  • Pretty much the perfect fishing Poddy

    Satisfying blend of fishy banter, tales of glory and despair, biology and bizarrely- international rally driving - is anchored by Guru level technical fishing content, inshore , offshore game, top water , surf , estuary, or impoundment - it’s all covered . Highly recommend. 100% pure fishing 😂
