We were recently down in the Keys (Islamorada) and we had one of those days where it was blowing almost 25 mph, not to mention a slight cold front.

Seagrass has been called "the liver" of the saltwater estuaries. It's critical for so many species to grow and thrive, not to mention, it helps stabilize the sea bottom, provides food and habitat for other marine organisms, and helps maintain water quality. Sadly, the beloved manatee has been caught in the middle of this as manatees eat 100 pounds of seagrass per day (some adult manatees eating as...

The past two years have seen a massive increase in the amount of new anglers and boaters. This also equates into a massive increase in the amount of bad fish handling (although it certainly not just the newer anglers who are making these mistakes). So in this podcast, we highlight the biggest mistakes we continue to see (and even make ourselves sometimes) that are costing fish their life. Tight li...

A shrimp is the most common bait for saltwater fishing ever created. So it's no surprise that a shrimp lure is one of the best lures to catch fish. But one of the problems is that most of the shrimp lures come pre-rigged (not good) which can make them tough to go weedless (which is ideal because fish hold tight to structure). So listen in as we share what we believe is the best shrimp lure rig eve...
