Thanks Kevin, Marty and Randy

Thanks for putting on the river seminar at The Bluffs today.

Wow! What a crowd ! I counted well over a hundred people!

I guess I’m not the only one that thinks you’re the best!!

WKW

Agreed! Good turnout and information, Thanks again guys

Pete

What a great turnout for a day a person could be out fishing!

MN DNR Fisheries Manager Kevin Stauffer kicked off the seminars with the sturgeon portion and ended his talk with an update of the pool 4 walleye/sauger data. Sounds like 2012 might be a very good year!

Next up was Professional Guide Marty Hahn talking about Pre Spawn walleye/sauger tactics. Marty pointed out keeping notes on levels, flow and tactics used will put more fish in your boat through out the year.

Here’s Marty in the question and answer portion of the seminar.

River Rat Randy was clean up batter and covered off on some of the rigging for post spawn fish in the river.

I think that Miller Rig is going to be a hot seller at Everts!

I have to thank Shooter of the Bluff’s Bar and Grill for providing the perfect location to talk fishing!

Kevin, Marty and Randy for providing all the info and staying around after the seminars to answer questions.

And last but not least, thanks to all the folks that stopped in to gain some more knowledge of this great fishery we call Pool 4.

So? How was the Cheese Curds?

The burger was great, the cheese curds are the best, and the honey barbeque sauce they serve with them is out of this world. I want to thank BK, Marty, Randy, & Kevin for their presentations and Bluff’s for letting us set up shop for the afternoon and everyone else involved in helping. I grade the presentations by what I learn and though you may not have scripted presentations I give them an A+. I’m also glad that I got to meet a few fellow IDOers in person. I hope to see a few of you out on the water now that I may recognize you. I will be making a few trips to Bluffs. I hope you guys hold a few more of these.

Yeah! Thanks Shooter ! You have a great place there.
The beer ain’t bad either!!
WKW

Great time, good burgers and I got lots of notes, thanks all for a really good seminar.

Thank-you everyone at the Bluff’s for a good information filled program.
Jack

Wow Congrats on the turn out sounds like it was a hit. The womans brother and his wife were in town from Florida so didnt get to make the seminar Sure hope that my fishing partner soaked up as much info as possible and learned a thing or 2. Once again Congrats Marty, Rat Randy, Kevin, Shooter and BK for the turnout, thats pretty awesome

Al and I actually came close to hopping in the truck but it would have been a 565 mile round trip … I’ll bet it was a goodun!

I wanted to be there but family first, jreyes had a swim meet.

You were certainly welcome to attend Moreye’s be none of the speakers talked about bass anyway.

Thanks guys lots of good info. It was good to see everyone.

Hey BK can you ask Dean if the ramps are open?

Fantastic job guys!

Thank you for coming down Justin.

I know there were a lot of folks looking for you to get their insurance quotes.

You aren’t forgetting to add them to the $50. gift certificate drawing now are you?

A great turnout indeed! I cant believe Marty & Randy let that many “cats out of the bag” with their presentations.

THANKS to all that came! I had a great time, it was fun to see a lot of old faces and meet new ones. It sure was a learning experience for me,being my first time as a speaker. I tried to just wing it but if there is a next time, i will have some notes to help me stay on track. I only covered about half of what i had planned to talk about

Ditto on what Randy said. Thanks to all who attended. Great to put faces on some familiar names.

Does that mean there might be a second set of seminars?

What was that website to get dam flow?

I have some if its ok to post them????

Great seminar, I now have a few more idea’s about how to wander pool 4 aimlessly, but at least look good doing it..I’d be up for Seminar 2..

Al

I never say never, but I doubt we’ll be seeing a sequel this spring anymore. Most are ramping up for the spring push in guiding.

If you haven’t booked a date with these guys and were planing on it…now is the time or take your chances.

Dont forget to book an “adventure” with BK as well
