We're targeting big, cold water walleye this month on the Off Shore Tackle Podcast.

Nicholas Zart is a Lake Erie Charter Captain and tournament angler who loves wintertime trolling.

He talks about his long time love of Lake Erie and how that fishery has changed, the differences between chartering and tournaments and why he loves to teach anglers how to catch walleye.

Zart also describes his scouting techniques for finding big fish and why he partners with Off Shore.

We're headed to Lake Erie this time on the Off Shore Tackle podcast to talk with Jason Fischer of the Fall Brawl and Lake Erie Walleye Trail.

Jason talks about the tremendous fall fishing on Erie and how it attracts more than 10,000 anglers to the annual fishing tournament.

He compares the "Brawl" to the Lake Erie Walleye Trail and explains why anybody can win the half million dollars in prizes.

Fischer also says he expects the Brawl to be won by a trolling angler again this year and talks about the role of sponsors like Off Shore Tackle in the success of the multi week event.

This month, the man in charge at Off Shore Tackle, Nick DeShano.

Nick talks about the early days of the company, his role in the evolution of Off Shore and where the Michigan based company is today.

DeShano describes his family's passion for hunting and fishing, and why it's important to keep production of their products here in the US.

He also talks about the appeal of trolling and why he believes it will always be a popular technique for many anglers.
