It's Out There!

“Tomorrow’s Angler Fish Quest” AND Fishing Mille Lacs Lake

  Welcome to Deb Priepke, Business Development Manager at Mercury Marine.   We are excited about the  “Tomorrow’s Angler Fish Quest” and Deb is going to tell us about it.  It is held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin Sunday July 14.
Get the kids outdoors!

“Tomorrow’s Anglers Fish Quest Tournament is a nonprofit event, which was conceived for the sole purpose of promoting fishing tough a youth tournament whose format is modeled off real professional fishing circuits. A child and his or her parent are paired with a professional angler in a fully rigged boat for a day on the water learning and catching fish. The day concludes with each child coming to a stage with his catch where he will have his fish weighed-in, describe his day in an interview, and hold his catch up for the crowd. This grand scale event promises to be an unforgettable day for each child. Generous prizes have been donated and will be awarded to the children.”

Next we are going to gab with Mike Larson of “Larson’s Quality Jigs”  – dissecting and fishing Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota.  Mille Lacs means

“thousand lakes” in French.  It is a large and shallow lake in Minnesota and Mike know the lake well and will fill us in on what has been working this summer so far.

Mike Larson started Larson’s Quality Jigs three years ago with one goal in mind: To provide custom painted tackle of the highest quality. Mike got his start custom painting open water jigs as this was a staple in his fishing arsenal on his home waters of the Mississippi River. He quickly realized that custom painted jigs, more times than not, put more fish in the boat.  And he decided to share his expertise and he started a business.
