Vangler Fishing
Welcome! I’m just an average, Hmong amateur fisherman who loves sharing his fishing adventures with others! I’m based out of the Twin Cities in MN but frequently fish in WI and IL as well. I mainly target largemouth and smallmouth bass but will change it up every so often. I love learning new techniques, trying out new lures, customizing my lures, and I occasionally like trying things that nobody else has tried before. I don’t own my own boat at the moment but I do all kinds of fishing! Shore, canoe, kayak, boat, rivers, lakes, streams…I fish it all! Most of my fishing is old school but I will use electronics on occasion!
Join me on my fishing adventures! See what worked for me, and comment what you think I could’ve done better/differently on my outings! I’m the Vangler, and thanks for watching!
(I won’t respond to “where did you fish” comments/messages. Putting in the work to find spots is part of the adventure!)
