LATITUDE BUDDIES
Travel companions hidden around the world
Rod the Reel
Every Cast Is a New Adventure
Rod loves a good fishing trip, whether he's casting into a quiet mountain stream or heading offshore in search of something bigger. He'll get up before sunrise for a fishing charter, spend hours on the water, and still have plenty of energy to talk about the day's catch over dinner.
He enjoys exploring new fishing destinations, learning from local guides, and finding places where the scenery is just as memorable as the fishing. And if the fish aren't biting? Rod will probably suggest one more cast.
