Mike Jackson Outdoors has been called "the best outdoors show in the country."
Mike not only tells his listeners what lakes and rivers in Illinois and the Midwest are hot, he “breathes fire” when it comes to politicians, especially when it relates to the pols ignoring the great outdoor resources bestowed upon us.
“Mike Jackson Outdoors” airs Sunday mornings from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. Central. Also catch the Facebook Live feed from WCGO’s Facebook page. Find episodes below.
ABOUT THE HOST
Mike Jackson, an honored member of the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, is celebrating more than 50 years as an outdoors journalist and broadcaster. In addition to being a seasoned broadcaster, Jackson is a writer for one of Chicagoland's daily newspapers, The Daily Herald. He is a tell-it-like-it-is sportsman, humorist, and humanitarian with legions of fans and listeners. He talks fishing, hunting, the outdoors, chat with special guests and fishing friends, take calls, and sometimes talk politics.
Jackson grew up fishing the Fox Chain, Lake Michigan, and dozens of lakes and rivers throughout the state, as well as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Canada, the Arctic, Central and South America, and a lot of Illinois destinations in between.
