Lucy ordered Crappie Hippie and Tim to fish more, so Lucy threw together this best-of episode! We throw back to how to clean lures with WD40 and also put in some show bits we did together for an old friend’s podcasting project. Lucy then shares parts of an interview she and John did with Meg Carney on the Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, excerpts from her and Tim’s guest appearance on Wisconsin Outdoors with Dan Small, as well as Crappie Hippie’s take over of the Woman Angler and Adventurer Podcast where he interviews show creator Angie Scott. We close with the worst ear worm song parody ever, so you have been warned!
