All saltwater anglers know that nothing is more damaging that the corrosive effects of salt.  Zach McAllister of Salts Gone joins us today to help us understand why salt destroys boating products in the way that it does. There are many products that can kill Salt but sometimes it can be even more damaging than simply leaving the salt on. Zach explains how his product works and why his product is the best way to defend against it.

So many of us do so well when we are at home and on a regular schedule.  Throw in some meetings or kids athletic events or TRAVEL and it is easy to miss a workout.  That miss can turn into 2,3,4 days.  The next thing you know it has been over a week since you worked out and the old habits return.  I do the best by never missing a day.  This doesn’t mean that I always have time for a 2 hour workout.  NO WAY!  However, I try to always get SOMETHING in…even if it is only a 10 minute workout. This week on Physical Friday I go over 6 workouts that you can do in 10 minutes or less. These workouts won’t get you in incredible shape, but they are good to do when you are traveling, or if you have that occasional day where you don’t have time to get a full workout in. These are not meant as everyday workouts, but just as a filler when you need it to maintain fitness and to STAY ON TRACK!  Do you have any workouts to add to this list?

This week we will honor the life and legacy of Capt. Joe Gonzalez who recently passed away by replaying the 2 podcasts that I was fortunate enough to do with him.  Today we will replay the full length interview with Joe recorded from his home in Little Havana surrounded by his family. Joe’s enthusiasm was infectious and his knowledge broad and specific. I was so happy to have him on the podcast because he was on the original short list of legendary fishermen that I wanted to sit down with. Whatever industry you may be in, it is common to hear of the legends. Those people whose name continues to surface in conversations with other customers or competitors. In the inshore fishing business, Capt. Joe Gonzalez is one of those people. Despite working 150 miles away from one another, I heard Joe's name and stories on the regular. His reputation preceded him as a professional who might actually have some Bonefish DNA mixed in with his.  Many have said that Joe knows all the bonefish in Biscayne Bay. This may be true

This week we will honor the life and legacy of Capt. Joe Gonzalez who recently passed away by replaying the 2 podcasts that I was fortunate enough to do with him.  Today we will go over Joe’s preferred bonefish rig.   This episode was recorded in Joe’s home in Little Havana on December 19, 2019 where he and his family kindly invited me in.   The sportfishing industry, Biscayne Bay, the clients, friends and family of Joe Gonzalez lost a great one recently. Thank you for the influence you had over so many of us, Joe. You were one of a kind. Im thankful to have known you and I wish the very best for your family.

We had Mike Larkin on the podcast a few weeks ago to go over a How 2 Tuesday about buying a boat, and Mike also had some questions about fitness. The main question that Mike had, was that as he is getting older, what can he do to stay in shape and healthy enough to do whatever activities and trips that he wants. This is exactly why we have Physical Friday episodes!!!In this episode we go through some good habits with eating, exercise, and stretching that will put you on your way to fishing when you are 95!

Rodrigo Salles is the co-owner of Untamed Angling and CEO of Untamed Angling Brazil operations. Rodrigo has an incredible story about how he was able to establish this incredible fishery in the Amazon.

Rodrigo tells us the whole story in this episode, and this is one that you are not going to want to miss. Recently he caught a World Record Peacock Bass. Check it out on his Instagram @rod_sailes.

With technology constantly advancing, it is important to use it to our advantage when it comes to fishing. In this episode I go over my two favorite tools, Google Earth and Salt Strong. Google Earth can be incredibly helpful for not only finding where to fish, but also understanding why fish are in a certain area. You can then take that information to new spots and narrow down your search for fish. Salt Strong is another incredible tool for becoming a better and more well informed angler. With everything that they provide, you can learn specific techniques, get exclusive insight on fishing zones, and more.

My good friend Mike Larkin was asking me about a big decision he is making soon, and I thought it would make a great How 2 Tuesday. Mike is currently deciding between buying a bay boat or a skiff. In this episode, we go through all of the pros and cons of each, and discuss multiple situations where one would be of benefit over the other. We also go through different sizes of bay boat and weigh the pros and cons of that. Do you have a question for me like Mike did?

We are officially on week 3 of the 10,000 pushup challenge! I was able to wrap mine up in 10 days but I am still participating in what is the most important of the challenge, awareness for Florida’s clean water. In this episode we talk about Senate Bill 2508, what it means for our waters, and what we can do to fight it. We also go over the strategy that I used to knock out all my pushups, by doing 20 every minute on the minute.

This week on How 2 Tuesday we go over the splash-less cast. This can be an excellent technique for landing a shrimp or jig right in front of a fish’s face without spooking them. This does take a LOT of practice though. In this episode I go over the technique and movements that you should be making. I also go over what tackle is best for this situation. Just like a bass angler practices flipping jigs, this is something that you can practice in your pool or canal so make sure that you have this technique dialed in before you try it on a big permit or bonefish! WARNING!! - Some attempts at the splash-less cast result in nuclear-like explosions if not done exactly right. Make sure to practice!

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.

Every fly caster seems to want to cast the longest possible cast. Whether it is actually to catch a fish or to impress your friends at the barbecue, the desire to cast the whole line or deep into the backing is something that many people ask about.  Now, I don’t think that you have to be able to cast far to land lots of fish, but if you practice your distance casting and can have control of your fly line, it will drastically help your line control at shorter distances.  Back in 1998, I won the Best of the West casting competition, casting a standard 5wt fly rod 131 feet. In this episode we go over some secrets and tricks that I use to cast this far. You may notice that much of distance casting isn’t all casting technique but also line preparation.
