Nancy Koep-Koubsky – Koep’s Bait & Tackle owner
A PONTOON FULL OF KIDS, SWINGING RODS AND HOOKS….. SOUNDS
HECTIC?... TRY GRATIFYING…. THAT’S HOW NANCY KOEP SEES IT…
9:10:38;19 the expression and the smiles when they catch fish, um, going to
basketball games with my son and there's kids running up to me saying ms. nancy,
ms. nancy i caught a fish last night or last week i caught a fish and they tell me their
great fish stories and it's very enlightening.
A SUCCESSFUL TOURNAMENT ANGLER, NANCY LOVES TAKING THE TIME TO
GET KIDS FISHING, BUT SHE’S GOT A SOFT SPOT…
9:04:12;21 i do, i enjoy getting girls involved and i enjoy making them feel like it's
not a man's sport, it can be a girls sport.
(shots of girls fishing, catching fish, getting interviewed)
NOW, THIS PASSION FOR HAVING KIDS GROW UP FISHING MUST COME FROM
SOMEWHERE…
WELL, THE KOEP NAME RUNS DEEP IN THE NORTH COUNTRY…
9:00:01;29 well, my family started Urbank bait company, which would've been my
grandpa, i believe it's been in the family now for 68 years.
(old pics of bait shop, slow zoom in to B&W pic, family)
9:07:55;07 my parents had a resort growing up, it was called spencer lake resort,
and that's what i grew up on as a kid.
(pics of resort)
FISHING POLE IN HAND, NANCY WOULD HIT THE WATER AFTER HER CHORES
9:08:27…and that's when i probably knew that fishing was going to be apart of a big
passion for me in life.

MINNEWASKA…, WHERE THE DREAM CONTINUES TODAY,
(shots of her bait shop)
9:00:55;24 i love the people. i love seeing the people come in, telling me their fish
stories, i love selling them tackle, showing them what the hottest lure is on the lake,
giving them minnows, i just love the people, i love being around the people
….TRANSITION FROM HISTORY TO FISHING….
(NATS OF LAKE/WAVES/TIGHT ROCKS?)
ONE THING SHE MAY LOVE MORE, A DAY ON THE OPEN WATER WITH HER SON

9:37:49;04 AVERY INTERVIEW
9:38:12;02 i like fishing because i like reeling it in and seeing what the fish looks like
and how big it is, and yeah, that's what i like about fishing
9:38:37;03 BIG SMILE FOR THE CAMERA
9:10:10;21 …there needs to be more out there for the kids and there needs to be
more people that are going to do fishing clinics and teach the kids
9:35:39;15 CARTER HOLDS SUNNY RIGHT UP TO CAMERA
9:06:28;2 whether it's my lets go fishing program i do with the kids, my minocqua
program i do with the kids, or my tuesday night league i do with the youth, it's
always, a lot of the kids that do those programs dont get that option to fish very
much with their parents or maybe it's their parents that don't fish, so for me to be
able to take out kids that would normally be sitting at home playing video games...
9:10:53;15 …and i know that im not only doing something that's good, not only for
myself, for the community, but also for the sport of fishing
9:40:27;04 GREAT SHOT. GIRL HOLDS UP FISH, FISH SHAKES AND SPLASHES
WATER, GIRL SMILES FOR CAMERA;

9:06:55 For me to be able to have that opportunity and take those kids out and show
them that there is more to life than that and that fishing can be part of something
great for them.
SOMETHING GREAT FOR THEM…. JUST AS IT’S BEEN FOR SO MANY OF US….
