You’re out with some
friends, or maybe a kid
who hasn’t fished much.
An entertaining day with
a cooler full of fish is
the fastest way to hook
someone else into this
great sport. When you
get to the point in the day
where everyone on the
boat is looking at each
other and asking whose
turn it is, you know you’re in
the middle of an awesome
fishing adventure. In this
fishing reality, we’ve built
for ourselves, everyone gets
a chance to participate,
and everyone gets to
enjoy a tasty dinner (if
keeping your catch is
your thing). The banter
picks up. The camaraderie
builds. Everyone is in great
spirits and appreciates the
constant action. There isn’t
that sense of if we catch
something but instead,
when are we going to catch
the next one? You pass by
some other boats in the
water and exchange the
usual conversation.
What are you using, how
has the bite been, that kind
of stuff. Instead of the meh
response of just doing OK
with a few bites here and
there you proudly share
that the bite has been
insane and you’re getting
hit on every rod at every
HELP STOP the SPREAD

“hitchhikers” from their equipment, boots,
nets, clothing, and other gear used in the
water while fishing.
