Welcome Muck Boots, Whitecap Splashguards, and Crane Lake Visitors Bureau

[Ray Esboldt]

Actually, a welcome back to Muck Boots Online who was a sponsor last year at FM. I know Dennis Steele can talk more in depth about their footwear as he is a fan. Those catfishing dudes apparently like to root around in the mud. I do not personally own any of their products (yet), but I have never a bad thing about their products.

Also, a big welcome to Whitecap Splashguards. Whitecap Splashguards, as you might guess, is a custom manufacturer of splashguards. They're less expensive than some of the other brands, but are every bit as equal in quality. If you're rolling a new boat into the garage this spring, you owe it yourself to give Whitecap a look.

Crane Lake Visitors Bureau also joins FM as a new sponsor. Their site offers a plethora of resources to plan your summer vacation to one of the most beautiful parts of North America.

As always, thanks to all of our sponsors. They are the ones that continue to make FishingMinesota.com a place where "We have more fun!"

I am a huge fan of The Muck Boots Company. I have a pair of their Woody Max Boot's that I'm going to put to the test this spring's turkey hunt!

Basically I was sold by the products ability to offer a comfort range of 40°F to -40°F. Plus the upper portion of the boot is neoprene and alround is 100% waterproof.

I also have a pair of their sandals

that are excellent for on the water/boat, or for use at home!

WELCOME BACK and would recommend them! For the cost of either product.....can't be beat

I got a pair of Muck Boots Field Masters last summer.

They're a very comfortable boot and when walking they don't slip around on your feet, plus they're light weight and waterproof. Last fall during grouse season I wore the Muck Boots every time out and left my hunting boots at home. When deer season came around I again wore the Muck Boots. When I saw these boots my first thought is they'd be perfect for first and last ice fishing.

They're rated down to -20 but thats with some type of psychical activity IMO. You wouldn't want to wear these on the ice if your sitting outside hunkered down over a hole in sub zero temps. No single boot can cover all your footwear needs year round but the Muck Boots will handle a good percentage of them.

Great Boots and a pleasure to slip on. I'm still using mine during the spring breakup and look forward to using them this Spring for turkey hunting.

I got a pair of Muck boots about three years ago. I really like them for early season (spring) fishing.Nice a warm and very helpful getting the canoe in and out of the water.

I have been using whitecaps on my boats since he started making them out of his garage. I had heard about them from a friend that grew up in Prior lake. The reason I bought my first set was the price. Only $140 back then I think!! I still use them because of the quality!!! In fact I just ordered a single side for my boat because I'm switching to a Vantage motor this year. I have to say the Biran is the man!!! I don't think I could have gone to my local marina and purchased only one side of a splash gaurd!!

Way to go Brian, and welcome aboard!!!

I have been getting a lot of use out of my Muck Boots this season. I picked up a pair of Muck Masters last season after hearing how comfortable they are. Originaly designed for the horseman crowd, they have been growing in popularity with the fishing and hunting crowds.

What I like best about my Muck Boots is that they do not get caked with mud. The tread design gives you excellent traction in slipery muddy conditions while prventing mud from sticking into the treads.

Fishing the Minnesota River, this is an important feature.

When launching my boat on the muddy ramps, I just drag my feet in the water and give a swish or two and they clean right off. No grabbing a stick to pick the mud from the tread.

This design also keeps the boots nice and light when fishing on the muddy banks from shore.

My Muckboots go everywhere with me and are one of the first things that gets packed for the cabin where wet is the rule. And along with the general thoughts about using them for boat loading, they are the greatest for this purpose.
