From Enterprise Staff

Polk County Hookers, the local fishing club, is hosting two more “Fishing with Michael” events in July. Through the event, anglers may spend $100 and be taken out on Lake Livingston for the day by Local Guide Michael Richardson and other Hookers. A popular event, the spots fill up quickly. Two were held in

June and Michael blocked out two more days in July. The new dates are July 13 and July 20.

“These trips are lots of fun and a great way to enjoy fishing the lake for white bass at a shared price. Michael provides the boat and the expertise, equipment if you need it, and cleans your fish. We will schedule 6 anglers per trip,” Head Hooker Mike Bischoff said. “To reserve a spot, just send me an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call me at 713-875-7976 with the date you would like to fish. The cost is $100 payable to Michael the day of the trip.”

Additionally, the City of Onalaska is looking for adult volunteers to assist kids – help manage rods, bait hooks, land fish, etc. – for the Kids Fishing Derby on July 4. Anyone interested can just show up the day of the event, state that you are a volunteer for the fishing derby and parking will be free.

“Let’s help the next generation of fishing enthusiasts develop a love for the sport of fishing,” Bischoff said.
