We're talking with Pro Staffer Craig Sleeman this time on the Off Shore Podcast. Craig tells the story of how he made the NWT Championship on Lake Huron and what that experience was like.

Sleeman describes how he made it to the top ten and eventually finished fourth in the tourney.

The New York native says Lake Huron offered some challenges including wind, waves and crystal clear water.

Craig talks about his strategy for fishing new water and why electronics play a big role in that process.

He then talks about his partnership with Off Shore and why that national walleye championship was a "dream come true".

Lake Ontario is the destination this time on the Off Shore Tackle Podcast as we talk with Rick Hajecki of Crazy Yankee Sportfishing.

Rick talks about the Lake Ontario salmon and trout fishery.

He also describes the differences between tournament fishing and running charters, the importance of networking to find fish and why social media has become a big part of his business.

The lifelong angler then talks about his relationship with Off Shore and why good partnerships are critical to success.

Hajecki also looks ahead to some good fall walleye fishing and outstanding wintertime brown trout trolling action.

We're headed north this month on the Off Shore Tackle podcast to talk with angler and wildlife artist Erich Carlson.

Erich's home water is northern Lake Huron and the Alpena Michigan area but during this converstion we find him trolling for walleye on Green Bay in Wisconsin.

Erich describes the challenge of fishing clear water, how to target deep fish, planer board set up and much more.

He also talks about his wildlife art and the process of getting his Charter Captain's license.
