In the world of fishing, a little bit of knowledge can go a long way. Local Knowledge Fishing Show focuses on the culture of fishing as seen through the often humorous viewpoints of two drastically different fishermen from opposite sides of the country. Captain Ali Hussainy of San Diego, California is the President of BD Outdoors, the largest fishing site on the web, while Capt. Rush Maltz is a born and raised Florida Keys fishing guide. Armed with years of fishing experience from both coasts, the show merges east and west coast fishing styles for a unique take on the “fishing show.” Follow hosts Capt. Ali Hussainy and Capt. Rush Maltz, two friends from opposite ends of the country, as they fish destinations both on and off the beaten path.
