OS 1372: LIVE at the Jax Boat Show!

With Jeff out doing some OSR, Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk invited Capt. Ricky “Hollywood” Poupore to take the trip downtown to Metro Park for the Jax Boat Show! Beautiful boats at a beautiful location…you can’t beat it!

Of course there was a bunch of fishing talk, lots of great gear tips, and even a tasty technique or two popped up in conversation.
