Podcasts about Chesapeake Bay

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Bucky Osborne, creator of the popular YouTube channel Tri Waves Fishing. Born and raised in Chesapeake, Virginia, Bucky has spent his life exploring the Chesapeake Bay and sharing his fishing adventures online. His channel dives into everything from inshore and offshore saltwater action to freshwater excursions—and even some custom boat builds.In this episode, Bucky gives us a full in-depth fall Chesapeake Bay fishing report. We break down which fish species are heating up this season, how the Bay is fishing overall, and what anglers can expect heading into fall. We also dive into the upcoming Speckled Trout Tournament Bucky is hosting later this year, and he shares his insights on what makes the Chesapeake such a unique and special fishery.Whether you're a fan of saltwater fishing, boat life, or just love the Chesapeake Bay, this is an episode you don't want to miss!Please help 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.comTRI WAVES FISHING on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@triwaves757/videos Bucky Osborne on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/garrett.b.osborne Link Bucky's to Speckled Trout Tournament: https://qrto.org/4Fetvn?fbclid=IwY2xjawMqcxFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF4dGFjVHRMNndoZzhEcnh4AR7EcFZdD5BdMjkij41-VYc9uVrh_1uK_gSa8P4YuUMXccOQR8sJncytA9tpjw_aem_tlsQYOYIaKgI1QaD27OeOQ Bucky Osborne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bucky_osborne?igsh=enR2c2l6bGJybmUy  Please checkout our Patreon Sponsors Jake's bait & Tackle website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaitsCatoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRodsFishing the DMV Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link #fishingreport #fishingtheDMV #ChesapeakeBaySupport the show

Osprey are a sentinel species. Scientists look to them for warnings of problems in the environment that could harm other species including us. This summer, scientists concerned with a continuing decline of osprey chicks in the Chesapeake Bay are crunching data from Maryland to Virginia to try to pinpoint why. Pamela D'Angelo reports.

On this exciting episode, I'm joined by Andrew Blair, owner of Tactical Fishing Company. Snakehead fishing has exploded in popularity across the Mid-Atlantic, fueled by federal funding for invasive species programs in Maryland and Virginia and a huge push encouraging anglers to remove snakehead from our waters. But alongside that, an equally passionate community of anglers has emerged dedicated not just to catching snakehead, but also to celebrating and advocating for their protecting this unique species!! Andrew and I dive into what makes the snakehead fishing culture so unique, from the controversy around their presence to the thrill of targeting these hard-fighting fish. Andrew also shares his personal journey—transitioning from service in the U.S. Army, to becoming a kayakangler, and ultimately founding Tactical Fishing Company.If you've ever been curious about the culture, controversy, and passion behind snakehead fishing, this is an episode you won't want to miss!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 Andrew Blair Fishing on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@andrewblairfishing Tactical Fishing Company Website: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Andrew Blair Fishing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/19m5uHDVTh/?mibextid=wwXIfrAndrew Blair on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewblairfishing?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Andrew Blair Fishing on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrew.blair_fishing/ Tactical Fishing Company TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@tactical.fishing.company Tactical Fishing Company Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/tactical_fishing_company Tactical Fishing Company on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TacticalFishingCompany/?ref=_xav_ig_profile_page_web#  Please checkout our Patreon Sponsors Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods Jake's bait & Tackle website:                         http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtipsSupport the show

Feeding hay to livestock in the winter is very expensive, and often results in a sacrifice lot where manure gathers. At the same time, manure is considered gold because of its nutrient content, ability to supply organic matter, and to build soil life. In this second episode, Dr. Summer Thomas, education and outreach specialist with the Virginia Soil Health Coalition, takes us on a deeper dive into her research on the benefits of round bale grazing and how it pertains to the four core soil health principlesSummer explains how livestock and round bale grazing are land and soil health management tools for reducing machinery costs, better distributing manure and essential nutrients across pastureland, and truly energizing the system with biodiversity. Overall, round bale grazing is a sound management practice that leads to healthy soils, healthy plants, and healthy animals. As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.More details about the Virginia Farm-to-Table Harvest Celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at On Sunny Slope Farm in Rockingham, Virginia, can be found at https://virginiafarmtotable.org/2025vaf2tharvestcelebration/To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

