In this episode, we’re chatting with Capt. Joe Diorio about all things bass and tuna. Joe recaps his 2021 season (it was “ridiculous,” his words). From the rivers in the Spring to the nearshore grounds in the summer, Joe found the fish. Joe also talks about the recent On the Water episode that they shot […]

You ever have a stretch of days during the season where you just feel completely and totally out of the loop? Yeah, that’s where we’re at as we round the bases in August of 2021, the year of our fish. Sure, I’ll contribute my lack of knowledge of recent trends to the fact that I […]

I write to you in a striper-induced fog. Three pre-dawn trips in a row with a sprinkling of some here and there hour long trips after work have left me feeling some type of way. Let’s just say I’m not in mid-season form yet. But that’s okay. Because the stripers are here for real this […]

With the temps suddenly reaching typical summer levels, the big bass are finally beginning to show up. And show up they will. The plan this weekend is to find these larger fish, whatever the cost. Whatever it takes! However much gas we have to burn, we’re going to get it done. A reminder: we’re ramping […]

We’re in the thick of it now, folks. If you’re not living and breathing the spring run chaos, if you’re not reading this through blurry-eyed fatigue on three hours of sleep, if your car isn’t a disaster of sand and mud, rods and reels and flies stuck to every imaginable surface, if your iPhone can […]

My FOMO runs strong this time of year. Every second I’m not fishing is spent thinking about fishing.
