“Walleye fishermen and bass fishermen are two different kinds of fishermen,” Lyback said. “Walleye fishermen tend to stay a couple of days. They bought bait. They’d go to restaurants. They put a little more money in the area.
“Bass fishermen, by the time they show up, they have everything they need in their tackle box.” Eddy Lyback
I am a little confused by Mr. Lyback’s comment about bass fisherman. I go on bass fishing trips and stay overnight. I like to eat and go to restaurants/bars. I also need to fill my Ranger with 40 gallons of gas now and than, along with my pickup that I need to haul it with. I have been to Florida and Texas and have employed guides for bass fishing. The only thing different is I don’t buy live bait, but if you had the “hot” color of tube for Mille Lacs, I would buy it. I guarantee I “put money in the area”.
