ALL EPISODES

Dr. Jennifer Rehage and Carissa Gervasi are back on the podcast to give us an update on what they have found during their study of the Jack Crevalle. They have tagged a number of fish and have found that some migrate all the way from the Florida Keys to Louisiana. In this episode we talk about what could be causing these migrations and what we could learn from future studies. Be sure to follow @fiu_fisheries_lab on Instagram to keep up with their research.

Toby Hansen joined me on the podcast this week. Toby grew up in a commercial fishing family and became a mate for a private boat. We met when his boss booked me for a fishing trip in the Keys. His Boss got busy as Bosses sometimes do and did not make that trip so me and Toby got to spend the day fishing and we have been friends ever since. We catch up and talk about the journey to today.

This one has some incredible advice for young people who want to make a living fishing.

Sam Milazzo joins the podcast this week to talk all things fishing in the Keys. Sam was the captain of the boat that broke the Keys sailfish record, with 76 landed in one day. We talk about that, along with Sam’s other guiding experience and more. Sam is also an amazing artist, and we talk about how he got his start.

Legendary fly designer and fishing guide Blane Chocklett joins me on the podcast today to talk all things muskie fishing, fly design, and more. Blane is famously known for many of his fly patterns including the creation and development of the Game Changer.

My old friend Paul Tejera joins the podcast this week to talk about his guiding career, and to catch up.

Paul is a legendary Florida Keys Guide and someone who I paid very close attention to as I started my tournament career. With not only a remarkable tournament resume including Guide to the grand champion in the Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament and Poor Boys Tarpon Tournament on four occasions. He has also been guide to the grand champion angler in the Gold Cup and Don Hawley Tarpon Tournaments, the Spring Fly Bonefish Tournament, Redbone Celebrity Tournament, Spring All-Tackle Bonefish Tournament and a Best of the West Fly Casting Champion. We share the title of the Best of the West Fly Casting and discussed how saltwater techniques can work well with a 5 weight rod.

Paul did all of this with a big smile on his face throughout his tournament and guiding career. This is what I paid attention to. Tournaments for me were full of anxiety, nerves, strategy and I could never get away from having my game face on months before and throughout a tournament. Paul managed to not only win but to do it with a smile, a laugh and all while having a good time. I wanted to emulate that.

We talk about having to fire clients, transitioning into a second career, picking up Tennis after a long layoff and becoming one of the best players in his age group in the very competitive State of Florida. Being active and being a good tennis player in your 50s does not come easy so we talk fitness, stretching and longevity in the fishing game as well.
