It's been a long winter for Polar Kraft Pro Staffer Nicole Stone and she's ready to hit the open water.

In this edition of the podcast Nicole talks about her childhood fishing adventures, previous career as a meteorologist and how she uses social media to reach anglers today.

She also promotes her upcoming series of panfish videos and talks about the difference between southern crappie anglers and those in the north country.

Nicole also describes a recent early season trip to the Rainy River and how  dragging jigs ended up being the best presentation for big walleye.
