Two Angles on Angling
by Ryan Shea and Jordan DiVirgilio
Observations from the water - conversations about fishing (and life). Avid angler or not, we think it'll be interesting to hear what's swimming around in our heads - it isn't just fishing. Hosted by Ryan Shea, a charter captain/fishing guide and Jordan DiVirgilio, a tackle designer/manufacturer and tournament angler - 2 points of view collide in numerous debates and discussions. It's a little insight into the angling community...and an effort to open lines of communication between tribes.
