On today's show we talk with Capt. Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore out of Panama City, FL. He tells us about hand lining Goliath grouper when they become bothersome over the wrecks he is fishing. It isn't the main topic of the show but he does tell us how he does it, I just couldn't pass on such a catchy episode title. Nonetheless, the fishing in PCB is as hot as ever with the offshore and nearshore wrecks leading the action. Justin explains why the full moon in May is important to the various snapper species and how impacts the wreck fishery. This is another great episode from Capt. Justin packed with tips and local intel.

On today's show we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL. He tells us about an epic day on the water he had recently fishing the beaches. They have done everything from catch monster trout inshore, run the beaches looking for tarpon and big jack crevelle to 40 miles out chasing grouper, mahi & sailfish. It is a time of year where almost any way you chose to fish can be productive, the wind and weather are the real factors that determine how and where you fish. It doesn't get much better than it is right now, time to get out there and see what you can get into!

On today's show we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL. He tells us about the fantastic fishing that is happening right now in Port St Joe & Apalach. Everything is chewing, the wind and the weather are the biggest factors in choosing where you plan to fish this time of year. If you are lucky enough to get out on a "Chamber of Commerce" day then all opportunities are on the table. Be sure to listen for Jordan's advice of where to start. We also get to hear about a once in a lifetime red snapper experience!

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Lionel James of Lion's Tale Adventures out of Destin, FL. & we talk about fly fishing around the Destin area and some of the basics of the fly fishing in salt water. As a followup to last weeks episode about fly fishing at night for speckled trout we talk a little about the setup Lionel uses and the flies that seem to work well under the dock lights as he prepares for another night trip later this evening. Fly fishing can be as complicated or as simple as you want to make it but at the end of the day it adds some new challenges vs fishing with traditional gear & definitely worth exploring if you are looking for a new way to spend time on the water.

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore out of Panama City Beach, FL. We talk about the Spring time bite and it sounds like it is completely transitioned to the Spring patterns. The Cobia numbers are improved so far this year over the previous few years, the Spanish, jack crevelle, redfish & pompano have all taken up their spring time residence on the beach, so if you can get a weather window to check it out, it will be worth the effort this time of year. Inshore the bay fishing has come alive as the trout are starting to spawn as the bait moves back in. All in all, it's a great time of year to get out on the water!

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore out of Panama City Beach, FL.  He tells us about an epic day on the flats doing one of my favorite things, chasing big redfish on the fly.

 It sounds like the fish are turning on as the water temperatures rise. Bait is in the bay and there are a few early Spanish around but by the end of the week the bay should be full of them! We also talk about Cobia and a few of the other migratory fish that move through the area at different times of the year.

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL. We get a chance to catch up and talk about winter time duck hunting, a winter time trip to Marathon, FL to chase Permit with a fly rod and of course, an up to date fishing report for Port St Joe, FL. Its been a long winter but we couldn't be happier to be back to share some tale tails & local fishing reports!

Scotty and Frankie Talk Boat Design, Fishing Filmmaking, Outdoor Adventures, and More!

Frankie Marion is the owner of Xplor Boatworks. Born from an idea for a film project out of a garage in Columbia, South Carolina, Xplor Boatworks was a thing before it was a thing. Frankie wanted to build a boat for a film project called the Xplor Project. He needed a skiff that would allow him to traverse across the vast Louisiana Delta unaided for an entire month. This skiff needed to have enough storage to carry gear for multiple people, be agile enough to get into the deepest pockets of the marsh, and be built well enough to withstand everything the team would throw at it.

The trip was not only a success in that Frankie was able to complete the film project, but also that the boat exceeded expectations. Upon returning to the dock, Frankie had several requests for boats, just like the one he had built for his expedition. Thus, Xplor Boatworks was born.

Bridges are always a good bet but in certain times of the year they can really fire up and it sounds like that is exactly what is happening in Pensacola right now.

Scotty and Rick Talk Florida Saltwater Fly Fishing, Saving the Lagoon, Losing Fish, and More!

The Indian River Lagoon is an amazing shallow-water fishery where sight fishing for redfish, speckled trout, tarpon, snook, and many more species reigns supreme.

The Indian River Lagoon is located less than an hour east of Orlando along Florida’s Space Coast and is one of the world's most biodiverse saltwater estuary systems. This is central Florida’s premier fishing destination.

Lionel tells us about his experience there, we also talk a little about the new show he is putting together and the "business" side of the outdoor industry. Lionel gives us a full fishing report as well. It sounds like the beaches are still a good place to find fish along with the usual near shore wrecks & the early morning shallow water stuff. There's still plenty of fish to catch, you just have to be willing to sweat to do it.

In episode 21 we discuss our love for the Silver Trevally. As a heavily underestimated fish, we talk about the science behind them, how we fish for them including lures and flies, what to look out for so you can find them and of course, how to cook them. They fight hard, taste great and eat so many different presentations. I don't know how you wouldn't love them.
