In this episode of the InCamp Podcast, I sit down with TJ Erickson to talk all things fall fishing—from chasing walleyes to dialing in crappie fishing patterns.
TJ shares his fishing journey, starting as a kid obsessed with walleyes in Minnesota, to becoming a guide, a fishing educator, and part of the growing fishing community on YouTube. We cover everything from the role of fishing technology like forward-facing sonar, to breaking down brand-new lakes with smart mapping strategies and reading seasonal fishing habitats.
You’ll hear TJ’s take on:
• Why fall patterns make this season one of the most exciting for anglers.
• The importance of current, structure, and transitions for finding fall walleyes.
• How to balance guiding, creating content, and family life with a newborn.
• Passing on fishing knowledge to the next generation.
• The thrill of fishing competitions and how they shape new fishing techniques.
This episode is loaded with fishing tips, strategies, and stories that’ll help you catch more fish this fall—and remind you why we all love this sport!
