  • Love the show!

    This is a fun show to listen to while I’m working or at home.

    One thing I’d love to hear more is content geared toward warm water fishing. Bass, panfish, striper, gar, and more. I love far off destinations, but there’s also an immense amount of fishing destinations closer to me to be more relatable.

    Keep it up!

    I’ve been a fishing guide in the Adirondacks for over 20 years and more recently a registered Maine Fishing Guide. Destination angler is the first podcast I go to when in the mood to listen about fishing. Great shows. Keep up the good work.