STORY OF AMERICA — In 1607, after many years of unsuccessful American settlements, the English founded the colony of Jamestown in Virginia. Eastern Virginia is called ‘Tidewater’ because the rivers moved to the rhythm of the ocean before they finally merge with Chesapeake Bay. The area between the James and York rivers is known simply as "the peninsula," and it is here that our story unfolds. The entire peninsula is rich in history. The mouth of the James River aligns directly with the entrance to Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. As Virginia's longest river, the James enabled the early settlers to explore far inland in search of the fable passage to the wealth of China. Exploration lead to settlement, and so the lands along the James River were the first to be colonized.

Today on the PBL Simplified for Administrators podcast we have Ashley Curtin. Ashley is a district coach in Calvert County Maryland working with PBL teachers. The PBL initiative started in social studies to increase engagement and has spread across the district. Ashley is now under Career Technical Education (CTE) funding and is building relationships with CTE instructors. She connects teachers and suggests collaborations. A key to her approach is meeting people where they are at with their mindset and comfort level with PBL. PBL Unit Examples Eighth Grade Science & Culinary Arts: An eighth-grade science teacher developed a project about invasive species, initially thinking about a cookbook. The project shifted to educating the public about invasive fish in the Chesapeake Bay and Puxon River. Students created posters, social media posts, and websites with QR codes to educate the community. Culinary program seniors developed recipes for invasive fish, which were judged in a "Chopped" style competition. The eighth graders then featured these recipes on their websites and in their outreach materials. The project culminated in presentations to community partners, including the Department of Agriculture and local restaurant owners. Third Grade Storybook Project: A third-grade team created storybooks about different regions of the United States. The project integrated science, social studies, and ELA standards. Students recorded themselves reading the books, which were accessed via QR codes in the front covers. They sold the books to families, and the project culminated in an author signing event with over 150 attendees. Roses, Buds, and Thorns Rose (What's going well): The shift to CTE funding is a big win. CTE programs already have authenticity, so the focus is on infusing pedagogical practices and PBL structures. Bud (Promising practices): PBL is now a strategic goal for the district. There is work with math instructors, and an effort to reimagine education with PBL. The adaptability of the PBL framework is allowing it to take shape in different ways. Thorn (Challenges): Ashley's capacity to support the growing PBL movement is limited. There is a need to convince more decision-makers to invest in PBL and create core leadership positions. Some teachers who signed up for training are reluctant to fully embrace the PBL mindset and implementation. Ashley wants to encourage these teachers without making them feel like they are being dragged along. Addressing the Challenges (Thorns) Capacity: The need for more resources and core leaders in buildings and across grade levels/content areas is a significant challenge. Hesitant Teachers: Invite teachers to observe successful PBL classrooms. Invite teachers to participate in tuning protocols. Provide opportunities for collaborative support and reflection. Share a PBL newsletter to highlight best practices and provide resources. Highlight teachers and their work in a positive way in order to give them affirmation. Getting Administrative Buy-In Track data like student engagement, attendance, and discipline to show the impact of PBL. Share positive stories from PBL classrooms with principals to improve community perception of the school. Promote the idea of training coaches to implement PBL in individual schools. Highlight that educators can learn from their own colleagues and don't necessarily need to travel to conferences. Optimism about Education PBL is re-engaging teachers and showing them the power of their work. It shifts teachers' views of students, moving away from negative assumptions. PBL has the power to transform education and engage students long after the project is over. Conclusion Ashley is bringing hope and joy to the teaching profession through PBL. The podcast encourages teachers to rate and review the show. PBL is helping teachers teach the way they have always wanted to teach.

