Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wait, People Eat That? & What to Do When Shad Are Getting Blown Up | 6-11-26
Q: Would you rather never know what the tide is going to do or never know what the wind is going to do for the rest of your life when you go fishing?
They leaned toward knowing the wind is unpredictable but more critical for planning daily setups, explaining that wind largely dictates water movement and how they position themselves, while tide can be managed but wind dictates the day's water conditions.
