3/11/17     I took part in a fishing panel and helped customers with Humminbird, MinnKota, Lund, and Mercury questions at R&R Marine Shakopee’s Open House. Good questions and discussion as well as free lunch seemed to satisfy everyone. Pulled home my new Lund, background left photo, after the event was over. 2018 R&R Marine’s Open House will be on Saturday, February 24th. Fishing and electronics seminars, boat and accessories specials, free parking, and free lunch. Look for me at this event at the intersection of MN Hwy 41 and U.S. 169 to talk boats or fishing. Go to Rapid Marine’s website for exact times for specific events. See you there. 

 

      

3/4/17     I did a walleye fishing seminar at the Hutch Sports Show at the McLeod County Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, MN. Good turn out and great questions were much appreciated. Hope I was able to help in some way.
