In this weeks Tales & Tips we talk with Andrew from Australia about Duck Hunting in his neck of the woods and highlight the differences between Australian and North American Waterfowl Hunting.

This week we talk with Travis from Grit Pack "GP" Calls all about Duck Calls and Calling Ducks...and some other stuff.

This week's Tales & Tips focuses on conflict within the realm of public land and other hunters. Hear the story of when I was threatened by force and how I made a lifelong friend.

In this episode, we chat with CCA STAR Director Leiza Fitzgerald about all the upcoming 101 day inshore fishing tournament with over $500,000 of prizes available. We discuss all of the different ways to win, some of the new fish species they have added, along with all of the awesome prizes.

Fishing has a major economic impact on Florida, 10 BILLION DOLLARS a year to be more specific.  Combine other industries that fishing impacts directly and the financial number is stagering.  This has a major economic impact on the United States.  This issue doesn't just impact fishing guides and Captains in South Florida, it impacts Real Estate values, Tourism not associated with fishing (who wants to go to a stinky beach and watch brown waves crash on the sand?) Fishing, Bird Watching, Jet Ski Rentals, Hotels, Restaurants, Bars (although if the water stinks and everyone loses their jobs and their houses are worth 1/3 their previous value, the bars may be the only place doing better than before the problem) and virtually every other business.  I would go so far as to say that the economic impact of not dealing and solving this problem can not be calculated.  Even at $10 Billion dollars a year, this issue impacts every single American.

Daniel explains that we do not have to recreate the wheel to fix this problem.  The solution is already out there...and passed.  The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was passed in 2000 and virtually nothing has been done since.  

Captains For Clean Water is dedicated to making sure that the public is educated and that the policy makers are not allowed to kick the can farther down the road.  

I hope you enjoy this podcast with Daniel and find time to go to www.captainsforcleanwater.org and familiarize yourself with this organization.  Become a member, join their email list, follow on social, buy a hat, watch the videos and become educated on the problems...find a way to support them.  

This week we have my brother, Zach on to discuss the Ethics behind hunting and how you can further unpack your stance and views on the matters. In addition we talk about how to build and better understand your argument to help you portray yourself to non hunters.

In this episode, Luke Simonds and Joe Simonds from Salt Strong discuss snook fishing tips for summer including how to target snook on the grass flats, how to catch snook under docks, how to catch snook on the beach, and what to be looking for during nasty days.

The birth of his second child left Matt Lawson searching for a way to take better care of himself for his family. He wanted something more holistic than the typical workout regimen, something more along the lines of both mind AND body training. He started with the Unbeatable Mind Program and corresponding workouts. The Unbeatable Mind process focuses on being present and aware as as you train your body, and the four pillars of the program are controlling your breath, positive self-talk, visualization, and effective goal setting.

Lawson started SEALFit in May 2013, and by November 2013, he was in a 20X event. This is an intense, 12-hour, nonstop event that will show you you’re capable of 20 times more than you think you can do. This was Lawson’s stepping stone event to the SEALFit Kokoro, which is where he and Rowland’s brotherhood really begins.

Listen in to hear how both Rowland and Lawson have applied the principles of these programs and events to their everyday lives in regard to both family and business. Learn their favorite resources to prepare their bodies and minds for such intense events, what their favorite books and podcasts are, and how getting out of your comfort zone both mentally and physically can impact literally every aspect of your life.
