Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 316 - FFS (Forward Facing Sonar) Catch Rate Study w/ Researcher Ryan Henry
Q: When you guys decided, all right, this is a study that we want to undertake, let's go, let's go out and capture the data. How did you go about collecting that data and why did you choose to do it the way that you did?
Historically for Lake Talquin, the angler survey would hire a temporary technician to go out and approach anglers by boat about how long they've fished, what they've caught, and things like that.
Ep. 316 - FFS (Forward Facing Sonar) Catch Rate Study w/ Researcher Ryan Henry
Q: Can you tell me just big picture the why of this study, like where this study came from and why you guys approached this the way you did and what you wanted to accomplish?
The main reason we kind of looked into this is that our law enforcement officers approached us and also some concerned anglers who claimed that the FFS anglers were catching and harvesting crappie at a higher rate on Lake Talquin.
Ep. 315 - Someone ATE a State Record, Fluoro vs Mono for Jerkbaits, New Berkley Baits, and More!
Q: What's your preferred line choice on jerk baits? Would you prefer to use mono or fluoro for most of your jerk baits?
Fluoro is favored for its sensitivity and lack of stretch, while mono can be useful in certain situations such as lower visibility or slower sink rates.
Ep. 314 - Bass Pro Shops Buys Hobie, Weirdest Catches, An Underrated Pond Lure, Adding Tech To Your Kayak, and More!
Q: What are some effective lures or techniques for fishing in shallow, weedy ponds?
Andrew suggests a weightless Texas rigged fluke for its versatility and effectiveness in weedy areas, while advising against using an Alabama rig under current Maine regulations.
Ep. 314 - Bass Pro Shops Buys Hobie, Weirdest Catches, An Underrated Pond Lure, Adding Tech To Your Kayak, and More!
Q: What do you think of Hobie after its purchase by Bass Pro Shops?
Andrew believes the acquisition could be a positive step for Hobie, helping resolve previous customer service issues, but expresses concern about potential pitfalls of larger corporations altering brand integrity.
