BIO Andy Couch can not remember a time when he did not like to fish. Andy learned from his Dad at a young age and has been sharing that knowledge and other skills he has learned ever since. Andy has been guiding salmon fishermen for 20 years and still gets too excited to sleep the night before his first trip of the season. Andy has written fishing articles for Alaska Outdoors, Fish Alaska, and Alaska Magazines and taught several salmon fishing classes and seminars. He has tied his own flies, built custom fishing rods, and makes spinners for use on his salmon charters. Mr. Couch has helped introduce several techniques now used by many professional guides and private anglers fishing Alaska's Little Susitna River. Drifting bait below slip bobbers for silver or coho salmon is one of those techinques that has blossomed into an extremely fun, exciting, and popular way to catch big salmon on Little Susitna River. ABOUT THE ESB "During my years guiding salmon anglers my guests and I have drifted salmon roe under many different brands and models of floats or slip bobbers. Some of these bobbers have supposedly been designed specificly for salmon and steelhead fishing in rivers, and look similar to ESB Bobbers, however, ESB Bobbers have proven to be considerably more durable and functionable. While ESBs may cost a little more than lower quality bobbers, ESBs are a much better value, because they continue to work well long after lower quality bobbers have either broken apart or become worn and quit working. I also appreciate the fact that ESBs come in 4 different color patterns, because when several guests are drifting bobbers behind my boat it makes it easier for them to identify which bobber is their own when they look away for a moment and then look back. Certain color patterns also show up better under different lighting conditions, so that is another advantage to having a variety of colors. For drifting baits long distances I've always liked the visibility of a large bobber like the size 6 ESB, however when water is extremely low and clear, or when salmon are finicky and biting lightly using smaller bobbers, with less water resistance, sometimes increases the number of fish hooked."

BIO Greg was born in Gibraltar, Michigan in 1968. Gibraltar is a small community in southern Michigan located in Southeastern portion of the state on the Detroit River where it flows into Lake Erie. He acquired his first boat at the age of twelve and has been fishing ever since. Greg has been participating in walleye tournaments since 1996. He started on circuits such as the Michigan Walleye Tour, USFA Pro Team Walleye Events, and MWC Team Circuit and has in recent years since 1999 focused primarily on the two largest professional walleye circuits, which are the PWT (Professional Walleye Trail) and the RCL Walleye Circuit. He has just recently acquired his captain’s license to charter fishing and hunting trips from the United States Coast Guard. This has been a longtime dream of Greg’s to guide people for fish and fowl. Greg’s goal is to be able to pass on the knowledge that he has been so blessed to learn over the years on to somebody else who is ready to learn more about fishing or hunting. During his travel each and every season he strives to promote those who work towards common goals in promoting the outdoor industry as a whole. ABOUT THE ESB “ESB bobbers are just what they stand for, (Everlasting Slip Bobber). These bobbers are bulletproof. I have used many of the competitor’s bobbers on the market and have had good success with them to a certain point then they become cut or grooved by the line wear on the tip and bottom end of the float shaft. That will not happen with ESB bobbers due to the ESB glass stop bead on the top of the shaft and the brass terminal end on the bottom. The high visibility fluorescent colors are very helpful in being able to watch your spread of bobbers in all weather conditions. These are by far the best bobbers I have ever fished.”

BIO About Randy Kuhens: I LOVE to FISH and MEET NEW FRIENDS! My goal is to share my lake knowledge and fishing techniques with you to make your day on the water both fun and rewarding. My greatest satisfaction is seeing a happy fisherman with a big smile on his or her face. I've been a fishing nut for most of my life and have lived on the shores of Kentucky Lake since 1998. I'm on the water every day whether I guide or not, searching for those special areas that attract game fish and finding out the best baits and patterns that work here on Kentucky Lake. I am in the business to pass on things I have learned to you, the angler. Not only will I put you where the fish are, but I will also teach you how and where to use lures and techniques that you may have only read about. My home is Kentucky Lake but my fishing and guiding experience is not limited to just this area. Since 1981 I have guided Wilderness Canoe Trips in the Quetico and BWCA as well as canoe trips in Missouri, Arkansas, and Virginia. You are in good hands. I am U.S. Coast Guard and KDFWR licensed and insured as well as CPR and First AID Certified. I look forward to meeting you and I hope by the end of the day, the friendships formed and the fish caught, will provide memories to last a lifetime! Randy Kuhens ABOUT THE ESB Everlasting Slip Bobbers &ldots; or ESB Bobbers as Leroy Johnston of HL Outdoors, the inventor, calls them. Essentially what you have is a high quality slip bobber that has a lot of unique features that will help you catch more fish. This product features a glass stop bead molded into the top of the bobber tube that’s highly polished and much smoother than plastic. Since it causes less friction against your line your bait gets to the fish much faster than with an ordinary slip float. Also having the built in stop bead means you won’t have to buy one and no more losing the loose stop bead when you have to re-tie. The bottom end of the ESB tube is protected by a brass guard which helps protect the line from fraying and lost fish. The float itself is made of styrofoam which means less resistance during the cast plus it’s easy for a fish to pull it under. ESB Bobbers are tough too! I used one for four months until I backed over it with my boat trailer. ESB Bobbers come in six assorted sizes ranging from bluegill to big game fish size. For redear and bluegill we use the #1 size, for casting curly tails for crappie we use the #1 & #2 size and for fishing over deep water brush the #3. Several colors are available so each angler can see which float is his or hers. The bigger sizes are excellent choices for catfish. Sometimes it’s the little things that make such a big difference and Leroy really thought this one thru &ldots; also included is a small tube with a string stop knot with every bobber. So there you have it; a complete bobber package with a built in stop bead, float and string stop knot&ldots; all at a price that’s about the same as a float of lesser quality. Check out the ESB Bobbers at the local tackle shops around the KY Lake.
