On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we dive into the world of Virginia crappie fishing with Jake Shiner! Jake is on a mission to break the state record—whether it’s setting a new benchmark for white crappie or surpassing the existing black crappie record of 4.10 pounds. One of Jake’s biggest crappie ever caught is now proudly displayed in the aquarium at Cabela’s in Gainesville, VA! I could talk about crappie fishing in reservoirs all day, but what you really need to know is that the lake record has officially been broken!

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Doug Roberts Jr., owner of FishNFX Rods, to dive into his lifelong passion for fishing and craftsmanship. Doug shares how his love for the sport began with his grandfather, preparing tackle the night before every trip—making sure rods were clean, lines were strong, and hooks were razor-sharp. The process of getting everything just right became just as thrilling as the fishing itself. At age 10, he discovered the joy of tying flies, further fueling his obsession with precision. But as he grew older, simply choosing spots and crafting tackle wasn’t enough. That passion evolved into building custom rods, pushing the boundaries of performance and design. Join us as Doug takes us through his journey of dedication, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect fishing experience.

Description: In this episode of Fishing the DMV, we tackle "Florida’s Bass Fishing Crisis!!! The Decline of St. Johns River Bass Fishery." Join host [Your Name] as we sit down with Joe Balog, founder of Mighty River Recovery, to discuss the alarming decline of the St. Johns River bass fishery. As a seasoned fisheries scientist and passionate conservationist, Joe sheds light on the factors contributing to this crisis and the proactive measures his organization is implementing to restore these vital habitats.

We delve into the critical role of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in maintaining healthy fisheries and how its deterioration impacts not only Florida's waters but also those in Virginia and Maryland. Anglers concerned about the loss of SAV in the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay, and other local waterways will find Joe's insights particularly valuable. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone passionate about bass fishing, conservation, and the future of our aquatic ecosystems.
