046 – Gotta Jet with Mike Hale

Tell Tale Fisherman

“It’s not your typical Bass Tracker by any means …”

Guest Profile

Mike Hale is our first guest from the Peach State – Georgia. Besides having that great distinction, Mike’s preferred fishing vessel also sets him apart. You see, Mike has gone full throttle into personal watercraft fishing. After a rough day fighting the current in his kayak, Mike thought there had to be a better way. So, a pact was sealed with his cousin and fishing partner, and they both bought a “ski”. Now they are starting to get this unique fishing system dialed in, and no fish is off limits. In this episode, Mike shares how he used his new water rocket to boat a whole bunch of sweet Georgia bass.

Fishing experience

From his home base of Augusta, Georgia, Mike branches out to hit many of the local rivers and lakes. His regular target species are largemouth bass, stripers, and catfish. But now that he has a PWC and a taste for saltwater, Mike is geared up for the big pond. He already has a couple of offshore personal watercraft fishing trips under his belt. And many more planned.
