Join Brad & Jess as we chat with two of our long-time Brand Ambassadors, Rob Ouellette and Al Benoit.

Both Rob and Al reside in Sudbury Ontario, made their careers as corrections officers, and both own recreational property near Manitoulin Island where they do a lot of fishing for Salmon and Lake Trout. On this podcast, we talk about the local fisheries, fish allergies, trolling techniques, spoons and tournaments. We also dive into the important topic of fishing as a tool to improve mental health.

We have been getting a lot of questions about tariffs so we thought we would dedicate an episode to the topic of tariffs, manufacturing in Canada and a few personal thoughts on Canada/USA relations. For some added insight, we have invited our friend Dustin Rhodes (owner of Lucky Strike Bait Works) to be part of the discussion. This episode is a bit different than our usual content and format, but we hope you find the conversation interesting.
