Float Plan
Airing on the Sun Sports Network: 7/13 6pm, 7/14 5pm, 7/16 5pm

What float’s your boat…er’bait? Odds are if you’re not using some type of float in your arsenal, from time to time, you’re missing out on one of the oldest and best ways to: keep your bait up in the water column, add distance to your casts and actually see your strike before you feel it.

Join us in Florida Bay as Mike Conner and Capt Kip Dougherty go after speedy spanish mackerel under your traditional cork floats and then we shift gears and use balloon floats to catch Mack’s big brother, King.
