In this episode, Salt Strong co-founder Joe Simonds drops his predictions on what we can all expect to change both in the Salt Strong fishing community and in the fishing world in general.

Today, this podcast is a little different than most of the ones we have done. Today we feature Josh Cash who is from Ireland, and has gone through the process of getting his green card. 

He and I workout together and I seem him a lot. He started to tell me about the process of getting his green card and I found it incredibly fascinating. I'm not doing this podcast for any sort of political reason. It is just something that I found interesting and was honestly a process that I knew nothing about. 

I hope you enjoy this process and learn something about the process of getting a green card and starting a life in America. 

In this episode of How 2 Tuesday I'm going to help you pick a boat for what you want to do. The question of "how do I pick a boat" comes up quite a bit. 

First of all, there are a lot of activities that people love to do on the water, and every boat you choose is a compromise. If you pick a skiff type boat you are not going to be able to go off shore very well. 

A frequent issue that I hear is someone in the Florida Keys who loves to go flats fishing. In this case I ask someone what type of boat they would like for their activity. For instance if all they wanted to do was catch Permit or Bonefish then a skiff would be excellent. 

Then another question is whether you plan to take multiple passengers out fishing as well. Do you want to take your kids out? 

We are excited to bring to you our 2nd episode in our "Women On Ice" series. We will be bringing you episodes featuring the media team of the Woman Ice Angler Project.  Each week we will feature a member of the team. Get to know them and their story of how they became involved in Ice Fishing and this project that promotes all Women Ice Anglers.  

There seems to have been an explosion in the world of Women who enjoy spending time walking on water. The many resources that are now available for female anglers have never been greater. Fishing clubs, gear improvements and increased exposure in the media have all helped fuel this firestorm. 

We are so thrilled to partner with Clam Outdoors in bringing you these episodes. These women are great resources for all Women Anglers and Adventurers. You can hear more about joining the team when they hit the ice on Lake Superior in a few weeks.  Thank you for being a supporter of our show and we hope to bring you some amazing stories in 2019. -Barb Carey

In this first Podcast of OffGrid with Ralph and Vicki, we will take a deeper look into the lives of Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo. We will dive into where they came from, How Ralph got into the archery business, and how they broke ground in the television industry. This in-depth look will show fans more about America’s Favorite Hunting Couple™. And give the fans an intimate look into the people they have seen on their television screens for the last 30+ years.

Todays episode is due to a call from Ben Paige who runs a podcast called Fowl Front. His podcast is a water fowl/duck hunting podcast. He had some ideas about what we could talk about. 

We shared challenges in how we promote something and when there may be too much promotion of a secret spot that it may ruin it. There are cases that you may be fishing with only two other boats and have a great day. Later you go and share the coordinates and the next day there are 14 boats. 

What is your duty to the location to maintain it and what is your duty to the fishing community? Check it out here and look at Fowl Front Podcast as well where this podcast will be published. 

In this How 2 Tuesday episode, I discuss managing expectations for fishing and hunting. As a guide, it is important to set the expectations to my client and letting them know the realistic outcomes for when they’re out on the water. Because there are so many factors that are out of your control, like the weather, it’s best to have little to no expectations.

The strategic thing to do when planning your hunting/fishing trip is to do as much research as you can. Search for the best guide in your desired location, and talk to people who have gone on these trips. Learn when the best time of year it is to hunt/fish for what you want, and always continue to practice whenever you can.

My last piece of advice is to be completely prepared for your upcoming trip. That includes being fit, have boots broken in, everything dialed and set to your exact specifications, etc. Get the opportunity to have everything in your power managed before embarking on your trip, and you will have a better outcome every time.
