Misguided Fishing

Dave is out of the country again so the DrumBum joins us to talk fisheries management, making tackle, and whatever else is on his mind.  One of the funniest people I know, we are glad to have him back to.  If anybody has the finger on the pulse of OBX fishing it is him.

Dave of Salt Minded has decided to come back from touring the world and finding himself. Along with Capt Jack and myself, we are now a three man clownfest. In this episode Jack explains to us about 360 sonar, Dave vents about ribbonfish, and I try to keep it on track. TW's of Nags Head has graciously agreed to come on board as a Misguided Fishing Podcast. In this episode they will be giving a...

Misguided Fishing's guest this episode is Travis Kemp, aka NC Travis, aka TW's Bait and Tackle's Business Development Manager.  We start off reveling in Jack's ignorance regarding "the bass" and go from there to learn about beach fishing for big Red Drum, rod making, upcoming all inclusive fishing tournaments and the sub tourneys that are built inside them.  Travis gu...

In this episode of the misguided fishing podcast I try to let Capt Jack have a little more responsibility.  Since it is just Jack and I, Capt Donnie D of DOA Fishing Charters, I thought he could handle it.  We tell some stories, talk a little about fishing, have a technical issue as usual, and I don't beat down his fishing too much. He has a ways to go but he is coming along nicely.  Kind of...

We talk more fishing, an uncomfortably embarrassing story, and a pretty freakin' cool giveaway. Gary is the CEO of the Fisherman's Post.  The guy has done a lot in 20 years of his multimedia campaign. Print journalism, digital copies, tournament host, fishing schools, podcaster, etc. We, at Misguided Fishing feel fortunate to bring Gary down to our sophomoric level. The giveaway this wee...

Gary Hurley of the Fisherman's Post is a busy dude.  He started, in 2003, a free weekly paper for fishermen by fishermen.  Since then he has added fishing schools, paid fishing reports, fishing tournaments, and a podcast.  All while continuing to teach at his local college and still fish a bunch.  Always interesting and busy, Gary is an everyman for this century. Stuff we use: camcorder: http...

Capt Jack joins as cohost on this latest episode of Misguided Fishing.  Capt Dave is out of the country on a top secret diplomatic mission to save the world.  Jack and Donnie discuss simpler matters such as why inshore fishing is far superior to offshore fishing, why last show's give away still hasn't been shipped, and Donnie tries to pry some offshore gossip out of Jack. Gear I use: cam...

If you are the first person to answer correctly, What are the most Big Reds Bud has caught on a trip while fishing the Western Pamlico you get all of the ZMAN goodness shown on this podcast!!!!  Answer in the comments on the You Tube page or on the Misguided Fishing's IG page. Capt Bud Bishop has come back after last year's bowel issues.  Bud takes our harassment and still gives us no us...

Our guest for Ep 18 is Keith Tongier, aka The Drum Bum,  of TW's Tackle in Kitty Hawk, NC. The Drum Bum is one of the most knowledgeable guys we know when it comes to fishing.  He always has his finger on the pulse of what is biting and where.  What we did not know is that Keith is also one of the funniest guys we know.  You will have to forgive the editing in this one.  We were slapping the...

We try.  We really do try.  We thought it would be a breeze putting up a podcast.  It isn't. Not even close to being easy.  Two guys with families, other jobs, and both who fish over 200 trips a year.  Well, the good thing is we really enjoy doing them when we get a chance.  In this episode we talk about Dave's tournament win and his big sailfish he caught while flounder fishing.  All in...

Dave and I usually try to keep our episode's length between 20 and 30 minutes.  Capt Bryan Dehart was having none of that.  This is part 2 of Dehart telling stories.  I was able to get the whole podcast edited down to 1hr and 17 min split between episodes.  When Bryan talks you definitely get your money's worth. - - Stuff we use to make these things: camcorder: https://amzn.to/2Om0J1u ds...

There are a handful of guys Dave and I agreed we had to get on this podcast to build a base because they have been doing the fishing gig so long they bring immediate credibility whenever they speak.  Capt Bryan is one of those guests that was placed in the "gotta have" category.  Bryan has probably forgotten more than Dave and I know about inshore fishing.  Bryan has forgotten so much he...

Capt Bud Bishop is what is known as a "Guide's Guide."  Some guys just have a natural aptitude for finding and catching.  Bud is one of these.  In this episode Bud lays out for us his rotation of locations that he guides at throughout the year; making him one of the few full time watermen.  Bud also drops the bomb on me as to what he did before he went full time.  I would never have...

Ep 14 focuses on the almost non existent cobia fishing season we had on the OBX of North Carolina.  For months we get excited and prepared for this and then it more or less doesn't happen.  But, as a guide we can't sit back and make excuses and not go.  We still have to catch and put our clients on fish.  Somedays it is easier said than done. This weeks giveaway:  The weight of Dave&apos...

Misguided Fishing welcomes Capts Dave Sybert and Quentin Turko of Vicarious Charters. These two capts have found a niche that until recently had not been explored commercially on the Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina.   Vicarious Charters specializes in spearfishing charters primarily as well as the traditional hook and line guided experience.  These two guides have varying backgrounds from a...

We had a great guest: 13 yr old Brown Gaddy.  The young man has most likely caught more billfish than Dave and I combined.  He, and his twin brother Charles, are tournament tested and not only participants but winners. Unfortunately, this is one of those that is probably better suited for audio rather than video. Upon editing I found our SD card was corrupted and only recorded 2:40 of video.  The...

In episode 11 Dave and Donnie discuss what it takes for your business to grow organically in a competitive charter fishing industry.  The discussion centers on the audio visual aspect of the business and the hustle it requires to get ahead.  Of course, there are a couple of stories thrown in as well.  One of which shows how to start the day with two boats and end the day with none. Special thanks...

Capt Jack Graham joins the misguided duo and talks about starting his career mating in the cockpit of an inshore boat trolling for bluefish and quickly progressing to realm of a big game marlin fisherman in exotic locales. Jack now has taken the helm of an offshore vessel fishing out of Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. You can find Jack at www.afishionadocharters.com If interested in the technical eq...

The Misguided Duo take time out of their busy winter schedule to sit down and give you 30+ minutes of cobia juicy juice.  No ads! No pandering! Just the Real Deal Holyfield golden cobia nuggets of information that you want and need to know. #fishing #cobiafishing #sightfishing #podcast #obx #oregon inlet #saltminded #doacharters

The misguided duo give a season wrap up, try to make up for the guest cancellation and talk about a few first world problems on the boat the sort of irk them.

The Misguided duo discusses speckled trout techniques and inshore redfish tactics.  There is also a story told about guys taking the long way home

This week the misguided crew talk to Daniel B.  Daniel, an Outer Banks native got his first job guiding in Alaska.  Daniel talks about his experience there, his future plans to launch his own business next summer, and what its like to get your curtains knocked out crossing the bar at Oregon Inlet.

The Misguided crew welcomes Capt Lee Johnson to the show.  Lee is a skilled craftsman who, instead of buying a factory boat and settling, decided he would build his own custom rig.  Donnie has a hard time understanding how a boat floats much less how somebody builds one.

Capt Sarah drops flyfishing knowledge on a couple of misguided noobs.  Not to let off easy; we get Sarah to explain to us how not to load a boat onto a trailer. Also, Donnie D talks about big guns, small cash and black suburbans.

The misguided guides discuss the hardware needed to be in the fishing business.  At some point they run out of things to say and just start winging it.
