With 105 kids and over 200 parents gathered around the stage Marianne Huskey expounded upon the importance of “Cleaning, Draining and Drying your boat to prevent the spread of invasive species”.
Eric Olson #165 took the stage next as the home town favorite Pro Angler as he shared his knowledge to help teach the kid and their parents some local techniques used on the Mississippi River. Topics discussed included color choice of crank baits in stained water, downsizing your baits and the importance slowing down your trolling speed in cooler water temperatures.
After the seminar the kids marched single file behind Rick Zachowski #231 to receive prizes handed out by NPAA members Mark Brumbaugh #70, Glenn Vinton #280, Dusty Minke #612, Eric Olson #165 and Marianne Huskey NPAA #150.