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by Dave Miller to dive into one of the most heated conservation debates facing our waters today overspray of herbicides in our local bodies of water. We tackle a hot-button issue shaking up the fishing and conservation community: The decision to use diquat dibromide—a federally approved herbicide that's banned in the European Union—to combat the spread of subaquatic grass has sparked serious concerns. Critics warn it is creating ecological disasters, killing fish in lakes, making people sick, and even causing the deaths of pets.A recent opinion piece slammed the move as reckless and undemocratic, arguing that spraying chemicals into public waterways risks fish kills, long-term ecological damage, and public health concerns. Critics point out the decision was made quietly by federal and state agencies, without town halls, public consent, or community input, raising serious questions about accountability.Even more concerning, this is part of a pilot program that could expand to other states if considered successful—potentially setting a precedent for how invasive species are managed nationwide. Meanwhile, alternatives such as mechanical removal and less toxic treatments have largely been overlooked. Parkinsonism relating to intoxication with glyphosate: a case Report: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331317400_Parkinsonism_relating_to_intoxication_with_glyphosate_A_case_report Glyphosate Exposure Associated with Human Neurodegenerative Disorders: A Scoping Review: https://www.scirp.org/pdf/jbbs2024147_13901129.pdf  Dave Miller on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davemillerfishing/  Dave Miller website: https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdavemillerfishing.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DPAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAac_PqZE74JW2U5Z9QT-9AYXPlXuE6r27JeCwxi9v9kmocBrI4uey8nBtxt3zg_aem_hNSsX_SsybYNLI_1YxKSxA&e=AT1zGSItFBqz8Z_S0JFJAevn7rC_vd2PhDiWQrjiVx7CpMcHulAEHn1oCSl1zURX5EqR3B3COPIDXQGGRKM5Xcl5xD2A0qlIGwBbng  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 Sponsors Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods Jake'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: Support the show

Everything good starts with the soil and a conservation stewardship mindset. In the 101st episode, Dr. Summer Thomas, education and outreach specialist with the Virginia Soil Health Coalition, explains how agriculture and soil health are good for everyone. As a third-generation farmer from Delaware, former watermelon queen, a trained soil scientist and educator, and an overall advocate for agriculture, Summer shares some of her earliest experiences of 4-H and FFA with Jeff, Mary, and Eric in public speaking, youth education, and land stewardship.These early education and outreach experiences were a launch point for her passion for agriculture and career pursuit. Summer emphasizes that soil health and agriculture provide many positive community connections and must be fun for the next generation of farmers. Additionally, soil health is foundational to resilient farm businesses and systems.   As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.Yes, soil health is a great conversation starter. We encourage everyone to have a five-minute conversation about soil every day because we can all be 4 The Soil and for the future!  To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by Brian Collins, an Eastern Shore native and administrator of the Facebook group Menhaden – Little Fish, Big Deal!. Together, we tackle one of the Chesapeake Bay's most pressing and controversial topics: the fight over menhaden.Often called “the most important fish in the sea,” menhaden are vital to the Bay's ecosystem—filtering water and serving as a primary food source for striped bass, osprey, bluefish, and countless other species. But menhaden are also the target of one of the largest industrial fisheries on the East Coast, with millions harvested each year and processed into fish oil and animal feed.Brian and I dig into the clash between the billion dollar Omega Protein corporation, and conservation advocates who warn that removing too many menhaden is weakening the striped bass population and destabilizing the Bay's food web. From quota battles and Bay-specific harvest caps to the rise of ecosystem-based management, we unpack the science, politics, and passion fueling this long-standing conflict.If you care about the future of striped bass, the health of the Chesapeake Bay, or just want to understand how one small fish can spark such a big fight—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Menhaden-Little Fish, Big Deal Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/765772041406313 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 Sponsors Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods Jake'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_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtips Support the show

