GHOULIE JIGS The OG of SOCAL TROUT Fishing - The GET MADE SHOW Ep.6

What's Up, Anglers!?!

In this episode of THE GET MADE SHOW, we sit down with Mat Herrera — a true San Diego County OG and one of the pioneers who helped shape the modern SoCal trout fishing culture.

From growing up fishing local lakes, to influencing an entire generation through Angler Clothing Company, Mat has been on the front lines of the SoCal trout boom. He’s provided anglers with fishing derbies from saltwater to freshwater, built the community before social media made it easy, and paved the way for many of today’s trout anglers and creators.

Now, Mat brings his passion into every hand-tied Ghoulie Jig, crafting baits inspired by the old-school SoCal bite with a modern twist.

In this episode we talk:
• The early days of the SoCal trout scene
• The rise of mini jigs + culture around ultralight fishing
• Mat’s influence through Angler Clothing Co.
• Ghoulies Jigs — the story, the craft, the bite
• Building community, mental resilience, and the future of SoCal trout fishing

Whether you grew up throwing jigs at local stock ponds or you’re new to the trout game, this episode is packed with history, inspiration, and pure SoCal fishing culture.

👉 If you love trout fishing, SoCal vibes, or stories about turning passion into a movement, this episode is a must-watch.
