Our beloved stripers are in a bad spot. But this isn’t about that. Not directly, anyways. I had never met Todd, co-founder of Dupe a Fish, in person.

My FOMO runs strong this time of year. Every second I’m not fishing is spent thinking about fishing. Every scroll through my Instagram feeds brings me pictures of fresh caught stripers by all of you guys, and I find myself swearing under my breath and locking my phone, only to pick it back up in […]
