Fishing made easy

Originally I was ticketed to head up to Bass Pro this Saturday for some seminars and to help teach kids on the ins and outs of ice fishing. But, through some miscommunication they expected me on Sunday as well.  No can do, leaving town on Sunday for Minnesota. 

So if anyone takes the trip to Auburn Hills,  Brian “Bro” Brosdahl and Dave Young will be there.  You might recognize Brian’s name, as Northland has an ice jig named after him, called the “Bro Bug”.  Dave is from middle, slightly western side of our state.  An outstanding angler in his own right, he and his partner were right in the thick of the team of the year race last season on the Trap Attack tour.

From a recent flyer there seems to be some excellent sales going on at the store next weekend.  The Fish Trap Scout and CLAM 2000 portable shanties are on sale for only $159.88,  depending on where you shop, thats $40 to $70 dollars off.  The Scout is just the next size down from the Pro that I have pictured in the other blog topics.

I see some starter kits for panfish and walleye. 10 bucks is not a bad price for a 50 and 40 piece kit, respectively.  The Mag 2000 StrikeMaster Power Auger is $50 off, and thats a good price for good dependable auger @ $269.88.  There are some decent prices on some pretty popular jigs and spoons, too.  The blue Ice Armor suit is only $249.95.  I have had one of these for a few years,  and its both waterproof and windproof.  Its has padding in the knees and butt section of the bibs, and the jacket is full of useful pocket space.  Well worth the investment there.

There’s a bunch more stuff on sale that any ice angler could use starting out.  If you have some of the equipment already, here is a good chance to reload on some of your favorite gear.
