Summary

This week, I’m back from a quick trip to Georgia where I had the joy of taking my three grandsons on a guided fishing trip with Captain Mark Smith of Reel Time Guide Services out on Lake Oconee. If you’ve ever fished that lake, you know it runs DEEP in some spots. Turns out, so did our conversation.

Captain Mark shares stories about his life, guiding folks in and out of the water, and what it means to truly connect with the next generation.
