About Jeff Samsel


The short answer anytime anyone asks what I do for a living is that I write fish stories. A content specialist for PRADCO Fishing, I tell stories about fish, fishing, fishermen and fishing destinations through words, images and video clips. 

Over developed the YouTube channel, Fishing on Foot, and a website/blog at fishingonfoot.com. Both focus on fishing that can be done without a boat, whether that’s walking a pond bank, casting from the surf or wading a trout stream.

I have authored a couple of books and contributed chapters to several others and have done a host of related projects, including public speaking, public relations work and magazine editing. 
My career started in the late 1980s with a two-year stint as editor of South Carolina Waterfowl and Wetlands. I have since served five years as an editor for Game & Fish Publications and three years as public relations manager for PRADCO-Fishing. In the years in-between I free-lanced full time from my home in the mountains of North Georgia.

Fishing adventures have lured me as far from home as Canada’s Yukon Territory and Brazil’s Amazon River basin, but my absolute favorite fishing destination (if forced to pick one) is less than an hour from my house within the rugged gorge of mountain river. I fishes for and writes about pretty much everything that swims and believe every style of fishing has its own appeals. A few favorites are stream smallmouths, wild brown trout, marsh redfish and jumbo bluegill. I've also developed a notable fondness for ice-fishing for someone who lives in Georgia.

My wife Denise and I have six children – Sarah, Nathaniel, Asher, Autumn, Eli and Holly.
