In this jam-packed episode of the WHIN Podcast, host Rydell Danzey (Field to Grill/F2G) sits down with two passionate Nevada kayak anglers—Abby Czarnecki and Garrett Schumer—for a candid conversation about what it really takes to get started and stay safe on the water. From gear hacks and fish tales to conservation ethics and community support, they cover it all.

Abby shares her journey from pandemic paddle-outs to tournament circuits, while Garrett brings his guzzler-building and bass-hunting insight straight from the habitat frontlines. You’ll hear stories about 14-mile wind battles on Lake Mead, creative kayak rigging, and how kayak fishing is more than just a sport—it’s therapy, it’s community, and it’s conservation.
