He talks about water temp, speed and color selection for trophy walleye.

Bergsma also unveils a new TV show focused on Great Lakes trolling.

He wraps up the conversation with the story of how he partnered with the DeShano family and why le's a loyal Off Shore angler.

We wrap up our three part conversation with the man who started Off Shore Tackle...Bruce DeShano.

"The Chairman of the Boards" talks about his companies move into new markets, including striper and catfish, why you probably won't see Off Shore products for saltwater anglers and also why the popular OR 12 boards is still "unfinished".

Bruce also describes his role as a teacher and promoter, todays market dynamics and the role charter captains now play in Off Shore promotion.

The "Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame" member also talks about the transition in leadership to his son Nick and what the future might hold for this proud American company.

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".
