Another feller from Mass here to talk about how good their fishing is while I cry behind the microphone for over an hour. In all seriousness I absolutely love talking with New England guys and after every conversation is makes me want to visit more and more, this talk with Jon is no different. We seem to have shard a lot of similar stories and experiences which was super funny to me. Please make sure to follow Jon if you don't already, dude is a low-key hammer.

Long long time friend of the show joins us for this episode and we talk about a lot. Mostly about what the swimbait world was like when we got into swimbaits and just how much has changed since then. We get to hear stories from Colin about fishing around the Great Smokey Mountains and we compare his river systems to mine here in southern middle Michigan. A fun episode of 2 friends just talking and reminiscing about the days past.

Hailing all the way from the PNW and bringing his Gill wake and cranks along with Perch glide, Austin joins me for this episode. We talk his introduction to swimbaits and now recently bait making. Growing up in Cali Austin had seen big soft swimbaits which later went full circle for him after getting out of the Marine Corps in 2015.

Carl is a guy I use to watch a lot in my mid teens and when I was trying to learn everything I could about swimbait fishing. I was super excited he agreed to talk with me because I had a whole list of questions I wanted to ask. I think we could have talked for 3 hours if we had the time. We cover his introduction to swimbaits and videoing for Youtube. We even touch on a little philosophical and forward facing sonar. All in all a jammed packed episode with a guy who knows so much about our sport.

We've talked with kayak guys, and paddle board guys. But Jake is definitely our first Float tube guy, and man did I have alto of questions for him. I would be lying if I didn't really look into tubes before I bought my paddle board basely off Jake's page.
