An interesting conversation with tournament angler and Lake Erie charter captain Randy Gaines on this edition of the Off Shore Tackle Podcast.

Randy talks about the similarities between tournaments and chartering....and how both have made him a better angler.

Then the conversation turns to the importance of tuning crankbaits and how the Off Shore EZ Crankbait Tuner is the perfect tool for fine tuning even the most finicky baits.

Gaines also describes the transition from mono to braided line for trolling and why he believes the new Off Shore OR39 Sam's Release is a great tool for that technique.

Finally, the veteran describes how he follows the Lake Erie walleye migration from port to port and the mental aspect of walleye fishing.
