In following suit of others, I am offering a Full Day (8-10 hour) trip on Mille Lacs Lake in support of the Brandon Rolen Foundation. All proceeds from the auction of this trip will go directly to the Foundation. I first met Sampson (Brandon’s Father) last Fall during the filming of the IDO Video released last December. I spent a good 30 hours on the water with Sampson in just a few days. It did not take long to figure out that he had a very strong passion for his Camera/Filming and even a greater one for his family. I later met Sampson’s wife and family during the editing process. What a tremendous family and once I heard about the Brandon Rolen foundation I knew I had to do something to help. Well here it is, a chance for the winner of this auction to help out a great cause.
The trip will take place on Mille Lacs. We will focus on pulling cranks. This trip is good for 1-3 people, to enjoy a great time on the water for an even better cause. Here is the fun part. The winner of this auction will get to choose one of the following two trips:
TRIP 1: Pulling cranks on planer boards. Dates are negotiable, but the best bite has been typically from June 15th to Mid July. I can do a weekend day or week days are possible. I would like to target the end of June for this trip. Times of this trip are typically 8 am to 5 pm, but can be flexible. Typically this bite does not produce a number of eater fish, but it does produce big walleyes like pictured above. Click on the links below to see past planer board trips.
TRIP 2: Pulling cranks in the Fall around the infamous September or October Full Moons. Dates are negotiable, but the best bite has been typically a few days either side of the Full Moon. This year both Septembers and Octobers full moon occurs on the 26th of the Month. I can do most weekend nights or any week nights. This trip is usually from sundown until the late evening/early morning. Typically this bite produces fish of all sizes, with usually a few limits to take home along with an opportunity at some awful large fish (Northern and Walleyes). Click on the links below to see past Fall cranking trips.
All that is required of the winner of this trip to bring is, a cooler of favorite beverages & snacks, a MN fishing license, Camera, Rain gear or warm clothes/sun screen if needed, and a fun attitude and willingness to catch fish.
This auction will end at 7pm on Monday March 5th. Please place your bid by replying to this post below.
I’m really looking forward to this trip and helping out a little boy in need!
