Curious about the water quality over the years in his region
Listened to the pod cast. Awesome interview. Great to hear about bucktails and flounder from the Mr. Miyagi of bucktailing. Any chances of a Salt Strong bucktail lure??? Even better if it was a weedless bucktail – don’t see those everywhere. Either way, loved the information!
