On Saturday, April 24th, 2010, professional angler Johnnie Candle will present an all new Walleye University.
Johnnie is coming off of a great season that highlights a 15 year career as a professional angler. Last season he placed 4th overall in the MWC Western Division and qualified for the World Walleye Championship as well as the National Team Championship. He is excited to share many of the techniques that helped him get there.
This 8-hour class deals with fine points of catching walleye in rivers, reservoirs and natural lakes all before lunch. After a lunch break, local fishing opportunities and targeting trophy walleye will be discussed. The day will end with talk of what’s new and exciting in walleye catching tackle. There will be plenty of time for specific
questions as well.
“Sharing knowledge is a big part of professional angling,” says Candle, “and it's very rewarding. I have traveled nearly coast to coast to fish for walleye, and the techniques that I have learned during those travels are taught in this school.”
Walleye University was first introduced in Bismarck, ND during the spring of 2000. It was such a big hit that it was decided to take the show on the road. Since Bismarck, the seminar has been presented to hundreds of walleye anglers in eight different states. Stops this year include: Sioux Falls, SD, Omaha, NE, St. Cloud, MN, Billings, MT, Mankato, MN, and Rapid City, SD.
This year, as part of Walleye University, special guest Corey Heiser will be sharing his knowledge of walleye fishing in the Fargo/Moorhead area. Last year Corey represented the Devils Lake Angler Young Angler team in the International AYA Championship as well as qualified for the MWC World Walleye Championship from the western division.
“There is no other place to learn this much about walleye fishing in one day,” Candle says, “and the tips and tricks learned at the Walleye University will make you a better fisherman. You will learn the tactics to deal with those tough days on the water and make every fishing trip more successful.”
Walleye University will be held at Scheels, 1551 45th Street South, Fargo, ND on Saturday, April 24th, 2010. It begins at 8:30 am and runs until 5:00 pm.
