Hunter Thayer does lives in a part of the world known for its old boats and its rocks. Specifically, the boat is The Mayflower, and the rock is Plymouth Rock. But Hunter's interest lies more in fishing swimming around the rocks than in old dudes in weird hats with buckles carving numbers into boulders. And he cares about big fish. Big striped fish. Catching them, setting them free, and figuring out how to keep them around for a long, long time. He cares so much that he started his conservation website filled with information about how to catch them, how to release them and how to make yourself a damned good angler. On top of that, he writes for various publications, and he builds his own striper plugs. Hunter is a striped bass Renaissance Man, on a one-person quest to do all he can for our beloved fish.

In this episode we sit down with our friend, Pete Sliwkoski, owner of Larry's Tackle Shop, and Fish Chappy Guide Service. I first met Pete ten years ago on East Beach during the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby. We instantly hit off and had mutual respect for each other's drive and passion for the fish, the island, and for life. I always look forward to sharing the beach and a beer with Pete. Pete has recently taken the lead on being the steward that Chappy needs, he is passionate about beach access and keeping it available for all to enjoy. If you have not been to the Martha's Vineyard yet, you need to, and f you have, you know how great Larry's Tackle Shop is. Thanks for listening! We know you will enjoy this one!

A lot of podcasts, this one included, often get hung up on interviewing those in the "Industry" in this episode we sit down with Joe Webster. Joe is a Maine Native, who is an avid angler, world class fly tier, and artist when it comes to glass blowing.

Joe is on a quest to fish 365 days in a row, and we have no doubt he will get it done. We thoroughly enjoyed our chat with Joe and we believe you will enjoy his stories and insights into all things fishing. Sit back and relax, and enjoy!

In this episode we were lucky enough to sit down with the Commissioner of the Maine Department of Marine Resources, and ASMFC Board Member Pat Keliher. Pat is a lifelong Mainer, who grew up on the banks of the Kennebec River in Gardiner Maine. He is a Registered Maine Guide, and licensed USCG Captain. Pat got his start guiding hunters for upland birds and sea ducks, he then transitioned to chasing trophy Striped Bass on the fly. He guided full time for nearly a decade before he moved into fisheries management, where he headed up the CCA, and then moved into the head of Maine's Atlantic Salmon division. He has been the face of DMR for ten years and says he has "some more years in him". Pat was the Executive chair for ASMFC for two years and still holds a position on the board. Pat is a humble man who is quick to give credit to staff and put the blame on himself if needed. He is truly a great ambassador for the State of Maine and for the fishing community on the east coast.

In this episode we get to sit down with the one and only, NorCalKat, Orlando Campos. OC, is an avid Striped Bass anglers, and master plug builder. He is a family man, and a conservationist. Orlando's meticulous attention to detail has him field testing plugs for months if not years before he sends them out to the public. It is this attention to detail that has widely considered one of the best builders in the country and why he has such a demand and waiting list for his plugs. Orlando has a an infectious attitude when it comes to the love for the Striped Bass. We thoroughly enjoyed getting speak with OC. His story is one you will not want to miss.
