In this episode, we break down how to increase your numbers. Maybe you have to qualify for an event by hitting a certain number of pushups within a minute, or maybe you just want to build some personal goals for yourself. This program was not created by me, but is a great way to improve those numbers. I used it before SEALFIT Kokoro and again before Goruck Selection to be sure that I could easily complete the published standard for the physical standards. It is hard work but through consistency the numbers will rise. Be sure to check out this episode to hear my step-by-step instructions on how to implement this into your routine. Let me know how you have been improving by texting me at (305) 930-7346

Read MoreWhen I am fishing and shooting Saltwater Experience, one of the hardest things to do is eat consistently healthy. When you’re headed out on the water, it’s way too easy to just grab an unhealthy snack or something that you know will fill you up, but isn’t the best for you. In this episode I break down some tricks that I have found to help me stay consistent with my diet, even out on the water. I go over some key foods that I bring on the boat that are available in most grocery stores without being unhealthy. We also go over things to avoid. I hope that this helps you to make the most of your day on the water, without ruining your diet.

Read MoreI typically have been keeping all of my rigging gear in the leaning post of my Yellowfin 24. Yellowfin created some fantastic storage that was previously wasted so I have organized it well with the 3600 Plano boxes.
This past week we had a few cold days on the water and it helped me to realize that there may be a better solution. Because the area is in the middle of the boat, it is a comfortable place to sit and it is also the only shade on the boat, it is often where everyone wants to be. Additionally, the lean post gets crowded with jackets, sunscreen, and really anything that needs to be set down. This often blocks me from easily getting to my rigging gear or having to ask a guest to move so that I can get to the fluorocarbon, hooks or other tackle.
Plano just came out with the new Edge waterproof boxes. They come in many sizes but the one that is useful in this situation is one that is designed for plastics. It is the same foot print as a 3700 box but it is 7 inches deep. I can store an entire set of Daiwa J-Fluorocarbon, my most used hooks, jigs, terminal tackle and a few lures. I still keep the majority of the tackle in the lean post but I have everything I need in one of these waterproof boxes. I can store this in a forward hatch and easily get to it if the lean post is crowded. At night, I can bring just the box in to work on the rods and get them ready for the next day.
