A listener asked if I would do this show on how to properly handle fish intended for release.  I was a little hesitant at the time because each fish that we fish for requires a slightly different technique.  I wasn’t sure if I could effectively communicate, through audio only, the proper way to handle fish.  I gave it a whirl anyway and hope it is helpful, if you want to know more please email me and I would be happy to provide any details that were missed in the podcast.

Maintain one more workout station than you have people (2 partners, then keep 3 workout stations). One partner rests while the other does a certain amount of pull-ups or some other exercise. As soon as they finish the other partner will start on push-ups. Rotate through the exercises, resting while your partner is doing their workout and see how many rotations you can do in a certain amount of time. Read the full workout HERE.

The 3 boats I fish from obviously have different anchoring requirements, different types of bottom, different lengths of line, different amounts of chain and even different types of anchors… The one thing that holds true with any of these is that when I put my anchor down I want it to hold, I don’t want it to slip. When I put my anchor down I also want to be able to get off of the anchor and go chase down a fish. Read about the anchor Recipe HERE. 

So now we have finally come to a hotel with a gym that has everything that you need. It has a treadmill, dumbbells, a pull-up bar, a pool and you brought your jump rope. With all of that, you can make up your own workouts but you can also do workouts like The Murph, Three-Rounds-For-Time, 21:15:9 or a combination of pool and running workouts. Read about them HERE.

Dr. Lori Schweikert is a researcher with degrees in Marine Biology from Florida who not only researches fish but is an avid fisherman. Lori gets a lot of inspiration from her experiences on the water and brings that stuff back to the lab. She has been able to apply a lot of her research to her fishing. I found out conversation super interesting about the Hogfish and mostly about the Tarpon. I had so many questions about what the fish could see and how that would help my fishing.

One of the ways that we like to catch Permit on the flats, in the channel and offshore is we like to see them first and then throw over there. Typically you will set up a rod similar to the one you would use on the flats - but offshore the water is deeper and sometimes you can lose the permit to the wreck... How to set up your tackle, read the equipment list HERE. 

We are now at number 9 out of our 10 part series on exercises you can do while you are traveling for work or pleasure. These workouts are ones you can do with minimal equipment and some with no equipment at all, and today we are going to cover jump rope workouts. Whenever I travel I always carry a jelly jump rope that is probably the cheapest jump rope you can get. Read the full article HERE.

With tarpon season in full swing, you have a lot of people out and you might see some people using push-poles to direct the skiff in the direction of the fish and people using them to stake out. Even if you have Power-Poles, there might be some situations where you still need to stake out with a push pole.

Read 6 pool workouts you can do while on vacation or a business trip HERE.
