Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 39 ratings
  • Great guests but audio needs equalized

    Ads will blow your ears out then the talk show will often be so quiet I can barely hear it. Otherwise good guests, host tends to dominate some episodes but I think he’s just amped up to share with guests.

  • Great podcast

    Great podcast and love the guests so far, but I hear way too much heavy breathing and swallowing and stuff from host. Makes it hard to listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fishing Educator Capt. Lance Valentine
Q: How far do you go?
Valentine says he turns around after a few minutes without bites or signs of fish, and uses catch waypoints to determine whether fish have moved along the river rather than returning to an unproductive spot.
Fishing Educator Capt. Lance Valentine
Q: Do you think some of that's boat pressure, driving some of these movements?
Valentine says he is not convinced boat pressure drives walleye movement or shuts down active fish. He believes feeding windows close naturally, although heavy boat traffic can affect fishing when boats plow through an area.
Kansas Angling Experience With Brian Ondrejka
Q: What do you think is, what's the future looking like? What do you think is going on in the fishing industry?
Ondrejka says fishing technology and forward-facing sonar will continue to shape the sport, drawing more people into fishing while also contributing to social media conflict. He sees younger anglers adapting to the technology as a normal part of the industry's progression.
Kansas Angling Experience With Brian Ondrejka
Q: What's Brian doing when he's, well, I know what you're doing when you're not guiding your fishing, because that's what us fishing guides do. Tell everybody a little bit about yourself. How long you've been guiding.
Ondrejka says he started guiding in 2015 and went full time in 2019 after working in IT. He grew up in Wisconsin, moved to Kansas as a child, and became interested in guiding after getting his own boat and learning the reservoirs.
NWT 2026 AOY Beau Schilling
Q: Beau, congratulations. What an amazing season, amazing year. How are you feeling?
Beau says he feels relaxed, blessed, and surprised by how surreal the season has been, with the weight of the year finally lifting as he reflects on the journey.
