Member since July 2022 Mooresville, United States
Background
Capt. Jeff Tomlin has been fishing Lake Norman for over 40 years and has such a passion for angling that it's even pushed him to innovate. His planer boards help give all anglers the chance to widen their reach and attract more fish. Initially made for Striper fishing in the reservoir, they're now used even in saltwater. Capt. Jeff is very proud of this and hopes to show you how they work.
