The Krusty Kast EP: 54 Do Spawning Walleye Bite? and The Grass Carp Invasion W/ Robert Mapes

Welcome back to another episode of The Krusty Kast!

We are doing something way different this episode! We actually have someone on here that has a degree in the outdoors hahaha.

We are joined by Robert Mapes a researcher at The Lake Erie Center that is the leader of the Grass Carp Strike Team!

Robert sat down with us to talk about his involvement in the fight against invasive grass carp. Grass Carp have been around this are for a long time, but have always been sterilized before being sold. That was until a fisherman caught three small grass carp that after test were done were found to have been new fish that were spawned naturally. Robert talks with us all about the progress that has been made and how they have pinpointed them to stop the spread before it is too late!


And for all my Walleye guys out there... We have an answer to the biggest argument of "The Walleye Run"....Kinda. Do they bite? or are we flossing. Stick around towards the second half to hear what Robert has to say about it!

Thanks for tuning in and see you all next week!

The Krusty Kast EP: 53 To Use Decoys or Not for Turkeys! W/ Brad Klosinski

The Krusty Kast EP: 53 To Use Decoys or Not for Turkeys! W/ Brad Klosinski

Welcome back to another episode of The Krusty Kast!

Have a good episode for you guys today, and a long one!

Brad has now been on more than enough podcasts to have a familiar name no doubt, but he has talked a lot about waterfowl. Brad's true passion is chasing them long beards all around the Country!

I am a very very new turkey hunter and need to get some legs under me so I figured I would bring Brad on to put a few more wrinkles in my brain.

Brad takes us through multiple topics on turkeys and even blows some turkeys calls for us! And don't laugh when you hear me try to blow my call hahaha.

Stick around to the end to hear a reason Brad hates decoys. I will honestly say I thought it was a fair chase mindset... which is part of it, but Brad really showed me the potential impact of using decoys to turkey hunt.

Thanks for tuning in and we will see you all next week!

Hey Welcome back everyone!

I have a little bit different episode for you all this week, I'M SOLO!

Hunting season is kicking off for both early season goose and teal, as well as deer season is right around the corner. We are all busy getting gear prepped and making final adjustments to make sure we have a successful season for both 4 legged animals and winged animals!

The boys were able to have a good hunt, but not a perfect hunt and I will get into some of the issues we had and how we switched things up to still be successful!

Krusty Kast EP: 27 Father and Son Share Some Hunting Stories

This episode we are joined by Brian Hall and his kid (Gage).  They have been in and around the outdoors for basically their whole lives!  

On this episode we are able to talk about almost anything related to the outdoors... from growing up on a farm, to chasing a turkey through the woods, to catching bass all day!  These two are full of stories and experiences!

Kenny and I try and not only hear what exactly these two do in the woods, but also give us a chance to pick their brains to see why they do what they do in the woods.  Kenny and I being younger than Brian we share different views on a few topics and strategy when in the woods.

Having gage on the podcast is also a big swing in generation! Gage is younger than Kenny and I by a long shot.  We were all kids once, and Gage helps us remember the exact thoughts we had when dad would drag us out of our warm bed to go freeze in a tree hahaha. 

I hope you all enjoyed this episode, I know we enjoyed recording it!

See you all on the next one!

Malachi hasn't been on the show in a long minute!  Kenny and I get to talk it up about everything outdoors with him.  From a few of his fishing trips, to his new hunting journeys.  

This is a serious jack of all trades episode.  If you enjoy late fall fishing Kenny and Malachi had a fun trip to the Detroit River. If you enjoy waterfowl well im sure you will enjoy hearing us talk Malachi into going. If you enjoy big game hunting the rut is just beginning and the boys are ready for it!

Krusty Kast EP 21: Mallards Down! Early Waterfowl is HOT

On this Episode of the Krusty Kast the boys have been hitting the season hard!  As we take a trip up north on the first official on the road podcast we chat it up about the season. 

Ohio has produced some birds for us so far as Kenny and I have been able to hit the Marsh zone opener and North zone opener in Ohio.  Two weeks produced two firsts for me.  I was able to get my first Wood Duck and first mallard!

Had a semi slow opening day in the marsh however the day was not wasted.  The next week Kenny and I were able to have a super productive day in the North zone slaying mallards.  After all that excitement we had a trip planned up north into Michigan for a guided trip with Great Lakes Guided Outdoors (GLGO).  Before the guided trip the group was able to hit a hidden hole full of Michigan Wood Ducks.  Had a great trip up north!

Thanks for tuning in to this episode of the Krusty Kast!
