The Uni Knot - could be used for up to 99.9% of all fishing situations. There are many knots that may work better for certain situations, but in this podcast I talk about why the Uni Knot can work for anything and is especially simple when dealing with people who haven't fished or with kids. 

In this podcast, we sit down with Rob Fordyce from the tv show The SeaHunter. Rob has been a professional guide, tv host, and athlete for 30 years.

An article on Fishing Tackle Retailer recently came out titled, "Women Are the Future of Fishing, but Retailers Are Missing Out" and it's been making quite the splash on social media. One of the poignant statements made in the article said:

"Recent industry research from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF) shows that 45 percent of all new anglers are women. We’re not talking ICAST booth babes with a snapper on Instagram—we’re talking serious anglers who can head to your local fruit jar tournament and smoke the field."

On this week's episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast, we feature one such up-and-coming female angler. Meet Maddy Ogg. In her young age and relatively short time in the world of fishing, Maddy already has some major accomplishments under her belt. These include being named Women Anglers of Minnesota Angler of the Year and setting the Minnesota State Record for a catch-and-release pike.

We've no doubt this is just the beginning for Maddy! If she keeps up the level of passion and dedication to the sport she's demonstrated, she's going to go far, not just as a female angler but in the world of fishing as a whole. 

Listen in and see for yourself. You can hear it in her voice. So catch the fever and don't be afraid to follow your passion too!

Conversation about old school Fort Lauderdale . Fishing trip with the family and award winning beer!

In episode 5 of OffGrid with Ralph and Vicki, we are discussing planning & and executing an out of state DIY hunt. Having hunted all over the globe, Ralph and Vicki have certainly done their share of DIY public land hunting. Few people have the experience or knowledge they have on this topic. We will look at all aspects of planning and successfully executing an out of state hunt.

This week we talk with Ducks Unlimited's Jerry Holden and we ask ourselves the question "Where are all the Duck's?" and he addresses the way forward for waterfowl and hunters and what DU is doing to preserve waterfowl into the next decades.

In this episode, we have a candid discussion about one of the biggest misconceptions to fishing... the belief that the answer to catching more fish (and becoming a more consistent fisherman) is simply spending more time on the water. Listen in as we discuss what we've discovered after coaching thousands of anglers.

Today I got to sit down with Jessica “Dixie” Mills of Homemade Wanderlust and hear about her story of quitting her job as an engineer to pursue her passion. Jessica has hiked the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, naming her a Triple Crowner. See what is next for Jessica, and read the article about her HERE.
