Podcast D.Friel - Connected by Water

As long time family friends we have Lorelei and Jonah Bennett join the show. This is a special episode for me. I’ve watched both of these individuals grow up in the community and flourish into badass anglers. It’s bittersweet as Connected By Water will be losing its #1 employee, Lorelei. We sit down and discuss all things fishing and pompano as both Lorelei and Jonah will be off to the University of Florida. #ConnectedByWater #Weareallconnectedbywater #PompanoBeach #Waypointtv #sirreelfishingteam #joeyaccardi #TheWsauce #Papaspilar #neveraspectator #EatDrinkBeLocal #EDBL #Finnor #Finnorsunglasses

Lighthouse Point Saltwater Sportsman Association is a long standing fishing club in the area. It wasn’t until recently that this “Gentleman’s club” opened its doors to female anglers. Since then, the club has grown with both members and mindset. On this episode we are joined by Jackie Sabins, Carolyn Stash, Lindsey Tenberg, and Nicole Zapetis. All prominent local anglers. We discuss the club, growth strategy and fun trips on the water. The ladies brought it out of me and plenty of Papa’s Pilar was consumed on Episode 158!
