Outdoor Journal Radio: The Podcast

You don't need a boat to make great fishing memories, and you might be driving past water worth fishing. This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete head back to the bank to talk overlooked shore-fishing spots, finding access to the water, and the childhood fishing trips that started it all. From Brook Trout creeks to bass along the shoreline and big walleye off docks, the crew explores why fishing with your feet on solid ground deserves another look.

With a very questionable internet connection and the jungle surrounding them, Bruno and Thiago take us along ...
