    The bite should be good for the ARM event… and the GTG weekend. Here’s that last report I put up. >>> Upper Pool 4 Fishing Report

    The morning of the ARM event Dustin and I always point guys in the right direction to get them on the best walleye bite going and what baits and gear to use.

    James,
    The brother-in-law from Australia is in town that week so I imagine he will come along and help out on shore. He is really pretty entertaining, we can get him talking fast and try to figure out what the heck he said.

    Keep em comin guys. Last count was 28 big/littles from Minnesota and 15 plus from Wisconsin. This is your chance to make a difference in someones life and have alot of fun at the same time. Plus there are guides to point you in the right direction. Thanks everyone in advance for helping make this a great day.
    Thanks, Bill

    I do plan on coming. Had a great time last year. Which was my first time ever there. I do plan on bringing my boat if I can get the lights fixed on the trailer. Will know in the next day or 2 here.

    this is great, I love to see the support for such a great event. My little (the other one in the picture) has been so pumped to get back down there for his last year in the BB/BS program. I have heard from both the twin cities and St. Cloud chapter on how the people the have signed up enjoyed the event last year. you may not think that you are making much of a difference, but you certainly do and they will remember you for years to come when they are telling their fishing stories to their buddies. so if you have the erge to want to help, please do, you will not regret it!! I promise!!

    see you all in a few weeks.

    I wish I could make it this year but I just can’t get off work. Good luck guys and have fun.

    For anybody that is thinking of volunteering for this but is still undecided, this is a great and fullfilling event. More than that it is a great time.
    If any of you are thinking that your fishing ability might not be enough for this there will be plenty of people that are very knowledgable down at Evert’s before this that will point you in the right direction. Most of these kids just like to get out for a ride and to have fun. Any fish you might catch are really just a bonus. Just do a search and look at the pictures from past years and you will see what a blessing this event is for both the guides and the bigs/littles.

    Unfortunately I will not be able to make this year either as I am also not able to get out of work.
    I look forward to this event every year it is by far my favorite day on the water for the whole year. I can not begin to explain how great of a feeling and how rewarding it is to see the smiles on these kids faces when you get them out on the water. If the fish are not cooperating go for a boat ride and let the kid drive they will have a blast! Like Gator said if you are still undecided about volunteering take the leap and go for it I promise you won’t regret it, in fact it just might be the best thing you ever do.

    Here are some pics from last years event.
