In this podcast I talk about springtime permit fishing on the Florida Keys wrecks and share the best fishing spots for permit from Key Largo to Marathon. 
I also share a few tips as to what you should look for before you buy bait(shrimp, pinfish, pilchards, crabs, mullet) from a South Florida/Florida Keys baitshop tank. 
Also provide non-sponsored recommendation for a baitshop in Homestead, Florida that provides quality live and dead bait. 
Florida Keys Bait-Live Pinfish
Tavernier Creek Marina now has live pinfish on the weekends. These sell out quickly, so stop in on Friday's and get them while they last.

In this joint podcast episode with my wife, Melinda Van Fleet, we dive into overused words and how they can affect your behavior and how you show up.
Some of the words are:
Manifestation Trauma Wellness Gratitude Energy We do a deep dive into manifestation and what that really means in conjunction with putting in the work. Fish don’t magically jump in the boat, I have  worked very hard over the years perfecting my sportfishing skills in The Florida Keys. It took six years before I built a regular client schedule. 
Overnight success does not exist. 
Melinda and I also segway into AI and how telling your story and being authentic will help set you apart from the AI bandwagon of sheep, FOMO, and staying in The Matrix. 
Enjoy the episode and reach out to either of us to connect!
Thanks for listening and sharing.

In this episode, I share how I've significantly enhanced my hook sets using trolling plugs over the past 4 years by integrating Nomad and Halco trolling plugs into a planer bridal setup.
I'm excited to share with you all a method that has revolutionized my hook setting game – particularly when targeting the Florida Keys wahoo when using Nomad and Halco lures. 
This set up will help anyone that target wahoo anywhere in the world that uses Nomads Lures, Halco lures or other trolling plugs. 
Overview:
The number of missed strikes has decreased dramatically when using Nomad trolling plugs. Hook-up ratios have improved, leading to more successful trips. If you are missing wahoo using NOMAD lures or any other trolling plug then give this set up a try.
