Capt. Ryan

After thousands of days on the water, you stop seeing isolated incidents and start seeing patterns. And captains and anglers may be thinking their own thoughts, but they're actually absorbing the state of what everyone is consuming on social media.

Have you ever considered protecting your attention and mental health with the same awareness as you would protect your best fishing spot?

I know I am not alone; what I see on the water isn't right.

Mental Health isn't just therapy:

It's how you respond when someone cuts you off, copies your work, steals your spots or challenges your decisions.

And I have worked on awareness and managing my state so I can stay focused on catching fish for my clients.

The trick is to start noticing the activation before it starts affecting your behavior.

Otherwise, it starts to define your identity.

Thank you for subscribing, listening and sharing this crucial conversation.

Good conservation isn't just about protecting fish. It's about protecting the future of the sport.

And let's not forget, "Anytime you're fishing it's all good!"

The community I mentioned for spot finding is called THE Angler's Edge.

Why would someone stop and look at your brand? What brand ideas are working and where are there some gaps? What ideas did we see and get inspired by at ICAST 2026? How can you build your brand in the new memory economy? Do you have an ecosystem built or are you still relying on the same marketing to build your brand? My wife Melinda Van Fleet and I attended the first day of ICAST 2026. We have a well-developed ecosystem as part of that is that I am also a buyer for the Chris's Bait and Tackle Shop at Tavernier Creek Marina. I not only picked up some new fishing product ideas but also... We were inspired by the human connection, collaborations, new products, marketing trends and more. There is more building a long-term brand than social media. You have to create reasons for someone to come back. Getting out fo your comfort zone and attending a marketing event is crucial to not only learn what's going on in brand building and event marketing but also customer experience, community building, brand loyalty, and relationship marketing. All of these intrinsic aspects of marketing also contribute to your ecosystem, which helps build a memorable business model not just an attention business model. What aspects are you focusing on?

How to Troll in Sargassum Grass: Weedless Mahi Rigging and Trolling Tactics Episode Summary

Are you completely exhausted from reeling in "salad" instead of dolphin? The traditional clean-water offshore trolling playbook is officially dead. In this podcast I am shared numerous mahi mahi trolling tips for fishing heavy sargassum weed.

Due to the unrelenting easterly trade winds, the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt is pushing hyper-dense fields of scattered weeds through the Caribbean and the Loop Current conveyor belt.

If you try to pull a standard trolling spread right now, you will spend 90% of your day clearing lines instead of catching dolphin, wahoo, and tuna. In this masterclass episode, we provide the ultimate mechanical survival guide to offshore weedless rigging. Learn how to stop fighting the grass and start manipulating it by weaponizing a sacrificial frontline system—a game-changing technique that holds floating macroalgae hostage up the line while your trailing bait stays 100% clean, lethal, and ready to get pulverized.

If you try to pull a standard trolling spread right now, you will spend 90% of your day clearing lines instead of catching dolphin, wahoo, and tuna. In this podcast episode, I provide the ultimate mechanical survival guide to offshore weedless rigging and more. Learn how to stop fighting the grass and start manipulating it by weaponizing a sacrificial frontline system—a game-changing technique that holds floating sargassum hostage up the line while your trailing bait stays 100% clean, lethal, and ready to get pulverized by big bull dolphin this summer.

Outrigger Geometry & High-Angle Weed Deflection

Use extreme towing elevation via angled kingfish riggers or T-top extensions to keep 90% of your running gear airborne and out of the surface film. Plus, breaking down the mandatory "5-Foot Rule" for strict leader separation.

The Titanium Leader Upgrade vs. Monofilament

Why single-strand titanium leader wire completely outperforms hard mono on heavy grass days. The physics of superelasticity, laser-straight memory under tension, and frictionless micro-diameters that give sargassum bladders zero surface area to hang up on.

Weaponizing the Sacrificial Ball-Bearing Snap Swivel

Turning your terminal connection point into an offensive mechanical grass trap. Why high-RPM, dual-rotation tournament ball-bearing snap swivels are non-negotiable for isolating line torque and catching sliding weeds 5 feet ahead of the lure cavity.

Best Lure Skirts for Grass: Mylar & Rubber vs. Nylon Hair Traps

Why traditional nylon hair skirts (like standard Sea Witches) act like Velcro to fine sargassum stems. We break down the slick-surface physics of flat Mylar strips and non-porous rubber octopus skirts that utilize high-frequency micro-vibrations at 6 knots to physically shake loose debris.

How to Rig a Sacrificial Trolling Daisy Chain

Building a hookless "offensive line" of inline teasers to plow a localized white-water clean pocket for your trailing lines to swim in. How fish psychology works when targeting the clean straggler at the back of the school.

