PITTSGROVE, N.J. — Members of CAST Crew, a hard-core group of Chicago-based anglers with a mission to take fishing from a pastime to a lifestyle,will join Mike Iaconelli on the Urban Fishing Special of Ike Live!, Sunday, Dec. 6, at 6 p.m. ET, live-streaming at MikeIaconelli.com. (Note the earlier start time.)
CAST Crew mixes fishing with street culture, music, fashion and lots of creativity for a full body-mind-soul experience. They fish from concrete shorelines, traffic buzzing in the background, mixtapes playing in their ears and GoPros recording the reel-to-bass combat. They design their own sportswear and promote the urban fishing movement across the United States. This ain’t your grandpa’s day on the lake!
“These people didn’t learn fishing at their father’s side,” said Iaconelli. “They saw it on TV and online, and started casting right off the Navy Pier in Chicago. For them, it’s a new sport, and for the fishing world, it’s a new audience.”
How did it all start and where is it heading? Iaconelli delves into that with the Cast Crew members who join him, live, in the studio for an in-depth conversation on the newest fishing edge.
