Free Range Tales

On this week's episode we discuss the start of the Southern California Sportfishing season.  We discuss the delayed start of the sportfishing season due to coronavirus and the trips we've gone out on since the season offically opened.  We discuss an early season trip chasing the elusive Bluefin Tuna and sucessful trips to the local islands hunting for yellowtail.  We share tips, techniques and lessons learned aboard Sportfishing boats in these great local fisheries.  It has been a great start to the season, so we had a lot of fun with this one and hope you do too!  Thanks for listening! 

On this week's episode we discuss on spring adventures including bass and trout fishing some local freshwater during the pandemic and Adrian's strike mission down to Baja to fill his freezer.  We are all trying to navigate these strange times and fishing is something that keeps us sane through it all.  This was our first time back in the studio after taking a few months off.  We had alot of fun with this one and hope you do to!  Thanks for listening.   

On this weeks episode we are joined by Paul Byrd, the President and Founder of Argos Gear.  We discuss Paul's origin story into spearfishing, some of his adventures into Baja and how he started Argos Gear.

Paul is a throwback to a time of self-reliance and innovation, and a time that if you wanted to go, you had to make your own gear.  We've been lucky enough to get to know Paul over the years and enjoyed the lineage of knowledge and experience he has in the ocean and the game of spearfishing.

I feel like we barely scratched the surface with all the stories, experience and adventures Paul's gotten into, but it was great to have a conversation with one our mentors and true innovators in the game.  

On this week's episode we're going over a few firsts...  We recap a first lobster diving trip, a first driven duck and pheasant hunt with the first shots flying out of some new shotguns!  We've been busy in the field, but looking forward to getting into the new studio, because we're moving!  We had a lot of fun with this one and hope you do too!  Thanks for listening! 

On this week's episode we recap our fall season.  We discuss our quail hunting season opener and pre-game before our lobster dive tonight!  We give some tips and pointers for locating quail and how to lobster dive.  This is a magic time of year because you can hunt and dive in the same season!  We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you do too!  Thanks for listening.

On this week's episode we recap a successful dove season opener.  Dove season is the first hunting season to open and kicks off the fall.  It has become a hunt that we look forward to every year and is definitely one of our favorites.  This year was special because we hunted a new area with great friends and the hunt included a little bit of everything from preseason scouting on the Internet, scouting in person and finding what turned out to be an epic spot.  We are joined by Amy Tarasi and Zac Palomino to relive the hunt, discuss some recipes and just how good our dove season opener was.  We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you do too!

On this week's episode we interview Lamar "So Salty" Lee.  We met Lamar on an offshore fishing trip out of San Diego's Fisherman's Landing on the Condor Sportfishing boat.  On the trip, Lamar was constantly getting hooked up and landing fish.  Every time he got bit, he kept yelling... "SO SALTY"!  His energy was contagious and was someone we needed to talk to.  

We discuss Lamar's origins into fishing, the trips he's taken around the world chasing fish and his commitment to staying salty!  Lamar is one of those underground guys that lives and breathes everything we're all about here on the Free Range Tales.

On this week's episode we discuss the differences between public and private land hunting and share our experiences hunting both.  Approximately 640 million acres, about 28% of all of the United States, is public land held in trust for the American people by the federal government for us to access and enjoy.  We cover the pros and cons to both public and private land hunting, but the biggest takeaway for us was to get out there and enjoy the resources we have! 

On this week's episode we discuss some of the lessons learned spearfishing.  Spearfishing is a pursuit filled with plenty of ups and downs.  From losing gear, to missed fish... To bringing home a great meal and spending time with good friends...  No matter what happens, one things for sure, there's always a story to tell.

On today's episode we recap our spring.  It has been a fishy few months for us!  Adrian recaps an epic spearfishing trip down to Baja, we discuss some trout fishing in the eastern sierras and cover some Sportfishing trips we've done here locally in Southern California.  We also discuss some fish recipes with all the goods we've been bringing home.
