Walleye Dan Excited for Opener

Walleye Dan Eiger says he's going to be "Anchored-up" on Gull Lake right after midnight tonight fishing with lighted bobbers, as he marks the opening of the Minnesota fishing season.

Eiger says minnows are the usual offering early in the season. He tells KLKS News, they should work well. But, he also says the water should be warm enough for leeches too.

Eiger may be especially lucky Saturday morning. Two of his three children will mark their birthdays tomorrow, and they will be in the boat with him.

Eiger runs a fishing guide service out of Lake Shore.