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we revisit an old old episode and head back to the Chesapeake Bay. Specifically, the Virginia portion of Chesapeake Bay with Chris Moore. Chris previously served as the Senior Regional Ecosystem Scientist at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) and has assumed the role of Executive Director at the CBF Virginia office. Mr. Moore played a pivotal role in establishing sustainable fisheries for striped bass, Atlantic menhaden, and blue crabs, while also contributing to oyster policy and restoration endeavors. Additionally, Moore's advocacy efforts with elected officials at local, state, and federal levels have been instrumental in influencing legislative decisions crucial for enhancing the health of the Bay watershed.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!!     Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comHere is CBF new oyster focused report titled “Hope on the Half Shell” https://cbf.org/document-library/cbf-reports/2024-oyster-report.pdf Here is the latest version of the CBF's State of the Bay Report: https://www.cbf.org/document-library/cbf-reports/2022-state-of-the-bay-report.pdf   Here is the link to the Final Report of the Sustainable Fisheries Goal Implementation Team Invasive Catfish Task Force: https://d18lev1ok5leia.cloudfront.net/chesapeakebay/documents/Updated_2014_ICTF_Report.pdf Link to Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) website: https://www.cbf.org/?_gl=1*1vhodis*_ga*MTI3MjYyODE3NS4xNzA5NTA0NTQ4*_ga_LZKG7DYJLG*MTcwOTUwNDU0Ny4xLjEuMTcwOTUwNTE1NC4wLjAuMA..&_ga=2.144343537.514175205.1709504548-1272628175.1709504548&_gac=1.179938902.1709505155.CjwKCAiA3JCvBhA8EiwA4kujZs9HZqnmKa6H7aR4ByrHH_2-C4wcS9xDuFFO6QD9axPLsnpn4LPw5BoCTekQAvD_BwE Please Checkout our Patreon Sponsors Jake's bait & Tackle website:               http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods  Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Fishing the DMV Facebook page:             https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page:             https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_linkSupport the show

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile brings us three stories of cryptid monsters around the area of our nation's capitol. Does a nessielike serpent lurk in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay? How about a grotesque, inhuman monster stalking the tunnels of the DC metro train stations? If that's not enough for you, what about an ominous, demonic cat-spirit with glowing red eyes? All this and much more!

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down the 2025 fish sampling survey results for Virginia's Upper James River with Hunter Hatcher with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.The James River—Virginia's largest—begins where the Cowpasture and Jackson Rivers meet in Botetourt County and winds through the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains before flowing past Lynchburg, Richmond, and into the Chesapeake Bay. Today, we're focusing on the non-tidal Upper James, a stunning 90-mile stretch from its mountain headwaters to the 14th Street Bridge in Richmond—famous for its world-class smallmouth bass fishery.In this episode, we cover:·       Smallmouth Bass Update – 2024 electrofishing surveys show increased catch rates and strong year classes from 2021 and 2023. Over 1,500 bass were sampled in fall 2024, with 60% at “catchable size” (7”+), and 20% topping 14 inches.·        Spawning Trends – Above-average spawns in 3 of the last 4 years point to solid fishing opportunities in the coming seasons, but consistent spawning is key to reaching the abundance levels anglers remember.·       Fishing Tips – Where to find less-pressured stretches of river for trophy smallmouth action.Link to the James River Biologist Report down below: https://dwr.virginia.gov/fishing/forecasts-and-reports/non-tidal-river-fishing-forecast/ Department of wildlife resources: https://dwr.virginia.gov/fishing/fish-stocking/state-hatcheries/front-royal-fish-cultural-station/Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!!

The district received a grant through Virginia's new Pay-For-Outcomes program to cut Chesapeake Bay pollution.

I got the idea for this episode talking to a bartender in Prague. The place was empty, and the fellow was garrulous and quickly said he loved American history, which naturally prompted me to suggest a podcast where he could find some. The barkeep called my bluff – “did I know who Augustine Herrman was?” Uh, noooo. It turns out he was a Bohemian – now we would say Czech – from Prague who became one of the wealthiest and most influential men in mid-17th century English and Dutch America, particularly in New Netherland and Maryland. He would live and trade in the early colonies for more than 40 years before his death in Maryland in 1686, and such diverse characters as Pieter Stuyvesant and Lord Baltimore would rely on him for their most sensitive diplomatic matters. Most famously, Herrman would draw the most detailed map of the Chesapeake Bay, at a time when maps were evidence in the settling of disputes between empires. Hermann's map would, among other things, determine the border between Virginia and Maryland on the Eastern Shore, and – through twists and turns – play a role in the establishment of the colony of Delaware. The Czechs are understandably proud of Augustine Herrman, so in gratitude to that bartender and his surprising knowledge of 17th century America, this episode is about Herrman, through the story of his map.

