Today we are going to talk about something that every guide has discussions with their clients about. I am even willing to say that this is the single most important thing to success in fly fishing. Believe it or not, I do not believe that your ability to cast is the most important thing in fly fishing for these fish. I say that, because I will see someone who has a really good cast but has a bad skill set in fly line management in a skiff. What does that mean? Full Article HERE. 

Never one to shy away from sharing his passion on the state of hunting. Ralph along with Vicki share how they have seen the hunting industry change through their careers spanning over thirty years. In some ways it is good and other ways, not so good. This episode is a great listen for anyone who hunts and shares the outdoor lifestyle

This week we talk with Brandon from Boss shot shells, and talk about how this company is revolutionizing the shot we use in waterfowling.

Angie Scott recently met up with the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation's Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships Rachel Auslander at Media Day during the 2019 Geico Bassmaster Classic presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods. Rachel was on hand to answer any questions about the Take Me Fishing brand and initiatives, handing out press kits, research and information on the work RBFF is doing to advance fishing and boating participation. RBFF was also there sponsoring the Bassmaster Get Hooked on Fishing Kids area at the Classic.

You may recall back in July Angie chatted with RBFF's Director of Marketing Rachel Piacenza about their new women's initiative called "Making Waves." (Episode 18). On this week's episode, Rachel A. gives us some insight on the 2.0 version of the initiative as well as what RBFF's been up to in their efforts to grow participation in recreational fishing to 60 million in 60 months. Exciting stuff! Help support the cause by sharing about it on social media and more importantly, introducing someone new to the sport!

The first thing I look for in a hotel weight room is the pull-up bar. Now there are 4 tried and true pull up bar workouts that you can try. They are benchmark crossfit workouts named after girls: Cindy, Angie, Candy and Mary. They are benchmarks which means you can look them up and compare yourself to how others are doing on these workouts. Listen to hear how to do them or read about them HERE. 

In this hard-hitting (and emotional) episode, Joe Simonds from Salt Strong shares some of his past struggles with anxiety attacks (aka panic attacks), alcohol, the curse of social media, along with the simple trick that finally ended his anxiety attacks for good. Buckle up as this one is deep.

Captain Bouncer Smith has committed his life to sharing fishing with others through articles, radio shows, seminars, and taking people on his boat, Dusky 33. Bouncer shares stories of how he introduces kids and adults to the excitement of catching bait to catching monster tarpon and marlin. Check out the article on Bouncer HERE. 

Long time Happy Bait Champion Tim O'Conner talks about the mullet run and how to crush giant tarpon.

Tim also talks about his concerns about beach fishing regulations .  

Did you know that Mosquito Lagoon used to be ranked #1 out of the 28 National Registered Lagoons and now it's ranked #28 (LAST PLACE)? What's sad is that most of the destruction has happened in the last 10 years... but it's not too late. In fact, our guest today (Tom Doerr) has found a way to bring millions of seagrass back to into the Lagoon. Please listen (and take action) on this critically important episode.
