Anthony Pino: I was wondering, you guys are pretty consistent at fishing. how much does the dredge play into it? You're catching so many fish in the grass and then, why would you even bother putting the dredge out there? Chase Neiderer: Personaly I don't think it matters. Like I get it.

The only difference I saw when we actually added a dredge out there is we'd see a couple of lazier fish on the Bridge teaser or the Cockpit teaser. Like I wonder...
Matthew George: I think out of the hundred fish that we caught, 10 of them were dead bait. So, Dead bait trolling on a little eight, six beam or something. You just pull one big strip dredge down the middle, and we just prospect that dredge and you get your bites, but it's definitely not like the big boat that's for sure. We don’t even have those small outriggers, no outriggers, at all. So we'll pull the dredges just off a rod tip. I got a big Tarpon spinning rod that I use, I just pull it right off of...

Do you still think the ride will be the same? Will the boat noise be different? What are your thoughts on changing the hull material from wood to another material? John Floyd: Well, this is a very important subject to me and I am a very firm believer in the superiority of cold...
I've recently seen a change happen in the media landscape. In the past, businesses had to either get on TV or be featured in a magazine to get their message out. As a result of this, they were at the mercy of privately owned media companies that are inherently biased. With the growth of social media, companies can now go direct to consumer and communicate with directly with their customers. It's because of that, that we've seen a serious disruption in the industry. Companies are now creating their own media publications and going direct to consumer, it allows us as...
