Captain Joey Landreneau is a Louisiana native but a Florida transplant for nearly 30 years. Capt. Landreneau was ahead of the curve by being one of the first anglers on Florida’s coast to use satellite imagery before it was even available on the internet.

This 2-part episode is legendary to say the least. Mike Blackwood isn't a name that resonates with many people new to the sport outside of Texas, but like it or not, he's pioneered the notion of conservation on a national level. Aside from being one of the founding members of GCCA (Gulf Coast Conservation Association) which removed gill nets out of TX waters, then other states, which ultimately transformed into CCA, Mr. Blackwood owned the TX Speckled Trout State record for 21 years. In these episodes, he shares not only that incredible catch, but what he had to endure to ensure we had a fishery for the future. Bottom line, anglers from every state owe this man a huge debt of gratitude and we're fortunate that he sat down to share his life's work. Enjoy!

In this episode, I’m joined by an extremely well-accomplished Texas trout fisherman. From winning multiple Legends Saltwater Series Events to the Texas CCA Star, Lee Roy has no shortage of big fish experience under his belt. He not only goes in-depth about Corky’s but how he specializes in throwing a Fatboy Floater for Sightfishing Huge Trout. With a half dozen double-digit fish on his resume, he’s a remarkably humble person and insanely respected across all circles up and down the Texas Coast. Without a doubt this was one of the more informative episodes we’ve done and if you tune in I’m certain you’ll agree. Tight lines and enjoy!

In this episode, I had the pleasure to speak to THE artificial-only trout fishing pioneer in the Northeast Florida complex, Chip Davis. Aside from influencing many of the big trout anglers in that region, he’s been a mentor to so many staples in those fisheries. From 52M’s to Topwater, MirrOdine’s to soft plastics, he shares some of his knowledge about how to fish these baits in heavy current for big water/structure trout! If you love throwing it back and learning about your trout fishing lineage, this episode is a must listen!
