In this week’s episode of Terrible at Fishing on Gold Country Radio, host and self-proclaimed fishing disaster Michael Ruffino kicks off the season with a tale of deflated dreams and boat repairs gone wrong — but ends on a high note with patch jobs, pontoon pride, and hopeful casts. Michael shares the hilarious saga of trying to hit Lake of the Woods after stocking, only to be thwarted by a pinhole leak and his buddies catching fish right in front of him. He dives into new bait designs, soft plastic experiments, and early-season bass tactics like jerkbaits and chatterbaits (which, of course, he forgot to bring). Plus, he walks us through detailed local fish stocking schedules, pointing out hot lakes, kid-friendly ponds, and secret tips on how to target the big fish that chase the stocked ones. From learning fly fishing to celebrating Oregon’s overflowing lakes and rivers, it’s equal parts comedy, education, and backwoods charm.