Trolling Hook Geometry: Curved Circle Hooks vs. Open J-Hooks

Why straight, open-gap J-hooks act like miniature gaffs for grass. We discuss how curved circle hooks provide an inward-facing shield that can be tucked safely inside the rear cavity of a trolling lure.

Trolling with Finger Mullet vs. Ballyhoo & Dead Bait Prep

The host's personal signature play. Why swapping ballyhoo for finger mullet creates a seamless, hydrodynamic, zero-edge teardrop. Learn how a mullet's muscular back allows for a true, weedless, Texas-style skin-pinched rig that skips effortlessly over sargassum mats.

Master Bait Armor via Dead Bait Solutions

Step-by-step workflow using specialized bait preservatives. How a slow-thaw brine firms core muscle fibers and locks in deep iridescent flash, and why dusting baits with bait salt creates bulletproof leather armor that won't wash out at 7+ knots.

Active Trolling Tactics & The 3-Second Pit-Stop Clear

The massive competitive edge of physically holding the rods while trolling at 6–7 knots. Learn how to feel the exact moment a snap swivel catches grass via rod-tip vibration, and how to execute a lightning-fast transom clear without ever stopping the boat.

Spread Management: The "Problem Child" Rule

Knowing when to pull a fouled line tight into the clean prop wash, swap to a sub-surface naked artificial bullet, or clear the deck entirely to run a hyper-focused, weed-immune 3-rod spread.

I first started watching The Spanish Fly with Jose Wejebe when I was in college.

Watching his show was a bright spot in my life especially if I couldn't go fishing. When my wife, Melinda, and I moved to The Florida Keys, we had the honor of meeting him at an event in Key West...

So, being able to record this podcast with his daughter Krissy Wejebe...

Well, it was special and very appreciated

Thanks for watching and enjoy the episode!

YouTube- Spanish Fly TV

On April 6, 2012, the fishing community lost a great angler, icon, and friend, Jose Wejebe, host of the immensely popular saltwater fishing television show, Spanish Fly. Through his show and his adventures, Jose shared his passion for fishing and a lifestyle that touched and inspired anglers around the world.

At the same time, Jose encouraged conservation, leading his viewers by example to take better care of the environment they so enjoy. Jose Wejebe never forgot his humble beginnings or those others that helped him find success. Throughout his life and career, Jose unselfishly donated his time, money and equipment to support countless charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, The Marc House, Wounded Warriors, Big Brothers and Big Sisters and many others. The charitable work seen on his television series, "Spanish Fly", documented only a small portion of his generosity.

Behind the scenes, he quietly assisted with many more charities throughout the world. He did so out of compassion and kindness, and was humbled by those who expressed their appreciation. In order to continue Jose's passion for the marine environment, and dedication to support those who face life-impacting challenges, The Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation was founded in April 2012. The Foundation will honor Jose's legacy by continuing his charitable efforts. (This copy is from their website.)

Krissy Wejebe, grew up in The Florida Keys immersed in the world of sport fishing, conservation, and the natural beauty of the coastal environment. Her mother worked at The Dolphin Research Center and her dad was a fisherman.

After her dad passed in 2012, Krissy channeled her grief into action by establishing the The Jose Wejebe Spanish Fly Memorial Foundation and also manages The Spanish Fly brand, production and licensing.

Krissy is an avid outdoor enthusiast and spends time on the water with her two sons (AJ and Ryder) and boyfriend "Uncle Chuck." Her personal and professional lives are intertwined by a common thread- profound love of the ocean and a dedication to making a positive impact.

Bermuda Blood & Wahoo Grit

Feat. Phoenix Bowers

1 Hour and 17 Minutes. Zero knots. No apologies.

I sat down with Phoenix Bowers, a guy who's been riding with this podcast for seven years and actually knows what the hell he's doing on the water.

Phoenix doesn't just fish; he executes. His entire game is built on efficiency—stripping away the fluff to make every second on the water count. He's been listening to me tell it like it is since 2019.

We riffed on efficiency of fishing for wahoo and snapper.

You either get it, or you don't.

Stop Chasing Ghosts: SatFish Tactics & The Jumbo Yellow Eye Secret(Again) Episode Overview

If your fishing strategy involves refreshing Instagram to find your next spot, you've already lost.

A 15-degree temperature drop doesn't care about a "like" from last Tuesday, and that "hot report" you saw in a South Florida Facebook group is already froze out.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the SatFish Course curriculum to show you how to find your own path.

I summarize the core takeaways from Lessons 1 and 2, and give you a high-level preview of what's dropping in Lesson 3.

So, this next level intensive with Dr. R. Jeffrey Barr PhD Chief Scientist and Head of Product for SatFish which is part of BD Outdoors is next level.

If you are not using a product like SatFish, this is also a great way to get introduced and start to learn how it can help you find more spots and improve your catch rate.

They have a free trial code to use during the duration of the course. Dr. Jeff Barr shares more in this video on what you will learn. Click here for all the course details and get signed up! https://www.goodkarmafishingtackle.co...

