"The fishing in Lake Erie is absolutely wonderful for everything, but especially walleye," Buck explained. "They are a lot of fun to catch and they're great to eat."

Buck wants fishers -- from amateurs to experts -- to get more out of living in the "capital" so he and Mitch Leppelmeier, a coworker at Gander Mountain, are heading a seminar on walleye fishing this 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the .

"We want everyone's experiences while hunting or fishing to be the best possible. We don't want people going out there and saying they couldn't find any fish," he said.

"There are fish everywhere if you know how to look and how to get them."

During their talk, Buck and Leppelmeier will discuss ideal lures, trolling technique, the best rods to use, how deep to lay the line, where to look for walleye in Lake Erie and so much more.

Buck promised that even seasoned Lake Erie fishermen could get something out of the talk.