My guest this week is Scott Barmby [35:56], director of the Orvis Chesapeake Fly Fishing Schools, who educates us on threats to the Bay's population of striped bass, and also the many fly-fishing opportunities in the Bay. It's a vast ecosystem that I didn't know much about, so it was interesting to me and I am sure it will be to you. I think you'll learn some surprising things about this national treasure.   In the Fly Box this week, we have lots of comments and tips from listeners as well as questions, including: A listener reminds people of the importance of making your presence known on the river A listener gives some other tips for night fishing for trout and smallmouth bass. A listener reminds us that catch-and-release is a valuable tool in certain fisheries, for both management and economic reasons. Do you have any tips on keeping track of what leader you have on your line? Do you think trout that are close to a hiking path avoid that side of the river because they are constantly spooked? A listener wants to know which vintage Orvis reel he should put on a small stream rod. Can you give me some tips on keeping the deer hair on top of the hook shank when tying Sparkle Duns? After making a cast with tight line nymphing, how do I tell when my point fly is on the bottom? Is a 6-weight rod strong enough for Labrador brook trout? Do you know of any way to remove rust from a hook eye to prevent abrasion of the knot?

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by local legend Kendall Osborne to uncover one of the best-kept secrets in Virginia's Chesapeake Bay and Eastern shore saltwater scene—the growing Tarpon fishery in our own backyard!Kendall dives into what makes this fishery so unique, when and where tarpon show up in Virginia waters, and why this seasonal phenomenon (June through August, sometimes September) is drawing the attention of adventurous anglers.But with this exciting opportunity comes responsibility. Tarpon are a fragile species, especially in areas like Virginia where the fishery is still developing. We'll cover the do's and don'ts of handling and releasing tarpon, how to fight these powerful fish properly, and the potential need to pass legislation to help protect and preserve this special fishery for generations to come! Virginia Tarpon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069831678392 Virginia Tarpon Website: http://www.virginiatarpon.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawL9j2pleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFmT3h1M21XdlV5MTJwamxpAR7oUkvZHWoGQRhldrzJr3YHq3vWZxDftXztX5Cf_wCp9WQJ-ih_x5PkE8XrUA_aem_oqEYHOK5tskKkq0kcXOQmg 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 Sponsors Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods Jake'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_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtips Support the show

We recorded a full “live dining” review right from our table — and let's just say The Edison gave us plenty to talk about (and sweat over).This wasn't your average restaurant recap. We hit record at the table and let the conversation flow — capturing our unfiltered reactions, food-fueled tangents, and, yes, even the spice-induced meltdowns in real time. From the second our zero-proof drinks arrived, we were in review mode, starting with the Heart & Soul and LZP mocktails — both creative, refreshing, and worthy of sipping slowly.Then came the standout: the Maryland Blue Crab Dip. Hot, creamy, packed with flavor, and shockingly legit for being in Florida, this dish brought us straight back to Chesapeake Bay roots. The naan was warm and soft, the crab flavor spot-on, and the addition of a side of tortilla chips was the cherry on top (or the crunch on the bottom?).Finally, we tackled the Flavors of Florida Hot Honey High Voltage Chicken Sandwich — and it lived up to the voltage warning. Spicy, sweet, peppery, and surprisingly cohesive, it might not be for the faint of heart (or weak of tastebud), but it's a bold, fiery experience we won't forget.Would we do another live dining episode? Absolutely. Would we get that crab dip again? Without hesitation.

Members of the Chesapeake Bay Commission met Wednesday morning to learn more about managing agricultural land— and how to balance economic and environmental outcomes.  Dave Cantor has more.

Send us a textIn this episode we break down the open on the Chesapeake Bay.  We learn how the heat and the weather effect the bite and what to do to keep catching them.

In today’s devotional, Whitney Hopler draws a powerful parallel between environmental cleanup and spiritual renewal. Just like small pieces of litter accumulate to cause environmental damage, “little sins”—like gossip, white lies, or procrastination—can add up to serious spiritual harm. This episode reminds us that the seemingly small compromises in our faith walk can spread through our hearts like yeast in dough, impacting our thoughts, actions, and relationship with God. But the good news? Jesus, our Passover Lamb, has already made a way for us to be cleansed and renewed. If you’re wondering how to deal with those “no big deal” moments in your spiritual life—this one’s for you. Highlights ✨ Small sins can have big spiritual consequences – just like yeast spreads through dough (1 Cor. 5:6).✨ Sin left unchecked can damage your relationship with God and others—even if it seems minor.✨ Cleaning out sin is not about legalism—it’s about living in the freedom Jesus offers.✨ Confession, repentance, and grace are the steps to remove “old yeast” from your life.✨ We need the Holy Spirit’s help to see where sin may be subtly growing.

