Best fishing podcast

I’m very impressed with Rick’s Florida podcast, the attention to details and realtime feedback and EDUCATION is priceless, amazing how much you learn on one episode

For me living in Phoenix and visiting Stuart Florida several times a year, my planning is now from the podcast

Note: learned to get to be friends with a fishing guide and hang out with him on is day off…….fish-on
