Questions for Ethan

Ethan is having a hard time picking a writing topic. Please post any questions here about things you are wondering. He spends most of his days on a kayak searching for turtles, fishing, playing basketball or swimming. He would love to answer your questions!

  1. Hi Ethan,
    I need some information about buying and using a kayak. We are thinking of buying two and want to go down the creek to see all the wildlife. What do you think? Would I be able to keep from falling in? What advice do you have for me? Have you tried fishing from the kayak?

    THANKS for being the expert! I hope your summer is going well....

  2. Hi Mrs. Berg,
    So you don't fall in, try to sit straight up. When you paddle you have to go right to left. Then when you want to turn you have to put the paddle down behind you and push it towards the front and that is the way you will turn. I don't know anything about buying a kayak. I think they are all the same. And yes I have fished from one. I caught a 3 1/2 pound bass, sunfish, perch.

  3. Hi Ethan,
    It sounds like we will be heading up toward you in July. What kinds of fish have been biting? What is the best kind of bait to use? I was hoping to go fishing yesterday for my birthday, but it was pouring here. Thanks for your help!
    From,
    Mrs. Isaacs

  4. Question: have you ever eaten turtle? How would you prepare a good sized snapper? Many decades ago, they had turtle cookout events in many small Minnesota towns. It was an affordable way to feed lotsa folks and connect with your neighbors---how do the people in your community connect now a days?

  5. 'Nother one. Why are Loons' eyes red? What benefit (if any) is there?

  6. Finally: what are some common edible plants found in Minnesota? What do they look like? Taste like? Medicinal?

  7. Hi Ethan,
    Sounds like you are having a nice time at the lake. What a fun way to spend the summer! The kayak explorations sound awesome. I am wondering what type of turtles are in your lake? Do you have snappers? Also, I am curious about how many eggs a turtle lays at a time. Keep having fun! Tell your mom, dad, and Lucie hello from me.
    Take care,
    Mrs. Lee

  8. Hi Ethan,

    What does your name mean? How is your name translated to at least five other languages? Finally; if you could change your (first) name, what would you go with and why?
