We went a little outside of our Connected By Water circle to bring on an organization that we think is just out of this world! See what we did there? At first glance you may just see a bunch of cosplayers, but the Everglades 501 Squad goes much deeper than that. Their outreach into the community will make you see these Imperial bad guys as true do-gooders… but don’t say that too loud. You might ruin their “dark side” rep.

“Fishing saved my life” says Taylor DeFusco who comes on to the podcast to share a bit of his journey with us. Every voyage has its moments.

It’s always nice when your guests bring champagne and fancy Jupiter Donuts to make some morning podcast mimosas… but then again that’s kinda how they roll in the Singularis program. It’s a class act all the way and nowhere is that more prevalent than in the persona of front man Captain John Van Dellen. Get ready for a real and lighthearted conversation about everything from fishing, faith, family and surviving even the toughest moments that life can throw at you. Oh, and apparently this guy that is twice the size of me is into Rom-Coms….

2001 National Championship winning University of Miami Hurricane, All-American and former NFL veteran center Brett Romberg paid us a little visit in the studio this week. We busted out the Wings Plus and beer to have a little caveman conversation about art, football and fishing. We also gave a Rona-recap and I was even taught the proper way to eat a chicken wing by the master! Check out Romberg’s radio show everyday from 7-10am on 1210am The Man

The Connected By Water Podcast presented by Joey Accardi Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is BACK!! Who better to sit down with on our first episode back from the Rona than the original Lunkerdog himself, Jeff Maggio. This storied charter captain, and dare I say, community activist has had an accomplished career on the water. But he also has a very popular podcast called the Reel Guy and has recently been a huge voice for the people when it comes to South Florida’s clean water issues. So while we all had to sit home and deal with our own private Corona… well let’s just say it was nice to just sit back and hang out with my buddy, talk some smack and have a few beers.

Join us for this very special LIVE edition of The Connected By Water Podcast presented by Joey Accardi Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We were able to sit down at the after party of the world's greatest billfish tournament, the Jimmy Johnson Quest for the Ring! Filmed and recorded at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino's beautiful and famous new guitar hotel, we sat with some of the winners of the tournament, key sponsors, contributors and even Coach Jimmy Johnson himself!

I love Dave Ferrell. He’s one of the coolest and funniest guys around. As co-host of both Florida and Texas Insider Fishing Report TV shows he’s always bringing us the latest and greatest on what’s biting. But I know better and was able to convince him to bring me the “Top Secret Fishing Report that not everyone else gets to see! This former Sport Fishing and Marlin Magazine editor and Marlin University instructor certainly had some great fishing and traveling stories to share from all corners of the world.
