We're talking with a 25 year tournament veteran and winner of the most recent Michigan Walleye Tour event...Wayne Van Dyke on this edition of the Off Shore Tackle Podcast.

Wayne talks about how he captured the win on Saginaw Bay during a one day event, cut short by the weather.

He says his coaching background is helpful on the tournament trail and helps satisfy his need for competition.

The long time Off Shore Pro Staffer describes targeting walleye in 35 feet of water using snap weights to get his baits down to the fish. He also has great advice on using forward facing sonar while trolling, fishing in clear water...and planer board management techniques.

A great conversation this month on the Off Shore Tackle podcast with the man who's name is synonymous with trolling...Mark Romanack of Precision Trolling and Fishing 411 TV.

Mark talks about his early days with the DeShano family and long time partnership with Off Shore.

Romanack describes his role in the company's product development, including the popular OR 12 inline planer board.

The conversation then turns to the finer points of trolling including lead length, speed and crankbait tuning.

The popular professional angler also talks about the Fishing 411 TV show and twenty seasons of programming.

The ice is gone and we're ready to hit the water this time on the Off Shore Tackle Podcast!

He describes how warm water can be the key in finding fish this time of year, and how to target them in shallow water.
