“I just realized how similar our mission is with what you are doing right here,” Leake explains when comparing Chasin' the Sun and Good News Bay. “I know that the two have a lot of things in common, but the mission behind our show is to show people Bay County and Panama City Beach in a good light. You watch the news, there is a lot of other stuff on there that is not great, not happy, not exciting, and you may think it's not the coolest place in the world to live but that's wrong because, let's face it, we've got it going on.” In this episode, Steve sits down with the host of the Chasin' the Sun television series, Justin Leake. They discuss the tight sense of community among Bay County's bait and tackle shops, the minute details of fishing that make the sport interesting, and often a problem-solving experience; as well as what is biting in the Bay and the Gulf during this time of year.Podcast Resources https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqmuuIL0p6E - Winston Chester's Podcasthttps://www.landmarkbooksellers.com/products/full-box-100-years-of-fishing-and-boat-building-history-in-bay-county - Wiston Chester's BookProfessional https://www.visitpanamacitybeach.com/chasin-the-sun-tv/https://panamacityinshore.com/https://www.visitpanamacitybeach.com/https://www.fws.fish/https://www.facebook.com/Hollowbaittackle/https://halfhitch.com/About Dr. Steve TaylorSteve Taylor is the senior pastor at Emerald Coast Fellowship.  Steve and his wife, Christi, live in Panama City, Florida and have two children.  Steve has served at ECF since 2007.  He designed the Good News Podcast specifically to lift and change the conversation...to make it more positive related to our community.  It's his prayer through this podcast we can make Bay County brighter one conversation at a time! Learn more about Steve: https://www.emeraldcoastfellowship.com/our-staff/ Subscribe to the Good News Bay Podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, & YoutubeConnect with Good News Bay Podcast Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwr1Y9C9DUUxEVfV_Ce8AkA Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-news-bay/id1563958015Subscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/38aYHFhFNBBe9gUZv9TUq6?si=b2qyBvxnQ0en1h8cv1C9HQ&nd=1Connect with Dr. Steve TaylorMore about Steve: https://www.emeraldcoastfellowship.com/our-staff/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrSteveTaylorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevetaylorecf
