Spring Walleye Wisdom & Tactical Truths
We made it to triple digits! In this special 100th episode, Jesse and Andrew celebrate the milestone with a jam-packed deep dive into the world of walleye fishing. Joining them is walleye whisperer and Tactical Fishing Gear founder Derrick Soulliere, who shares decades of experience fishing the legendary Detroit River.
From his early days chasing fish to becoming a gear guru, Derrick unpacks the secrets of sonar, the science behind braid choice, and why jigging in strong current separates the rookies from the veterans. He also unveils a brand-new Tactical swimbait that’s got multi-species versatility written all over it.
Expect tactical tips for spring and summer walleye fishing, advice for beginners, shore fishing strategies, and why weather should be your best friend (or worst enemy) on the water. Oh, and there’s a giveaway… because what’s a celebration without free stuff?
