Join us at the Homesteady Campfire: a compilation of stories in the outdoors.
In this new kind of episode, Campfire, the crew of Homesteady, Austin, Mike, and the rest, take you on their annual trip to Rhode Island.
On this annual trip, they wake each day long before sunrise, and head out into the salt ponds to try to catch keeper sized stripped bass or fluke.

Listen as they tell this tale, and at the same time, teach you how to come up to the campfire and share your own story, whether it has a happy ending or not...
