Description
There are so many ways to approach your time on the water, and how to obtain that pure feeling of freedom we get when we are on and around the saltwater. I hope to expand everyone’s approach through this podcast by offering an avenue in which you can learn from not only my experiences and stories but also hear from others who have the same passion and love for sportfishing in every respect. I personally love to teach and love to learn, so my goal through this podcast is to do both!
I am looking forward to guiding this podcast in a direction to shed light on all things fishing and also all of the peripheral things involved with fishing such as boatbuilding, boating upgrades, tackle, fishing reports, fishing travel, and more. I hope through this podcast that I can help make your lives easier by sharing something helpful with you from my experiences as well as my guests’ experiences and knowledge as well.
