Thank you for having TAWF in the podcast. We appreciate the support. Yet another reason the 2 Bald Biologists are the best!
Recently, Seth Mycko and Casey Joubert were guest speakers at our Salt Water Fishing club in Greensboro. They gave a great presentation on the local fisheries here in the Piedmont area. During the presentation your podcast, Better Fishing with Two Bald Biologist, was mentioned. It was the first I had heard of it. I’ve downloaded your shows to my phone and listen while traveling. Your podcasts are truly informative. Thank you so much. Ron Washburn