Stretching 444 miles from New York through Pennsylvania and into Maryland's Chesapeake Bay the Susquehanna River is one of the oldest rivers in the world. And while it served generations as fertile hunting and fishing grounds and trade and transportation routes, it took American industries a couple hundred or so years to nearly destroy it. Like always, it took a dedicated group of people to speak up and make changes that would save the river. One of the voices speaking on behalf of the river belongs to the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper—an advocate, a watchdog and a tireless defender of one of the most important watersheds in the United States.The volunteer organization protects and promotes the Susquehanna River, its tributaries and the aquatic ecosystem it supports across an 11,000-square-mile watershed defined by the North and West branches of the river. Their passion for clean water and public engagement is reshaping how communities interact with their local waterways. What sets the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper apart isn't just advocacy—it's education. Their floating classroom program, citizen science initiatives, and water quality monitoring efforts are all about empowering people to become stewards of their environment. Because protecting a river starts with understanding it.The Susquehanna River faces a number of continued threats; from outdated infrastructure and agricultural runoff to industrial discharges and invasive species. These aren't distant, abstract problems—they're real challenges that affect real people. And the Riverkeeper are on the frontlines, combining data, public pressure and policy to push for meaningful change. But this work isn't all warnings and water samples. It's also about joy—about reconnecting people with their rivers, creeks and lakes. On this episode, I speak with John Zaktansky. John is the executive director of the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

Soil and agriculture provide us with something every day. Dara Booher is an agricultural educator with Shenandoah County Public Schools and a farmer-mentor coordinator with the Virginia Forage and Grassland Council and the Virginia Soil Health Coalition. Dara loves talking to youth and others about soil and agriculture. In this episode, Dara shares her enthusiasm for youth education and soil health with Mary, Eric, and Jeff, along with many teaching and demonstration resources (e.g., Enviroscape, Soil Your Undies, etc.) for immersive experiences and classroom fun.Dara recommends the National Agriculture in the Classroom teacher center for lesson plans and a full suite of educational resources. Additionally, Dara encourages farmers to visit the Virginia Forage and Grassland Council's website for farmer-to-farmer networking opportunities.As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers and follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration.Yes, soil health is a great conversation starter because we can all be 4 The Soil and for the future!  To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

Correspondent Bill Whitaker ventures out to one of the most dangerous inlets in America, nicknamed the Graveyard of the Pacific, at the mouth of the Columbia River. The mission? Document the training of elite members of the U.S. Coast Guard determined to graduate from the National Motor Lifeboat School and earn the coveted title of certified Surfmen. Whitaker speaks with some of the best water rescue professionals in the country as they push their limits, tackling the roughest waters and toughest test, to hear firsthand what it takes to operate in huge breaking surf in order to save lives. Located in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and only accessible by boat, Smith Island, Md., is a place where time stands still, and its residents speak a unique dialect. Rising sea levels and erosion are changing the landscape and placing residents at risk of becoming some of the country's first climate refugees. Correspondent Jon Wertheim meets these locals to hear how climate change threatens their way of life – and the island itself – and how their perseverance and pride are inspiring a new generation of islanders. Something unusual is going on in Major League Baseball stadiums across the country this season, and it isn't traditional baseball. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from Savannah, Ga., on the dancing, back-flipping, lip-syncing almost-baseball team, the Savannah Bananas. They've created a new twist on the sport, which they call Banana Ball. Among its rules: a two-hour time limit; no bunting, walks or mound visits; and if a fan catches a foul ball, it's an out. Stahl meets Banana Ball's unorthodox, yellow-clad founder, Jesse Cole, and discovers the electric, circus-meets-sporting-event atmosphere that is selling out ballparks.

