We celebrate Independence Day weekend with an Outdoor Magazine radio show full of outdoor news and information.
I kick off the program talking about my recent tour of Michigan. It’s good to hit the road sometimes and be reminded what a beautiful state we have. My recent walleye fishing adventures on Saginaw Bay are also a topic of discussion.
Then, Tom Galley of the Firefly Company joins me to talk about an interesting new product he’s come up with. It’s an electronic wind detector that can detect even the smallest breeze and wind thermal.
We wrap up the hour with Randy Jorgenson of Woods-n-Waternews. Randy talks about his recent trip fishing for bass in a kayak as well as the latest edition of his magazine.
In the second hour I have a very interesting conversation with a very interesting guy…..Chris Brackett. Chris is most recently known for hosting the cutting edge archery television show called Arrow Affliction, but he first hit the national scene with Extreme Aerial Bowfishing, that company specializes in bowfishing for silver carp on the Illinois River. Since Chris has lots of experience with those big Asian Carp, I wanted to get his thoughts on what role they might play once they get into the Great Lakes. Surprisingly, Chris says not everything about those fish is bad.
Next, Tony Hansen of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs joins me. Tony talks about the interviews on his website with all Michigan’s gubernatorial candidates and what they have to say on hunting and fishing issues.
In the final hour we head north to the Upper Peninsula and Tom Gudwer of Fishing Fever Charters. Tom tells me about the adventure of fishing for big lake trout on Lake Superior’s Stannard Rock. We also discuss trolling for king salmon out of Manistique and some great fall walleye action near Escanaba.
As always, the show wraps up with Chef Dixie Dave Minar. This time the chef has a nice stuffed walleye recipe.
A busy and informative show this week. I hope you enjoy it.
