Away from the office all day today, so I’m just reading through this post…..
First off, let me start out saying that I’m the caller to last Sunday’s show. And if you only heard last Sunday’s show and not the one preceding it, then you would not understand my call or the reason I was pissed off. (Still am by the way…)
In that show they spent the second hour of the show talking about an un-named website and how a reporter was giving out exact spots and including gps coordinates, specifically mentioning pool 2 several times. They also took like minded calls from listeners basically agreeing it’s not good for fishing or pool 2. For the record I was not able to get a call to the show on that Sunday. Furthermore, I sent several e-mails to both Fisher and Bohlig during the week after the show and they were not returned. KSTP 1500 AM would not give me a phone number to contact either of them. They left me no choice to call them on the air with my complaint.
Now, all I wanted them to do was simply state the website they were talking about. Only fair as they spent an entire hour of their 2 hr show discussing it. If it was another site, fine, then I’m the idiot. But pinned down, they would not answer the question. I pressed hard and still will. Why?
1. They know dam well they were talking about this site.
2. This site or it’s reporters have never given out exact locations or gps coordinates on pool 2
3. Furthermore, our site visitors and forum posters to my knowledge have never given out exact wingdam locations or gps coordinates where fish are being caught on pool 2. If someone here can dig up an old post or report to prove me wrong, I have an IDA hat and decals for you.
So, to sum it up. Don’t dis this site or it’s reporters or contributor over the airwaves and not expect a sharp and stinging response. Especially when both Fisher and Bohlig did no show prep. If they did, they would have found a website with up to date, accurate information about how, when and where to catch fish. Exact spots – no. Have a personal problem with someone, don’t put it over the air. What they did was irresponsible and I have lost all respect for both of them and will not listen to their show again.

I didn’t hear the show last night, but I got a phone call this morning from a good friend that did listen to it. Seems that Fisher and Bolig where very upset with some people here, namely Steve DeZurik, for telling everything about fishing pool 2 and the fact he was tied directly to IDA. Seems they think he/IDA are giving way to much info out to the public about how and where to fish the river and it’s starting to hurt their fishing on P2.
The above phone conversation appears to confirm my position.
Lastly, they cut me off before I was done. So, Mark, Larry… I left my phone number with your producer. Larry, you said on the air. “Jon called back and left his number. He wants me to call him back.” I’m still waiting for that call. Return it or I will be forced to call your show again!
Secondly, I have followed DeeZee’s reports like probably most people here. The best info I can get out of his reports is general locations (current breaks, slack water, wing dams, etc). Helpful you bet, but is it exact locations and GPS coordinates? Far from it. Thirdly, I heard second hand this topic came about on this radio show (Hurting Pool 2) from another P2 Guide and River guide (Won’t mention names, but if you listen to the show you probably know and he was on the back page of Sundays Mpls. paper 
) that just can’t quite seem to produce as much anymore 
It really boils down to pure unadulterated envy and jealousy. I hope you (Steve and everyone else who posts on here) continue to do what you do best…catch nice fish, teach the rest of us how to do the same, and we all have fun doing it!
