above 58 pound muskie).

More importantly Nick informs us what the Michigan Muskie Alliance organization (MMA) is doing to grow and preserve Muskie populations throughout the state of Michigan. Nick is currently the president of MMA organization and he joins me on the podcast today to tell us about some new rules and regulations that have been added this year that you may not be aware of. We talk about proper handling and how to safely release these fish so when you when you find yourself with one on the other end of your rod you can do so confidently.

Now, I have never fished for Muskie before in the state of Michigan and you might be in the same situation as I. It is a species of fish that I want to pursue in the near future and I feel grateful that I have many opportunities to do so throughout the state. However, this would not be possible without groups like the Michigan Muskie Alliance who are out there actively preserving our Muskie fishery. I think of my own children and future generations who should have the same opportunity to fish or hunt for different species as we all enjoy today. Conservation is the core and lifeline for our future outdoor pursuits and if we don't protect and conserve our wildlife today we may find ourselves reminiscing on "the good ole days" of a certain species. One thing I hope to never have to think back and say in my lifetime...

We talk about the famous "hot box" and how that one great idea turned into Joe growing his company from the ground up to now producing industry leading open water and ice fishing rods. JT also has four brand new open water rods just released this spring and we talk about how Technique Specific rods are necessary to help put more fish in the boat when fishing a certain type of bite. There are some great takeaways from this episode if you have ever thought of starting a business in the outdoor industry as Joe is very open and honest about his business model.

I am super grateful to know this dude and I hope you guys enjoy the episode.
