A controversial, yet popular, local fishing style makes use of an unexpected tool.
This time of year at Montrose Harbor, you’ll see people lining the lakefront with fire extinguishers — but they’re not putting out flames, they’re fishing. Powerlining is a unique fishing style with local roots. Producer Evan Garcia recently hit the harbor to catch this story.
