Fishing experience:

I have been fishing since the age of 4 (43years

of fishing). I grew up in Webster, SD, South

Dakota's glacial lakes region, where I waded miles

of shorelines fishing for walleye, white bass,

northern pike or anything else that would bite. I

am fortunate that my father loves the outdoors

as much as I do. He seemed to always make time

for me and started my passion for fishing and

hunting as I tagged along at a very early age.

Fourteen years ago, my wife and I moved

to Mobridge. The water was a huge draw for us

as we had spent several weekends here for eight

summers prior to moving. The lake still has

its allure and I / we fish as often as time allows.

Guiding experience:

I have taken people fishing on Lake Oahe over

the past 16 years. My first trips to the lake took

place in 1989, and I've fished the lake through

periods of high water and low water.

Tournament experience:

I fish several tournaments every summer, ranging

from the SD/ND border on Lake Oahe to the

Akaska / Moreau River Area. I fished 5 in 2006,

finishing in the top 10 in 4 of them; with a 2nd

being the best. My best finish in 2007 was again

a 2nd.

2009 started ok with a 40 out of 125 boats and

then a win in the Mobridge Chamber Tourney.

These tournaments have made me comfortable

fishing the entire upper 1/3rd of the reservoir.

Michigan Stinger Spoons

Guide Staff

Trolling spoons work great on Oahe.

Check my weblog on the home page

for a write-up about my use of them.

They make a great one-two punch

when combined with crankbaits.

Berkley Fishing

every time out.

Smack Tackle

Guide Staff

These cranks are bass killers when the

fish are feeding on gizzard shad.

Why wouldn't they work on walleye?

I've used them and they work. They

look great, run even better, are super

durable and best of all - they catch a

lot of walleye.

Cisco Fishing Systems

Others:

I am a high school science teacher

track coach for the Mobridge-Pollock

school district.

In the spring of 2009 I had the idea to

teach fishing classes to kids and their

parents. This has grown into a non-

profit organization.

"Outdoors 101 Project" is now a 501c3

non-profit organization and is growing

quickly, with high hopes for the

future.

Hunting:

A few years ago I started calling

coyotes and find it to be a real

"hoot". I don't get out as often as I'd

like and I still have a lot to learn.

I have been bowhunting since 1977

and am a member of the "Oahe

Bowman", our local archery club.

Check out the photos page 2011 pics

to see the deer my kids and I have

recently harvested.
