Fishing Loons – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode the guys swap recent fishing stories, break down where tungsten comes from and why it's worth using, and unpack a bizarre kayak cheating scandal. Ontario Fishing Guide Brad DeCoste joins them to talk drop-shot tactics, adapting when the bite dies, fishing in heavy pressure, and using sonar effectively. They hit common angler mistakes, weather strategies, and why time on the water—and listener feedback—keeps the whole thing worth it.
