ALL EPISODES

Miles “Sonar” Burghoff, host of Sweetwater TV and a self proclaimed shallow water fishing fanatic came to my podcast studio to talk about the fires in California where he used to live and still has family,. We also talked about his tournament fishing and hosting a TV Show. Miles is super easy going and very friendly - I’ve had him on the podcast before (Pro Bass Fishing) and love hanging out with him and talking.

Born in Florida, Captain David Mangum grew up cultivating his passion for fishing. David guides in the waters where he learned to fish and is well versed in light tackle and offshore fishing. But David has a particular passion for fly fishing. He’s gone to guide in Alaska, Colorado, Texas, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. Because of his experience David offers very specific instructions when stalking, casting and watching a Tarpon eat your fly.

Born an Irishmen, Josh Cash spent the first 19 years of his life in Northern Ireland, and later moved to England for college. After his first year of school, Josh was offered to work at Camp Ozark in the United States for the summer, and continued to work there for three summers straight. Eventually, Josh was offered a job at Camp Ozark as a full-time employee, and moved to the United States under a J-1 visa. This visa is specifically for educational and cultural opportunities, and would expire in 18 months. Having met his soon-to-be wife at Camp Ozark, Josh decided they should marry before his visa access would be declined. Josh and his wife married in March of 2017, and began his application process for Green Card status.

When finding a perfect balance of talking about public lands, I mention Jamie Howard’s film, Location X, as a prime example of filming a secret fishing spot without revealing the location. In my podcasts and television series, my goal is to encourage newcomers into outdoor sports, but in doing so, being respectful to the established hunters/anglers in keeping their favorite spots secret. There is a responsibility not only to the animals that inhabit these areas, but to the people that hunt and fish there as well. 

Raised in Australia, Brandon created a gym for members to have a safe space for those with depression and anxiety. While the gym at first was a rising success, it was closed down due to financial reasons, and the doors closed soon after. As a young entrepreneur, Brandon wasn’t sure what he wanted to do with his life after his failing business and felt hopeless. Brandon started to have panic attacks, and attempted suicide but had a voice inside his head saying he needed to make an impact on the world first.

Hunter always knew he wanted to become a guide since he could remember. Not having a preference to the type of guiding, he enrolled himself in guiding school 36 hours away from home. During school, Hunter learned everything about horses to packing for trips. The second half of his training involved learning about finding coordinates and first aid/CPR training. Once he finished guide school, the class celebrated by camping out for two days and truly putting their skills to the test.

Elliot began his true fishing experience in Alaska at the age of 18 unloading fishing boats and going fishing in his spare time. Later on, Elliot moved to Nantucket as a boating guide, and not making enough money, he lived in his car for a few weeks. Three weeks into being in Nantucket, Elliot was fishing off the beach, and ended up catching a brown shark, pulling it by the tail up onto the beach. After a video of him catching, handling and releasing a shark on Nantucket went viral on social media and then to conventional TV, Elliot found himself on over 80 TV shows and other interviews.
