Catch more and larger fish where you fish. Catch fish closer to home and also fish better on vacation. Affordable tips for the regular guy (and girl) who doesn’t fish the competitive circuit. Bargain sonar tactics that regular people can afford and even the amazing $1.99 sonar! You don’t need to own a boat to rule the water!

You Can Catch Without Owning A Boat

Johnny will show you how with a rental boat and simple lightweight tackle, you can change your luck.  You don’t need expensive gear or expensive electronics to succeed in catching more fish. Expect a night of fun, a crisp presentation with some killer rigs, tactics and baits that fish can’t resist. You might learn, you might laugh – you definitely will see content you can’t find on YouTube and have a chance to fish better.

Johnny trained under the guidance of teacher Mick Thill and looks to advance float fishing. He learned skills while fishing for Team USA in three World Championships in Portugal, Belgium & Italy as well as fishing competitions with Mick in the US, Canada and even China.
