Enjoy the ride! On this episode of Connected By Water presented by Joey Accardi Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Dennis brings on a couple of friends that are near and dear to his heart. Connected By Water Co-owner, Harris Katz, and CBW Fleet boat Captain, Charles Hertel of Tekeze Charters stopped by to hang out for a couple of drinks.

Citizen science! Imagine having your business and livelihood ripped away from you without warning by a group of misinformed minions. That’s what happened to commercial shark fisherman Captain Thomas Osburn. Recently, while conducting a scientific-based research excursion, so-called “enviromentalists” took matters into their own hands thinking they were cutting illegal longlines. Well it turns out that “illegal tackle” was not only perfectly legal, but also sanctioned by NOAA for shark research.  As a follow up to our recent Sharking episode of Connected By Water presented by Joey Accardi Chysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Thomas joins Captain Art Sapp, Captain Patrick Price and Dennis to once again spotlight the issue we are facing. We bring to light some developments and action plans being made to fight the good fight. Watch this episode to get informed on the truth of the situation, what’s being done about it and the battle that lies ahead. To be clear, the goal of the initiative is not to eradicate sharks, but to provide the proper marine balance for fisherman and the ecosystem on the whole.

Having Jim Burgess on the podcast was such a treat. He’s a reel down to earth, old school all-around waterman and Pompano OG local. My favorite kinda guy. He joined us to talk mostly about fly fishing for snook off the beach, but we couldn’t help getting into a little local smack talk. Check it out!

Sharks!!!!! For captains, commercial fisherman and recreational anglers alike they’re becoming a reel problem. It seems like every other fish these days is coming up bitten in half by a creature now commonly known by offshore enthusiasts as the “Tax Man.” What exactly is the rooted reason why this has been such an issue lately? Recently, Captain Patrick Price put together a Facebook group titled “Let’s Tax The Tax Man” which dives into conversations (and sometimes arguments) about others' experiences with their prized catches getting taken away from them. What can be done about it? For certain, it’s a true and hot topic. On this episode of Connected By Water presented by Joey Accardi, we get deep and dirty on how it’s not only affecting angler enjoyment, but also the economics of an entire industry demographic. Regulars and resident experts to the show, Captain Art Sapp and Captain Skip Dana, join us along with Daymaker Charters’, Captain Patrick Price, to round-out an expert panel that picks apart this controversial subject. You don’t want to miss out on this one.

A guy like Mike Lipski is not someone who minces words. He’s a straight shooter, a small business owner and a single dad… oh and he knows a lot about fishing and tackle. His South Florida-based shop, Reel Deal Bait and Tackle reflects Mike perfectly. It’s core, it’s directly to the point and his products and people perform at a high level. Come sit with us for a bit as for a conversation that covered a little bit of everything… except politics. OK maybe just a little politics.
