Spring is here and I’m ready for some warmer weather! I’m in the middle of the Fleet Farm turkey
seminar tour and will also be mixing in a trip to Lake Winnipeg for the giant
greenbacks (walleyes). There’s still a
lot of ice in our neck of the woods and some of the best pan fishing is right
around the corner. Then it won’t be long
for the turkey opener!
The next few We Love It! Outdoors shows cover both fishing and hunting. This week you will see Bruce Meinz and myself
out on the Gull Lake chain in central Minnestoa. Bruce is a guide and Gull Lake is our home
water. It’s not very often two of us get
to fish together but the last time we did, Bruce was running the boat so now
it’s my turn. The late fall is a great
time to be on the water: not many people, and a lot of hungry walleyes that are
loading up for the hard water season.
Typically Bruce and I are jigging and rigging but we learned a new
technique and will be putting that to use as we attack these Gull Lake
walleyes.
The next show you will see my very first muzzleloader hunt ever
and it was an awesome experience! Bruce
Hudalla, who has a beautiful piece of property in west central Minnesota,
invited me out to join Todd Hess and some other friends on this little slice of
white tail heaven. I feel pretty spoiled
to be able to hunt such a well-managed piece of property. The fact that the muzzleloader was totally
new to me, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it turns out I will be doing
this the rest of my life. Some people
may be intimidated by a muzzleloader, but in my opinion it’s a lot easier to
operate than I thought. And we’ve got
some meat in the freezer; you’ll have to watch to see how that happens.
Get out and enjoy this weather! -Dan
