This month we're talking with man behind Off Shore tackle… Bruce DeShano. Bruce started the company 37 years ago with one downrigger release. These days, Off Shore has grown into the undisputed leader in trolling technology. In this discussion, Bruce describes how he got the title "Chairman of the Boards". He also tells host Mike Avery why trolling is such an effective way to catch fish…and hints at a new product Off Shore will soon be bringing to the market.

We kick off this edition of the Off Shore Tackle podcast talking with Nick Deshano. Nick is the guy in charge at Off Shore these days and he has some interesting thoughts on how the company brings new products to the market. Nick also has an update on the new OR 38 Awesome Crappie boards. Then, Lake Michigan salmon charter captain Dave James of Fish Hunter Charters joins host Mike Avery. Dave fishes out of the northwest Michigan port of Frankfort. James says the salmon fishing is just starting to pick up there and they're seeing some big kings.
