Mike is an award winning and veteran TV news director and anchor, radio program director and morning drive DJ, play-by-play announcer and published author, whose love for fishing grew on his parent's resort on Bird Lake in Oneida County, WI. He's the former president of Fishing Hot Spots, the nation's largest publisher of fishing maps and digital fishing information. He's now general manager of Guide's Choice Pro Shop, one of the largest muskie retailers. He's also the voice for Joe Bucher's outdoor programs.

This is fishing for the common, everyday angler. Not so much how to fish, but how to get ready to fish. This unique approach is ground level, entertaining enough for the experienced, yet basic enough for the novice. Will he be on the water? You bet! With tips and techniques proven time and again. His conversational approach is used in seminars for many sports shows and sporting goods stores across the country.
