Today was epic! John Bergsma with Fisherman's Digest and Jeff Miller owner of Traxstech came to Harrisville today and jumped on the boat to shoot footage for one of John's TV shows 🫶
I've been talking with John by phone to determine a good day to video, and boy did we pick a winner 😏 it was glass on Lake Huron today. Jeff came aboard to talk about his rod holders and downriggers that we installed on Adeline, turning her into a fish catching beauty on the water 😍
We had two directions for the show today, one was for Jeff to showcase and talk about traxstech and how any boat at any age could be transformed, and the second I asked if I could bring my mate Casey and his three sons on board to show fishing is a family event and fun for everyone 🤟
Miles, Corbin and Easton got to set lines, pick lures and reel in fish after fish today with an ending showcase of all three boys helping each other land a personal best for me and Adeline, a 20# Lake trout dinosaur 😳🙌 on a 12 color long line (550' behind the boat 😜) Casey netted the fish and John jumped into action giving closing credits for the show and then we were able to release the 30 year old fish back into the lake 🫶
We caught ten lake trout and a five pound steelhead today, but catching the fish was a small part. Jeff was able to show me how to maximize my boat for a more fluid /user friendly fishing platform, and John really got into helping and teaching the boys about salmon fishing, only strengthening Casey's strong parenting skills of raising our next generation of outdoorsmen 👊
John wasn't sure when the show will be aired, but he will contact me once he finds out after editing, and I'll post and let you know immediately as well 😊 Fisherman's digest airs on CBS sports, FOX sports, YouTube, Pursuit Outdoor channel and Wild TV Canada as well as being nationally syndicated.
Thank you so much, John and Jeff for allowing us with Fishcop Charters to show what Harrisville and the northern Lake Huron ports around us have to offer ❤️
