Learn how to fish for Muskies, Walleyes, and Bass
Attendees will learn about fishing area lakes from four-time Minnesota
Fishing Hall of Fame award winner, Brady Baxter. Hear how to locate
the best spot to fish and how to choose the right lure and tactic at the
right time. Anglers will leave this seminar with a game plan to catch
more fish on any lake. Most native game fish species will be covered
during Brady’s presentation. He will also share his perspective on the
latest fishing equipment, boats, and more! Brady will have his boat
and equipment with him, and there will be hands-on opportunities
throughout. Bring your questions!
