People often talk about your physical diet, but I think your mental diet is just as important, meaning what you take into your brain on a daily basis. This can be things like the news, social media, books you read, etc. A few years ago I decided to change up what I was taking in every day, and to try and only make it positive things. I completely stopped following the news, and I try and only follow positive accounts on social media. Do you think that a mental diet would be good for you? Try it ...

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. If you want to try out Salts Gone yourself, head over to https://sa...

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 ...

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 e...

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 te...

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 Bes...

I often get questions about what kind of boat someone should get, so this week we go through that for How 2 Tuesday. The first thing to remember is that every boat is a compromise. There is not a single boat out there that can do everything. But if you decide on what you want to use the boat for most, you can get the perfect hull that accommodates where you want to go. You can get a specialized boat like a skiff that may be perfect for shallow flats fishing, but not the best for open water. You ...
