On this week's episode, we have the chance to sit down with Captain Chris Karwacki. Chris is a fly-fishing guide focused on Speckled Trout and Striped Bass in the waters of Tangier Sound. The Sound is known as one of the gems of the Chesapeake Bay, stretching along the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia and providing habitat for a diverse range of saltwater fish including not only "Specks" and "Stripers" but also Bluefish, Weakfish, Redfish and Black Drum, to name a few. We'll go in-depth into the tactics and equipment that Chris uses to target the Speckled Trout that inhabit the Sound and discuss what makes the Sound such a special place.
