Mike Frisch aims to enhance forward-facing sonar skills in 2026 to locate eater-size and larger walleyes at favored Minnesota and South Dakota fishing destinations.

  • For the coming year, Mike Frisch, co-host of the Fishing the Midwest TV series, plans walleye trips focused on forward-facing sonar skills at Big Stone Lake and Alexandria, MN region.
  • After two seasons using FFS, Mike Frisch aims to improve skills, supported by guide demonstrations from Marcus Quam and Tanner Arndt, who had success with the technology.

  • Continuing to refine forward-facing sonar, Mike Frisch plans to integrate it more into Fishing the Midwest TV series and use Big Stone Lake's no closed season as an early filming base.
