Got a phone call from Mike Jackson asking if I would come on his Mike Jackson Outdoors radio show this coming Sunday, March 27th at 6:30 AM.
Rather than put up all the nitty gritty details about how to tune into his show, better to go to his website for that:
Mike Jackson Outdoors Radio Show
I’ve had the opportunity to be on his show a few times in the past and I never pass it up.
Like usual, I had to ask, “What will we be talking about?”
As usual I get, “Just follow my lead.”
From anyone else, I’d be concerned, but Mike was recently inducted into the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisconsin as a Legendary Communicator, and that he is.
If anyone is up that day, listen in. But be forewarned, I know we’ll be talking about the Fox River more than likely. After that, you know about as much as I do.
From the bio about Mike for his induction into the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame:
