Mikey, thank you for filming this session with Matt & Gavin. So much valuable information in 40 minutes. Good luck & tight lines in 2024!

[@therealtruth2324]

Bro, this information is absolute gold. I’m so hyped for this upcoming summer season. Thanks a lot Mikey. 🤙🏼

[@anthonynoy3425]

Crazy to see bralla driving the San Diego now, basically grew up with dude fishing the local trout stuff when Miramar shined. Cool to see all the growth throughout the years. Great angler

[@Cam279]

Gavin is the man. He's put me on a lot of fish. Just wish I could get on the Pacific Queen these days. When a trip does open with a spot, I can never make it work out with work.

[@joshualin3366]
