It's part two of our conversation with the "Chairman of the Boards", Bruce Deshano on this edition of the Off Shore Tackle podcast.

We're headed to southern Lake Michigan and the port of St. Joe this time on the Off Shore Tackle podcast.

Captain Mike Boyd of Coldwater Charters talks about early season trolling for salmon and trout, including the difference between copper and lead core line. Mike also explains his set up, including the use of Off Shore OR 12 planers and the bigger SST Pro Mag boards (that he calls a "school bus").

He describes the process of getting a new charter boat ready for the water, why the St. Joe fishery is unique, fishing dirty water...and much more.

The conversation wraps up with Mike talking about his career as an outdoor writer and also a hunting guide.

We're catfishing this time on the Off Shore Tackle podcast with Alex Nagy of Twisted Cat Outdoors.

Alex talks about how he got into catfishing and why that passion led to a tournament circuit.

He also describes the growth in popularity of catfish and how the perception of those fish is changing.

The angler/tournament director then explains popular techniques for catching giant catfish and describes the experience of weighing in a fish of more than a hundred pounds on the tournament stage.
