The guides at Wishin I was Fishin are co-owners in Talkin Tackle. They start and end their guide trips at the shop and can be found behind the counter helping customers. Our guides live the "no secrets" mentality and openly share lures, presentations, depths, structures and general locations. Dillon and Tanner can put you on the fish!
