Sac-A-Lait Talk

Pull on your boots and grab your single-poles! In this episode, we are diving deep into the heart of Louisiana sacalait fishing with two guys who know exactly what it takes to stack a cooler.

First, we sit down with The Honey Hole Bandit himself, Preston Johnson. Preston takes us inside the wild waters of the Atchafalaya Basin, sharing his hard-earned secrets for navigating the swamps, breaking down his seasonal patterns, and explaining how he consistently tracks down giant basin slabs when other anglers come home empty-handed.

Then, we switch gears to talk tackle with Brad Black of L&B Custom Crappie Jigs. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a custom, hand-tied jig outfish mass-produced plastics, Brad breaks down the science behind his custom crappie jigs. From specific color configurations for muddy basin water to the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every tie, this segment is a masterclass in bait presentation.

Whether you are a seasoned slab hunter or looking to up your game in heavy swamp cover, this jam-packed episode delivers the local blueprint for crappie success.
