EP 307: In Pursuit Of The Perfect Inshore Fishing Rod May 11, 2021

Show notes

For the past five years, we've been in pursuit of the best fishing rod for catching our favorite inshore species (redfish, speckled trout, snook, flounder, mangrove snapper, and grouper).

And through those years we've used a TON of different rods (some from big brands like St. Croix, G. Loomis, TFO, Ugly Stik, etc), some from middle sized brands (like Bull Bay) and some from smaller brands.

We've even had quite a few custom rods made.

So listen in as we share where we've been in terms of rods, what blanks we like the best, along with some rod new discoveries we've been testing.

Enjoy!

UNCHURCHED #79 - Today Is The Day After My Death... May 09, 2021

Show notes

I was doing some spring cleaning and came across some of my private notes from the book, Fishing For Happiness. Up at the top of a page I saw, "Today is the day after my death..."

I got a bit emotional reading it as I vividly remember going through the exercise to write my own eulogy.

Buckle in and enjoy this one. It's a hard-hitting episode for sure!

UNCHURCHED #78 - Someone Stabbed Us In The Back. Here's What God Told Me To Do... May 02, 2021

Show notes

We recently discovered that a competitor went behind our back and did something pretty dirty. At first, I was pretty angry. And I'd be lying if the idea of retaliation didn't cross my mind.

But after a day of praying on it, God hit me with a message that was too powerful not to share.

If you get burned by someone or if someone is trying to bring you down to their level, this is meant for you.

Much love,

Joe

EP 303: How To Fish The Weedless Shrimp Rig Around Docks Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

This weedless shrimp rig is deadly around docks (and bridges). Listen in as we go LIVE (uncut) and fish a brand new spot in Tampa Bay where we put this shrimp rig to the test.

Not only does it attract bites from almost everything from grouper to snapper to sheepshead to snook to redfish, but when rigged correctly, it stays completely weedless and lets you fish area with structure with far fewer snags.

This is definitely one of the best (and easiest) ways to get yourself and your friends on a bunch of fish fast.

Enjoy and tight lines!

So in this episode we break down all of the major mistakes that we've made when it comes to buying fishing tackle.

The best news is that all anglers can learn from this.
