2007 Guide for a Day

On Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th we held our spring Guide for a Day event. We had Thirteen guest attend. Unfortunately, fishing was very tough and only three fish were caught.

Club member Barry Wesley cooked up a fantastic evening meal on both nights that included grilled steaks, corn on the cob, baked beans, spinach salad and cookies for dessert. The meal alone was worth the trip.

On Saturday, October 20th we held our fall Guide for a Day event. A total of six fish were caught, with the fish of day being a 46” beauty CPR’rd by guest Judd Stover.

Once again, club member Barry Wesley cooked up an excellent meal. This time it consisted of roasted pork loin, tossed salad, scalloped potatoes, cake and pie. We all needed a nap after eating.

Guide for a Day

Each year, we have a spring and a fall Guide for a Day event. The spring event takes place in May. The fall event takes place in October. Both events are held on beautiful Lake Kinkaid near Murphysboro, IL. Participates meet at the Paul Ice Boat Ramp & Recreational Area. Fishing time is 8:00 A.M till 4:00 P.M each day. A steak dinner is provided after the guided trip. This is a great opportunity to fish a nice lake with a knowledgeable club member. Proceeds from this event go towards programs that improve the quality of Muskie fishing. We will have more specific info on the 2008 Guide for a Day as time gets closer.
