Lunch, share & learn art of fishing & catching

REMINDER!!!!!!

🎣 Special Presentation at Team Jo-Jo’s August Gathering this coming Saturday at Fatty’s Seafood Slidell! 🎣

We’re excited to announce that Team Jo-Jo’s one and only Big T-Doc will be making a special presentation on fishing rods at our August gathering!

Big T-Doc has been building and repairing rods for over [insert years, if you'd like] years and brings unmatched expertise to the table. His fully stocked rod-building laboratory (see attached pictures!) is filled with rods, reels, guides, eyes, thread, finishes, and everything you can imagine.

He’ll be bringing a selection of custom-built casting, spinning, and fly rods for all to see, feel, and learn from — a hands-on opportunity to take heed of his talent and craftsmanship.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or just rod-curious, bring your questions — this is a session you don’t want to miss.

🎣 Hope to see you there!

Team Jo-Jo Fishing Report

Team Jo-Jo’s own Big Wayne was out and about chasing scales of a different size—this time looking for a fight with the BIG boys.

Reward:

• At the time of the video: (4) Tarpon in the 140–150 lb class.

• Final tally: (10) Tarpon caught and released.

We’ll be requesting that Big Wayne join our September Team Jo-Jo Fishing Curriculum Session at Fatty’s Seafood to give us the inside scoop—the how-to’s—on hooking, fighting, and landing these silver giants.

Good Fishing,Team Jo-Jo & Oneofthepack
