They delve into personal experiences with Iron Fish Distillery in Michigan and St. Augustine Distillery in Florida, highlighting how these operations represent the soul of American craft whiskey.• Craft distilleries aren't just about size but about commitment to authentic processes, community engagement, and offering immersive visitor experiences• True craft distillers typically own and operate their stills, grow or locally source ingredients, and maintain independence from corporate ownership• Iron Fish Distillery exemplifies farm-based craft production, growing their own rye that becomes part of their distinctive whiskeys• The Mad Angler Manifesto showcases craft creativity with its unique seven-whiskey blend and balanced four-grain profile• St. Augustine Distillery demonstrates how craft operations often preserve historic buildings and create community gathering spaces• Small batch production allows craft distillers to take creative risks impossible for large producers• Regional climate differences create unique aging environments that contribute to distinctly local whiskey profiles• Many of today's craft distilleries could become tomorrow's heritage brands as they gain age and experienceVisit www.scotchiebourbonboys.com for merchandise including t-shirts and Glen Cairns. Check out Bourbon Capital Academy's educational experiences in Bardstown for the perfect introduction to bourbon country.The true essence of craft distilling isn't found in marketing materials—it's written in golden fields of rye, preserved in century-old buildings, and most importantly, created by passionate individuals committed to authentic spirits production. This episode peels back the label to reveal what makes a genuine craft distillery and why these producers represent the soul of American whiskey innovation.Randy "The Whiskey Doc" joins Tiny to explore the distinction between authentic craft distillers and those merely wearing the craft label. Through their personal experiences at Iron Fish Distillery in northern Michigan and St. Augustine Distillery in Florida, they showcase how true craft operations are transforming communities while creating distinctive spirits.Iron Fish exemplifies farm-based distilling, where rye grown on-site becomes part of their whiskey, including their remarkable Mad Angler Manifesto—a seven-whiskey blend that defies convention with nearly equal parts corn, rye, barley, and wheat. Meanwhile, St. Augustine demonstrates how craft distilleries often preserve historical architecture, with their operation housed in a 1907 ice plant saved by twenty local families who banded together to create something meaningful.Beyond the romance lies practical realities that shape craft whiskey. Regional climate differences impact aging conditions, smaller production allows for creative risk-taking impossible at larger scales, and community integration means these distilleries become far more than just production facilities—they're destinations that celebrate local heritage while creating new traditions.Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast curious about the craft movement or someone who appreciates the stories behind your spirits, this conversation offers genuine insight into an industry where authenticity Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

But while Poche's bite was fading, Mrazek's momentum was surging—day by day.We dive into Chad's bold run-and-gun strategy to the Chickahominy River, where he focused on key river bends loaded with laydowns, bluegill beds, and hard spots. Chad breaks down how he used a 6th Sense Flush and 6th Sense Draw glide bait to do most of his damage on.

In this podcast I want to share an article that I truly consider one of the best I've ever read, for so many reasons. It's a classic from the legendary Captain Peter B. Wright, titled "Things You Need to Know About Seabirds." I find myself re-reading it year after year. Peter, who we lost in 2023, was a titan in the fishing world. His articles were always simple, no fluff, straight to the point. He had opinions, yes, but never in an overbearing way that shamed anyone. Why do I keep coming back to Peter's work? Sadly, guys like him really don't exist anymore, or they've stopped sharing their insights because of the drastic shift in today's fishing culture. And honestly, in today's fishing world, it feels like everyone has a shaming opinion or wants to tell you you're doing it wrong. I'll admit, I've been guilty of that myself in the past. But every single day, I work on not doing that anymore. Peter was the exact opposite. He didn't preach; he taught. He didn't shame; he shared. His approach was always about real-world experience, backed by a scientific mind, focused purely on helping you become a better, more responsible angler. That's why I connect so much with his writing: stop shaming people, educate them, and then let them make their own decisions. There's something profound about reconnecting with the past through these articles. It's like you can now hear them speak to you. When you're truly searching to get better in life, in fishing, or in anything, those voices will connect with you. In this incredible article, Peter, with his signature blend of scientific insight and practical wisdom, dives deep into how seabirds are your ultimate fishing guides. He quotes Captain John Bayliss, one of the best in the business. This episode is packed with invaluable knowledge that will change how you look for fish offshore, all through the lens of one of fishing's true gentlemen.

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down how Rick McFaul of Phoenix, Maryland battled brutal conditions to claim victory at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Potomac River, hosted by Charles County Recreation, Parks, and Tourism.With flooding rains, high winds, and debris-choked water threatening to derail his tournament strategy, McFaul was forced to scrap both his Plan A and B. But his Plan C—a small patch of cleaner water on the Virginia side—turned into a game-winning decision. Locking down on a 50-yard grass stretch with his Power-Poles, McFaul ground out a solid bag before making one final, crucial stop in Mattawoman Creek, where he landed two kicker fish over 4 pounds to seal the deal.We break down Rick's strategy, how he adapted to changing conditions, and what anglers can learn from this gritty performance on the Potomac.

This is a collaboration between Your Mountain and Randy Newberg's Hunt/Talk Radio Podcast. On June 24th, the Senate Parlimentarian determined that Senator Lee's piece of the reconciliation bill mandating the sale of 2-3 million acres of public lands violated a procedural rule and stripped it from the overall bill. Not to be dissuated, late on the evening of June 25th, Senator Lee followed through on his promise not to give up. He submitted a revised bill that would mandate selling 612,500-1.225 million acres of BLM lands in the West. Dave, Nephi, and Randy Newberg talk late into the night to break down what's in this revisied version of his land sell off bill, whether it can survive the Parlimentarian review, whether there are enough votes in the Senate to pass it, what the House might do, and what you should do.

Welcome to another episode of Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast In this podcast, I diving deep into The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Tournament Fishing with Advanced Sonar. Love it or hate it, the Omni advanced sonar has taken competitive fishing by storm. It's revolutionized how anglers compete—but not without stirring up a fair share of controversy. The Omni sonar game-changer that levels the playing field or an edge that's reshaping the sport too much? I break it all down, from the incredible advantages to the headaches and heated debates it's sparked among pros and fans alike. Here are three things I covered: 1. Costs- tech and install. 2. Benefits- do you get an edge? 3. Problems within the local fishing communities. Whether you're a diehard tournament angler, a weekend warrior, or just love the conversation around fishing tech, this episode is for you. Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys?

On this jaw-dropping episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by local hammer Shane Crawford, who just made history on the Upper Potomac River! Shane smashed records by winning both the Mid-Atlantic Kayak Bass Fishing Series and the USA BASSIN - Jackson Kayak Trails Maryland Division event with a mind-blowing bag of 100+ inches of smallmouth bass!To put that in perspective — that's an average of 21 inches per fish in his five-fish limit! And get this — he lost two fish that would've pushed him over 105 inches. This kind of bag rivals even the legendary Susquehanna River and would've easily broken the 25-pound mark if not for the post-spawn conditions.In this episode, Shane breaks down exactly how he did it — the patterns, the gear, the strategy — and gives a masterclass in river smallmouth fishing on the Upper Potomac during the June–July transition. If you love smallmouth fishing or want to up your kayak game, this is a must-watch.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Fishing the DMV now has a website: https://www.fishingthedmv.com/ If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com Please checkout our Patreon SponsorsCatoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRodsJake's bait & Tackle website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Jake's bait & Tackle website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manageFishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtipsSupport the show
