Sorry about being a week and a day late. This week we start off talking about some drama in the podcast world. We then follow that by talking about 2 consecutive weekends camping with kids and some of the troubles we ran in to. Thanks, so some of the tips we received we had a pretty easy go of setting up camp and making it comfortable.

We break down day by day our trip to Eagle River Wisconsin. We discuss walleye, smallmouth, tubing, swimming, pontoon boating, and so much more. We stayed at Chanticleer Inn and highly recommend it to anybody, especially if you're on a budget. We discuss how it went with kids and also go over other tips we received about camping with kids.

This week we are talking about getting our family camping. We are looking for feedback and any tips you have, especially for camping with little kids. In the news this week we have a grant trying to help hunters in Wisconsin, 53% of fire in Minnesota is contained, storms in Wisconsin, Indiana is behind according to Army Corps of Engineers, and deadly boating crash on Fox Chain in Illinois. Any comments or questions email us at themidwestfrontier@gmail.com and thanks for listening!!!

Kelsey joins this week to clarify some terms we often use for some people who may not understand what it is. In the news this week we have a parasite in Michigan, more protections at Warren Dunes State Park, no fires in Minnesota, dying Asian carp in Illinois, and a wolf bothering people at Isle Royale. Any comments or questions email us at themidwestfrontier@gmail.com and thanks for listening!!!

This week our main conversation is death of small towns all over the Midwest. Why do small towns die? Is it dead industry, internet competition, loss of healthcare? We cover several different reasons why rural America is going down. Other topics include a new canoe, walleye fishing, crazy Illinois weather, house buying, and more. Bills selling his kayak which is a 2013 Old Town Predator and a Malone kayak trailer. If youre interested in that or want to send feed back email us at themidwestfrontier@gmail.com and thanks for listening!

I love having Eric Nygaard on with Musky Miracles guide service. We discussed a lot on this episode such as; the early musky opener, livescope debate, low stocking numbers with solutions, and much more. I have all of Erics contact info below. If you vacationing in Northern Wisconsin this year, it is a great idea to hire him to show you around and help flatten your learning curve for musky. He spends several days on the water per week and easily identifies the changes happening throughout the season. If electronics is something you want to learn he would be glad to spend time showing you how to use them and you'll have a shortcut in your own boat.

This week we recorded a day by day of the white bass run in Fremont Wisconsin. Day one Busch Lite Billy had a few too many pops but still productive. Day 2 was also a productive day with starting to figure out how to use livescope and catching fish. Day 3 was the trip home. This was our fifth year going and this became one of our favorite trips. It's crazy watching Fremont Wisconsin quaduple in population during mothers day weekend with almost everyone chasing the same fish.
