Today's podcast finds hosts Anderson and Gikas at the iconic Hunt Store (Hunt, Texas 78024) after a morning of stalking bass and panfish. Relaxing on the beer patio, they meet up with friends and Canadian competition fishermen Ernie Kalwa and Rick Wilson, and decide to record a podcast. Kawla and Wilson have just returned from a successful annual coastal fishing week, where they stalked Jack Cravelle, Spotted Redfish, and speckled Trout near Port O'Connor and shared their fishing tips. 

 This podcast has many tips for fly fishing on the Texas coast. Sidenote: The jack cravelle is a powerful, predatory fish. Extensive studies show the species consumes various small fish, including invertebrates such as prawns, shrimp, crabs, and molluscs.
