Hey! My name is Kate Margaret Via (FishingWithKate). I’m from a small town in Omaha, Nebraska and I have a strong love for angling that sprouts from growing up around the water. I started fishing as soon as I could walk, and in 2019 I had the courage to finally go public in the fishing community. I am beyond thankful for all the support in this journey and I could not have done this without every individual that has supported me. God bless and prayers for tight lines and strong hook sets! I will be sharing tips and tricks in both fishing, outdoors, life, faith, relationships, and more!
Why I Stopped Posting at 130K Followers | The Dangers of Social Media
And so I start the cold hard truth podcast series. . . I have 130K followers on tiktok. I have 30K on Instagram. With all that, I have realized how social media makes an impact on my life and what the truths really are behind it. Enough of hearing how great social media is, in all reality it is destroying lives.

This Could be Your Last Day
Each day we are one day closer to our last. What is after this? What even is faith? While we hear day in and day out what people believe in, we fail to ask WHY they believe in that. I talk about this very question and dive into the true meaning behind what it means to be a saved Christian. While many believe in God, what does that mean? What do you believe? Why do you believe. Faith is not simple to someone who does not know it. So, let's find out what it is! What is faith? But most importantly where is your faith? Many have heard of the gospel and of Jesus's story, but do you really know it? This could be your last day, what are you going to do about it?

Baitcast Fishing Manual (how to prevent birdnest, which one do I get)
Ever wanted to learn how to use a baitcast, well, it's your lucky day. Fishing with a baitcast is a entire new and exciting thing, but can often times be a headache. I cover what gear ratio you should get, what spool tension is, what brakes are, what that little star lookin thing is by your handle, and how to prevent a birdnest. Make sure to put backing on your reel if your using braid (forgot to add that in, match the line diameter!). Now go and buy yourself a baitcast with confidence and certainty that you know exactly what you're doing!
I've caught some crazy things lemme tell ya. Some things just go to show how random my fishing adventures might be. From one second I think I'm reeling in a 20lb bass, to quickly learning I'm hooked on a snapper. A quick story time, I know. But with life as crazy as it is right now, bare with me! Let me know what y'all still want to hear!

Fishing Line
There is so many different brands and different options. In this podcast I cover those differences. From braid, to fluorocarbon, to monofilament. I go over exactly what line I use and what line I recommend you use. I know that it can be stressful when being faced with the decision that could make or brake your fishing experience. Line is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing while fishing in my opinion (of course lure choice is even more important) but to me, line is more important than your rods and reels!

Why I Started Fishing
This is my story and why exactly I started to fish. Each person has their unique story as to why they do what they do. This is mine. From being a small town girl in Nebraska to reaching over 200 thousand people through social media, this is why I keep doing what I am doing. Fishing is something so many look to in times of despair, times of joy, and times of need. Through each cast I'll let you know why I keep pursuing my fishing career and what brought me into it.

Fishing Products Tier System, "What should I buy?"
We both know fishing can be crazy expensive. But you don't have to be rich to get quality rods and reels for a decent price. Here are some of the rods and reels I own and stand by, but are still price friendly at high quality. I let you know what rods and reels I consider "lower tier" for the more begginer fisherman who aren't entirely sure If they want to invest in a nicer rod and reel. Then I move to that mid-range fishing criteria, then close with the higher end. I let you know my opinion and what I have learned being a female fisherman in this fishing industry. Again, don't go around looking lost when buying your first reel, let me take care of that initial confusion and nervousness away from you.
