The Empty Stringers Podcast

Slow down fellas. You're moving too fast. You can go a good bit without seeing any fish and then bam, 15-20 reds in a small area. It's easy to blow them out, so you have to move slow and see these fish from a distance to keep from spooking them.

It's colder than an ex-wife's shoulder out there. This week we talk about horizontal and vertical thermoclines and discuss the mentality behind bait selection.

I tried to tell y'all last week what to do when the tide fell out. I hope you listened. I went out and tested that theory and had a great day on the water. Listen in to recap the secrets you can use next time we have a big water fall out.

Back to normal this week with me rambling about spraining my ankle on the ski slopes, winter low water fall out and what that means for the redfish, how to perform your motor break in service, and a hack for looking at multiple NOAA stations on your phone's home screen. Tune in and tell a friend!

Sat down with Capt. Kyle Smith this week to talk Kayak fishing, winter patterns and preparation for guided trips.

We talk all about how the last cold front affected the fishing. We discuss skiff design, hull slap, jig heads, and whether or not you should use a leader around oyster.

I'm joined by one of my 18 year old sons this episode. We talk about the shift in redfish feeding patterns that focus more on mullet than shrimp. We also get a little off the rails LOL.

Kinda all over the map today. I recap a trip from this morning, rant about the lunatics on social media fishing pages, and discuss why fish limits are a good thing, but still may not be enough.

Fumbled my way through the beginning of what turned out to be a great trip last week. Let's dive in and discuss what I saw from the poling platform.

This week I sit down with Cam Cooper to discuss the launch of his guide business and how his journey has gone thus far.