Back by popular demand: I'm revisiting the "Sauce" for catching jumbo Yellow Eye Snappers in high-pressure zones.

Is it 1985 or 2026? Because the air in Chicago hasn't felt this electric since Coach Mike Ditka was roaming the sidelines in his famous sweater vest.

Did you see Walter Payton :) I did in all those players. The smiles gave it away.

In this episode, I am breaking down the legendary Bears vs. Packers rivalry and how the city of Chicago has finally found its soul again.

For years, critics looked down on Caleb Williams questioning their style, his swagger and attitude, and whether he had the right "mojo" to lead any NFL team. Caleb Williams was treated like an fishing expensive lure that looks good on the shelf but can't catch a thing in rough water.

But look at him now. We're diving into how the right mentorship has unlocked his potential. It's a reminder that in football—and in fishing—you don't have to change your nature to succeed; you just need the right environment and a good mentor that understands you.

When the city gets behind you and the right coaches believe in you, you stop playing "safe" and start playing like a legend. Same holds true in fishing.

We also explore why this rivalry brings out the absolute best in sports. While Chicago brings the urban grit, the Packers draw from the collective energy of the entire state of Wisconsin—a "small-town" force that fuels a global powerhouse. It's a clash of cultures and you gotta love that!

In this episode:

• The Culture Shift: Why Chicago finally feels like a "Ditka-era" football town again.

• Silencing the Doubters: How Caleb proved that with the right mentorship, you can be exactly who you are.

• State vs. City: How the Packers' statewide energy forces the Bears to elevate their game.

• The Fisherman's Perspective: Why the best Bears seasons—much like the best fishing trips—require patience, the right "fishing spot," and a whole lot of heart.

Unlike the typical fishing influencers or "South Florida Fishing and Florida Keys " style channels that fish for "likes". Good Karma Sportfishing is dedicated to the science, strategy, and specific tactics needed to catch trophy fish in the Florida Keys. I am Captain Ryan Van Fleet. I am not a YouTuber; I am a professional Owner-Operator with 16+ years of experience guiding in the Upper Florida Keys. The Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast Launched in August 2018, this is an "underground" resource kept secret by many serious anglers. No fluff, no "dock talk"—just real tips, stories, and tactical advice on Wahoo trolling speeds, wire rigging, and reading the water. CONNECT WITH CAPTAIN RYAN Website: https://www.goodkarmasportfishing.com Instagram: / goodkarmasportfishing_fl_keys Email: [email protected] Anytime you're fishing, it's all good. INFLUENCERS FISH FOR LIKES. I FISH FOR DINNER. There is a massive difference between fishing for a camera and fishing for a cooler. My techniques aren't designed to look cinematic on Instagram; they are designed to be efficient, science-based, and productive. While others guess, I rely on oceanographic data, stabilization technology, and biological logs to guarantee the best possible shot at a trophy Wahoo, Mutton Snapper, or Grouper. THE GOOD KARMA DIFFERENCE: TECH & COMFORT We operate the most technologically advanced charter experience in the Upper Keys. We don't just go where the fleet goes; we use data to find our own fish. A Seakeeper-Equipped Charter in the Upper Keys. W run the legendary 24' Good Karma and the 37' Inilesor Catamaran. Our flagship vessel features a Seakeeper Gyro Stabilization system. This technology spins at high speeds inside the hull, actively counteracting waves and reducing boat roll by 96%. Why this matters: If you want to fish hard but your spouse or kids are worried about seasickness, this is the only boat for you. We offer a stability that generic fleets like Sea Spirit simply cannot match. 2. Science-Based Strategy (SatFish & Minn Kota Quest) We utilize real-time SatFish oceanographic data to track Chlorophyll breaks, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) edges, and current flow. Combined with the precision of the Minn Kota Quest trolling motor, we stay pinned on the spot while others drift off the bite. 3. 100% Private & Owner-Operated I do not hire fishing mates. When you book with me, you get me. I work with you 1-on-1. DEPARTURE LOCATIONS & GEOTAGS We depart from two strategic locations in the Upper Keys to maximize our fishing time.

Anytime you're fishing it's all good! Has been my motto and tagline since day one.

In fishing, you also need to be trying new ideas on and off the water. My courses and communities also subscribe to that mindset.

So, I finally found a home for an idea that I had back in 2020 during Covid-19 when I launched The Good Karma Rigging Crew and the Good Karma Sportfishing App.

During the years of when the App was in good use, we learned it was a lot to add various features. At the same time, more ready-made apps hit the market. The nature of innovatio. So I side-lined the idea I had to create a online fishing community with a credit based system.

When we started Good Karma Sportfishing on Patreon in December of 2024. We had an open mind and took it one step at a time. Now, coming up close to a year, it's a great platform and it could house the idea.
