Date: April 17, 2010

 

Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm

 

Location: Scheels, River Hills Mall, 1850 Adams Street - Ste 6, Mankato, MN

 

On Saturday, April 17th, 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 jig fishing, live bait rigging, spinners, and crank baits all before lunch. After a lunch break, marine electronics 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: Omaha, NE, St. Cloud, MN, Billings, MT, Rapid City, SD, Sioux Falls, SD, and Fargo, ND.

 

This year, special guest Bruce “Doctor Sonar” Samson will be presenting his Understanding Sonar Seminar. Doc (as he is known in the professional ranks) is considered the best in the business at understanding what his fish finder is telling him. Bruce is a two time national champion, a four time PWT tournament winner and a past winner of the Norb Wallock Teaching Award.

 

“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, River Hills Mall in Mankato, MN on Saturday, April 17th, 2010. It begins at 8:30 am and runs until 5:00 pm. Every person in attendance will receive a package that includes a printed version of Walleye University and a $10 gift card from Scheels. Please pre-register as seating is limited. The cost of the school is $50. Register at Scheels Customer Service in Mankato or by calling 507.386.7767
