We said we wouldn’t do it, we said it wouldn’t be a good idea, but we went back to the Undisclosed Location. Episode 16 has Matthew and Jamey back at the UL. Will the secret fishing hole be too scummed over in the heat? Will Matthew and Jamey catch as many fish as they feel

Unfortunately, our
Jamey and Matthew visit their favorite little fishing hole for the first time this season.

Jamey takes the week off, as Matthew takes a family trip to North Carolina and Lake Norman.
