    Some really awesome episodes on eastern Ontario fisheries (eg non NW Ontario). Have to sort through some ads and some episodes get hijacked by UFC and bitcoin banter.

  • Ok guests that’s about it

    Guests are the most interesting but that’s about it, the distance formats are a pain because they are constantly talking over them and not always listening to them. Also the new formats they take any chance to plug there merchandise really annoying. I think the show has run its course

  • Musky

    Sounds like good guys but they must record from different locations. Awkward lengths of silence combined with everyone talking over each other. Hard to listen at times.
