I am going to relay a couple of things that may be known to some of the more savvy walleye anglers out
there, but may not be to the vast masses of anglers. In doing so, I will also share how to combine the
two into what I personally feel is the hottest livebait technique available today.  Smiling Slow Death

The Long and Short of Jigs

I recently had the privilege of attending the 11^th Annual Mobridge Ice Fishing Tournament and associated festivities on January 13^th and 14th.  This is touted as the largest Ice Fishing Tournament in the world and accurately so. Mobridge Ice Article

Once we have decent ice and are no longer limited to fishing shorelines, mobility becomes a key
component in our level of success as we are now able to fully explore every nook and cranny of the lake.
As with most things, having a tried and true system in place not only keeps thing simple and organized,
but also contributes heavily in keeping a good attitude and that definitely equates to more fish on the
ice.
The first order of business is our chosen mode of transportation.

BOLD IS BETTER THAN BASHFUL when it comes to the use of livebait to tempt big walleyes. I use a straightforward system that relies on large, lively chubs presented below tip-ups to tempt big fish. Big wall­eyes are finely tuned feeding machines that do their best to fill their bellies quickly, which is why they find it hard to resist a big chub. Retro system? Yes, but it works, especially when you fine tune the process.   Read the full article – Retro Walleyes Chubbing Big Fish

If you have a passion for fishing, EYETIME PROMOTIONS is your ticket for an enjoyable and successful day on the water. Whether your preference is Walleye, Jumbo Perch, Small and Large Mouth Bass, Large Northerns, or any other fish for that matter. We will cater to your wishes. I am a true Multi-Species Angler with an emphasis on Walleye, open and hard water alike. I can personally guarantee you that no one will work harder to ensure that your day on the water is satisfying in every respect.

I take a different and unique approach and philosophy to guiding. I am committed to catching the biggest (size does matter!) and most fish possible on any given day and will go to any length needed to accomplish this. Therefore, I will not take the easy route and put you on “Guide Fish” (small-easily caught fish close to the ramp). You will be fishing the same exact fish and using the techniques, lures, and rods I would be if competing in a Tournament. Nothing is held back…I want to catch quality fish as much or more than you do.

Your time on the water will also be a learning experience. I take great pride in passing along any knowledge I can to help you become a more well rounded angler. Not only will you be exposed to cutting edge techniques, patterns, and equipment: you will leave with a full understanding of Why and How these methods work, as well as insight on applying them to your home waters. The educational aspect of the sport is truly important to me as evidenced by the numerous articles I have penned for Local, Regional, and National Publications such as In-Fisherman and The Walleye Insider over the past couple of years. Please see Articles section.

I focus the majority of my efforts on the Missouri River Reservoirs of South Dakota and the numerous lakes in the Glacial Lakes region of Northeast South Dakota. I also have considerable experience and am able to accommodate trips in North Dakota on waters such as Sakakawea and Devil’s Lake.

Of particular interest is Oahe: Water levels have now rose to full pool and the fish and forage in this phenomenal body of water have rebounded to levels at or exceeding the glory days-resulting in both in numbers and size. Oahe is famous for its’ “football” shaped fish and believe me…they are back. If you have experienced this in the past-you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t-you owe it to yourself to get in on some of the fastest action imaginable.

South Dakota has a well known and deserved reputation for the incredible Walleye fisheries in both the Missouri River Reservoirs and Glacial Lakes. A vastly overlooked option that some folks are just beginning to discover is the untapped opportunity that Small Mouth Bass offer. Numerous fish in the 3 pound class are available with 5 pound plus fish very obtainable; particularly in a few of the Glacial Lakes along with Large Mouths up to 7 pounds. Just another possibility you may want to consider when booking your trip.

For 2011: I will now be offering a limited number of Corporate Packages. Space is limited and if interested, it would be wise to book soon.

To this end: I have become heavily involved in conducting Children’s Events across the country while at Professional Walleye Tournament venues. This is but a small step and more commitment is needed from those who make fishing their livelihood. Whether it be Manufacturers, Retailers, Tournament Participants, or Outdoor Writers.

I have also been trying to touch as many people as I can through my writing efforts. My entire focus is on Educational Articles dedicated to improving the success rate of the angling public. Thus, greater satisfaction and increased participation. Please check out the Articles Section of this site to learn more.

I partner with a few select companies that I believe strongly in on a Sponsorship Basis to promote their products and ultimately increase sales. I do not take this task lightly and am diligent in providing them with tangible results. This is accomplished through a number of means that include but are not limited to: Tasteful exposure in Regionally and Nationally Published Articles, Television presence, Personal Appearances including Seminars and Children’s Events, Highly Visible Presence in Professional Walleye Tournaments, and Hands on Demonstration while Guiding.

If you are interested in seeing what I can do for your company, please don’t hesitate to contact me and begin an informal discussion. If you would like references I would encourage you to contact any of my current Sponsors.
