Welcome to Butch Furtman’s Sportsman’s Journal
Welcome to my new website! This site has been in the works for some time now, and finally it’s here. Designed to be an extension of my Sportsman’s Journal television show, this website will be the go-to place for the latest news about what’s going on with the show. In addition, you can learn about my equipment offered by my sponsors, where my favorite destinations to film the show are located, and some inside tips that I might not get a chance to mention on the air. I’ll even have a selection of classic and recent show videos for you to watch right here on-line. And don’t forget to let me know what you think of the show and this website by leaving feedback. I’m always interested to hear what my viewers think and want to see in the future.
Plan your fishing vacations for next summer soon!
I've put together a list of some of my favorite places for you to explore, so be sure to check each one out. Don't forget to tell 'em Butch sent ya.
Ice Fishing Today
This past winter my sponsor, Vexilar, asked me to join them for a day of filming their new TV show "Ice Fishing Today". We were on Mille Lacs catching some of this lake's famous jumbo perch. You can watch the show on-line here. Don't forget to check the Web Extra section, where I did a short segment on the History of Ice Augers.
A New Sportsman's Journal Season
It's once again time for another great season of the Sportsman's Journal. We start this year on Lake of the Woods ice fishing for some of the walleye and sauger that this lake is known for. Be sure to tune in each week for a new fishing adventure on FSN or WDIO in the Duluth/Superior area.
Campfire Gourmet Batter
I know a lot of you have been asking "Where can I get that great Campfire batter?" Well I've been working on some changes, so please be patient. The changes are mainly packaging based, so rest assured that this popular batter mix will have that same great taste and effectiveness you all have come to love. When everything is ready, you'll be able to find ordering instructions here.
