Catch You Outdoors with Captain Rob Modys

The Songwriters Festival is this week, so we are headed down to the end of the road. I added some fishing talk this week, and hopefully after the Festival I'll get back on the water. I can't wait!

The weather has been great down here in the Keys. A bit windy for fishing, but that makes for solid days by the pool soaking up the sun. The Spring Break push is over, so come on down while it's a bit less busy.

Yes indeed. I not only had the flu and recovered, it was quickly followed up by my first case of Covid. JoNell joined in on the fun too. But we are both feeling better now, and while it was a bit of a setback, we are finally nearing the end of the big move.

I'm back! The tail end of moving is still happening, but I have connectivity once again. A bit about the move, the island, some fishing and some news.

Finally got back to fishing again. And it was great! Thanks for listening.

Yes indeed.. we've had another cold front blow through and now we have brush fires. Fun times down this way. Thanks much for listening!

An interesting week -- attended a huge redfish restocking release, a resort restoration, and continued packing boxes. Also some fishing and boating tips.

Finally got back on the water and away from my packing duties. And -- it was tough! It seems we are rolling into spring which calls for much higher high tides.

Yes, springtime comes early in the Keys. The fish are biting and the tarpon are on the move. Lots of news in this edition, so tune in and thanks for listening.

The weather is here, wish you were too. Some news, some happenings and some fishing tips. Thanks for listening!

A nice surprise! We encountered pink flamingos on the flats in Florida Bay. And... The fishing was fantastic. Also some fishing tactics talk thanks to the recent Saltwater Sportsman's Seminar Series, and some previews of upcoming events here in the Florida Keys.

A lot has happened over the past 10 days. A new job, a new home and some stories to tell. Thanks for tuning in.

News from the Keys including concert schedules, happenings and some fishing reel information. Thanks for listening!

Fishing was "entertaining" this past week. Lots of fish and lots of fog. Also covered several upcoming events and a visit to a new eatery. Thanks for listening!

A continuation from last week's podcast. This time around I cover locations from Marathon south to Key West. Keep in mind, the list includes only the places I have recently visited. Enjoy!

My wife and I love dining out in the Keys and thought I'd do a two-part rundown of all the places we've visited. This is part one, from Key Largo down through Islamorada. Next week I'll follow up with all locations south of Islamorada through Key West. Enjoy!

Hope you all have a wonderful 2025. Thanks so much for listening! This episode has some lessons learned about fishing and there's a past New Year story at the end.

Did a little fly fishing this past week. Also there's an upcoming weather report. There will be a companion FB post on Wednesday and a video on Vimeo and YouTube as well. Enjoy!

Christmas is fast approaching. Time to get that shopping done. Also covered some of my favorite conservation groups and added some tips for winter fly fishing in the Keys.

The wind in the Keys finally let down and I had a great day on the water. Lots of fish, along with manatees, dolphins and migratory birds.

Finally got to see the amazing holiday light displays in the Key West Harbor area! Also some restaurant reports and stops along the Overseas Highway.

Took a trip to Everglades National Park and stayed a couple of nights at the new Flamingo Lodge. It was fantastic. There's a full report, as well as coverage of my local Key Largo fishing and news.

A little bit of this and that. Also a fishing report from a recent trip, and a bunch of event items here in the Keys.

The title says it all. A small window with no wind opened up and I took advantage of it. It was good to be back on the water. Also, some music news, commentary and getting ready for Thanksgiving.

The wind is still blowing and the boat is still on the trailer, so I've decided to just talk about fishing for almost the entire podcast. Enjoy!

Yes, the wind is still blowing, but the weather in the Keys has been absolutely beautiful. Blue skies with lots of sunshine. This week - a restaurant tip, books and fishing with lures for yellowtail snapper.

This weeks title may be a bit misleading. What it really says is that a lot more talking about fishing is happening, instead of actually wetting a line. The weather has been an issue and hopefully will get better soon. Tune in, and thanks for listening. Hopefully I'll be able to add some fishing reports by next week. Fingers crossed!

Yes indeed, a combo podcast because it was a crazy two weeks. Hurricanes, tropical storms, doctors, hospitals and not much fishing. We are all wishing we could go fishing! Hopefully that will happen on next weeks podcast. Thanks for you patience and for listening!

News about how the Keys faired during our brush with Hurricane Helene. Also some fishing news, book news and thought about living near the water during hurricane season.

Welcome to new season #4 of Catch You Outdoors. The structure is gone... freeform is on. This week is about fishing, boating, eating and my new passion for growing red mangrove. Tune in to learn more!

Wow... the last show for season three. Season number four starts next week and there are some changes in the wind! Today's podcast has a lot of fishing, some rigging and some boating tips. Enjoy!

I can't believe that year 3 is almost in the can. This week has some fishing, some boating and more information about the release of my latest songs.

History has been made. This is longest podcast I've recorded. Seriously, I had a lot to say. Lots of local news, local music roundup, a new boating section, some fishing tips, and yes, some Useless Information. Thanks for tuning in!

Lots of information about State Park craziness, new ways to listen to my podcast, so possible changes to slow zones near bridges, and the good, the bad and the ugly about tides. Tune in!

A trip down to Key West for a Stick Figure concert, some fishing and a bit of music recording news.

Florida lobster season is upon us. Get you some! Also some storm news, and where to fish in the Keys without a boat.

A recent offshore fishing trip, the big storm, and I've added a segment about local music and where to go to listen.

Fishing, fly tying, a recap of the lobster mini season and much, much more. Tune in and thanks for listening.

I used to title these episodes "Hodgepodge" because it's a little bit of this and a little bit that. Some fishing, some stories and tips, along with a new place to eat and some new music.

A fantastic fishing trip with a friend I hadn't seen in about four years. We had a blast, and the number of fish caught was pretty epic. Also... still eliminating unwanted stuff in the tackle bag and making a concerted effort to put fly fishing back in my life.

Good week on the water along with a visit from my daughter. Lots of fish caught and lots of restaurants visited. Thanks in advance for listening!

At last! I finally got back on the water not once, but two times this past week. So there's talk about inshore and offshore.

Some fishy talk. Why are the tarpon schools still hanging out in the Keys? Also about boats. What works where. Be sure to bring the right boat for the job.

Starts with the crazy amount of rain we had over the past week, and then some talk about cutting back on the tackle we carry with us on a fishing trip. Enjoy!

Left one island to visit another. Headed up to Pine Island on the southwest Florida coast to do the birthday thing with Mom. Had a lot of fun hanging out at the Tarpon Lodge.

Another short one, but with lots of info and a fishing trip with a friend.

This weeks podcast is rich with fishing. For the first time in LONG time I fished three out of four days! I've also included the usual Florida Keys info, and of course, Useless Information.

This one is unusually short, but full of useful and useless information. See what I did there? Yes, there's fishing and some special events coming up. Thanks in advance for listening.

The wind finally laid down and I got a couple of fishing trips in this past week. Snook, cudas, snapper, trout and jacks kept things interesting.

Back from Key West after attending the annual Songwriters Festival. What a blast! Some fishing tips and a lot about the Festival.

This podcast is all about sandbars. Yes, sandbars. This has become a big event down here in the Keys. Take your boat, or a charter, out to the local sandbar, anchor up and enjoy another beautiful day in the Keys.
