Fishing experience

Jackson’s primary fishing targets have been largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass in his home waters around Blythe, California. However, it turns out there is a little bit of saltwater in California as well. Having been bit by the saltwater bug, Jackson has started dipping his tackle in the blue water as well. In this episode we talk about how he has plied his bass gear to entice some nice saltwater catches. Plus an awesome trip for some Catalina Island fishing.
