Mid Summer Walleye with Joe Okada

The month of July is typically known for always giving us our first real taste of what summer feels like. Temperatures staying in the high 90's and for some above 100 degrees this time of year defines the "dog days" of summer. For some anglers it can be some of the toughest bites to find, but it doesn't have to be. Here on this episode, Joe Okada, professional walleye angler comes on to help us through the heat of the summer and drops a ton of useful knowledge we can all put to use during these long summer days.

Joe is one of the most down to earth dude's that I have met in this industry and I cannot say enough great things about the guy. He is a staple and one of the biggest names in the professional walleye angling world today. Joe takes the time to join me on the podcast to talk about his humble beginnings as a young angler, the influence of his father, what it takes to be a professional walleye angler and some great summertime tactics for putting more walleye in your boat during these hot summer months.

When Joe is not fishing tournaments he can be found guiding on his local bodies of water in Wisconsin, conducting interviews, appearances and other events to continue to be a key ambassador to the sport of fishing. You can follow Joe over on his website at www.joeokada.com or on Twitter @joeokada. I want to thank Joe again for taking the time to hang with me on the podcast and it is one conversation I hope to continue in the future.

This is one podcast you'll want to listen to as you crank up your AC wherever you are and sit back to enjoy. Cheers!
