    Jonathan Moss | Episode 213

    In this episode of Connected By Water, host and renowned fish artist Dennis Friel welcomes Jonathan Moss — seasoned inshore fishing guide and television host of The Captain’s Log. With a career rooted in hookups and storytelling, Jonathan opens up about the realities of making a living in the fishing industry, from running charters to building a successful TV brand. The two dive into the challenges and triumphs of navigating the waters of business while staying true to personal values. Jonathan shares how faith, God, and family remain at the center of everything he does — even as his show takes a major leap forward. Starting this month, The Captain’s Log begins airing on the Discovery Channel, marking a pivotal milestone in Jonathan’s already remarkable journey. From the early days of making music, which would lay the foundation to the grand stage of national television, this conversation explores what it truly means to stay grounded while chasing big dreams. It's a powerful reminder that balance, purpose, and perspective are just as vital as big fish and tight lines. Whether you’re a weekend angler or industry pro, this episode offers authentic insight and inspiration from two men deeply connected by water — and by faith in God. • The Connected By Water Podcast is Fueled by Papa’s Pilar Rum and Protected by Star brite • @connectedbywater @papaspilar @starbrite_com @seawardsystems @partsvu4u @olukai @linkgenie @project_seasafe • #connectedbywater #papaspilar #starbrite #TeamDoGooder #ProjectSeaSafe #olukai #seawardsystems #partsvu #linkgenie #podcast #floridapodcast #IndianRiverLagoon #clams #cleanwater #mangroves #conservation #SaveFlorida #longlivetheeverglades #dfriel #dfrielart Learn more about your ad choices.

    Dave Ferrell | Episode 212 | Star brite's Project SeaSafe Clean Water Collective Series

    In our fifthteenth episode of our very special Connected By Water series, we’re on location at the 2025 4th Annual Star brite Project SeaSafe Clean Water Collective event, held at the Old Fish House Bar & Grill in Grant-Valkaria, Florida. Our next guest is none other than my great friend - famed author, editor and co-host of television’s Florida and Texas Insider Fishing Reports, Dave Ferrell. At this event I got to fish with Dave, hang out and talk about all things IRL conservation and have a great time in the process. Dave’s voice and passionate dedication for conservation has inspired and motivated so many to adapt to a culture of preserving and restoring our natural resources. At this year’s event, the conservation efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. With the help of the local volunteer community and the Project SeaSafe crew, hundreds of new mangrove bombs were made and planted to help rebuild vital coastal habitats, and in a groundbreaking move, four million clams were released into the Indian River via drone, a revolutionary step in ecological restoration. Join us for a look at the incredible work being done, and the people who are making it happen, in this inspiring episode of the Connected By Water Podcast. It’s a celebration of community, conservation, and a collective effort to make a lasting impact on Florida’s waters and wildlife. • The Connected By Water Podcast is Fueled by Papa’s Pilar Rum and Protected by Star brite • @connectedbywater @papaspilar @starbrite_com @seawardsystems @partsvu4u @olukai @linkgenie @project_seasafe • #connectedbywater #papaspilar #starbrite #TeamDoGooder #ProjectSeaSafe #olukai #seawardsystems #partsvu #linkgenie #podcast #floridapodcast #IndianRiverLagoon #clams #cleanwater #mangroves #conservation #SaveFlorida #longlivetheeverglades #dfriel #dfrielart Learn more about your ad choices.
