On Saturday, May 14th, we held our spring Guide for a Day event.  We had 14 guest attend with 11 guide-boats available.  We had a great time with 5 fish total caught (33, 33, 35, 37, and 43).  Most fish were caught later in the day.  Client Ken Street hooked into two fish within 15 minutes of each other off of the exact same structure while trolling with Jerry Ford.  Walt Krause helped his client to a nice 43 caught trolling coming out of the no-wake area.  After fishing the clients and guides all met up at the Bunkhouse where John Wright cooked up a bunch of steaks with all the trimmings capping an overall successful day.  

 

We greatly appreciate the participation of our paid guests and our volunteer guides.  This event is one of our largest fund raising activities.  The funds raised allow our club to afford numerous projects and outreach programs that benefit our lake and local communities.  Feel free to check out our “Giving Back” page for more details.

Guide for a Day

 

Each year, we have a spring and a fall Guide for a Day event.  The spring event takes place on 19 May 2012.  The fall event takes place on 19 September 2011.  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 dinner is provided after the guided trip.  This is a great opportunity to fish a nice lake with a knowledgeable club member and learn about musky angling tools and techniques — all for a very modest price.  Proceeds from this event go towards programs that improve the quality of Muskie fishing.