Tundra swans are among the most magnificent birds in North America and the largest waterfowl, traveling thousands of miles from the high Arctic to their winter home on the Chesapeake Bay. So, why aren't there as many of them as there used to be in the region?

My guest this week is Antoine Bissieux [38:28], Orvis-Endorsed Guide of the Year for 2025.  Antoine, otherwise known as The French Fly Fisherman, regularly fishes with and communicates with the top French competitive fly fishers, and has developed methods of fishing nymphs and dry flies as well as dry/dropper setups adapted from what he has learned from these world-class anglers. You'll learn some new techniques to make your fly fishing more effective and more interesting no matter where you fish.      In the Fly Box this week, we have some questions that I think will help many other fly fishers solve problems they may have, including: How can I tell what line is on my old reel? Should I get a 3-weight or 4-weight rod for small streams? Do those devices to remove flies from fish quickly really work? I have seen carp opening up their mouths and taking repeated gulps of food from the surface. Is this common and what do you call it? A fly shop told me that using tippet rings is not a good idea because I would break off fish. Is this true? A listener reports on conditions on the rivers in western North Carolina after the floods. I put a nick in my fly line and have to cut off the last 12 inches. Can I still use this line? My foam flies keep landing upside-down. How can I correct this? How should I fish streamers in clear pools where you can see right to the bottom? How should I cast to a fish that is directly below a branch trailing in the water? A suggestion from a listener on using a room dehumidifier to dry out waders and boots. Can I rig two flies on a blood knot, using both sides of the knot, one longer and one shorter? Would a 9-foot, 9-weight rod be the right one for fishing in Chesapeake Bay?  And can I use the same rod for steelhead in Michigan? I see a lot of goose feathers on my local golf course. Can I use these for biots on flies and which part should I use? What can I do with saltwater flies where the hook has gotten slightly rusty?

Overwhelmed by life’s crashing waves?In “God’s Power is Stronger than Your Challenges,” Whitney Hopler shares the inspiring faith of a small island community literally disappearing beneath rising tides—and how their trust in God’s power sustains them. Psalm 93 reminds us that even when the storm surges, “the Lord on high is mighty.” When problems rise like pounding waves, God’s strength stands firm.

The Champions of the 10th annual Ike Foundation Pro-Am drove home with a brand new Bass Cat Bobcat bass boat. Learn how they did it (and how you might be able to do it next year!) Join us for an insightful Ike Live episode "At The Bar" as we dive into a busy and eventful week. This show, brought to you by Abu Garcia and Tackle Warehouse, covers everything from fishing tournament victories to the behind-the-scenes world of bass fishing. In this Ike Live (from the bar) episode, Mike & Becky Iaconelli discuss: * The Ike Foundation ProAm: Relive the excitement of the 10th annual Ike Foundation ProAm fishing tournament on the Upper Chesapeake Bay. Discover how the event brought together competitors, volunteers, and sponsors for a great cause: getting new kids fishing. Despite the heat, over 100 kids learned how to fish, some for the very first time, experiencing the "fun fest" atmosphere with activities, hot dogs, and free rods and reels. * Tidal Water Fishing Strategy: Hear from this year's Pro-Am winner, JT Lang, about his unique tournament strategy on the challenging Chesapeake Bay tidal fishery. JT, who often finds success with "no practice" or "minimal practice", explains how adapting to minute-by-minute tidal changes and fishing the moment led to their victory. Learn how they strategically fished close to the bank during high water and successfully upgraded their catch using a frog fishing technique in "worst looking grass with chunky mud". It was the closest win in the Pro-Am's history, decided by just four ounces. * Vegas's Junior Bass Fishing Championship: Celebrate with us as Vegas "The Hammer", Mike's son, shares his experience winning the New Jersey Youth and High School BASS States tournament on Manasquan Reservoir. This critical win qualified him for the national championship on Clarks Hill Reservoir. Vegas discusses his decision-making process, including moving to deeper water (23-25 feet) to find fish when the shallow bite shut off. He also recounts a thrilling moment of catching a six-pounder and the "scariest signs of lightning" experienced on the water, including a "buzzing rod tip" and "floating line". * Overcoming Challenges & Future Plans: Mike opens up about his tough decision to miss the Tenkiller event due to injury, a rare occurrence in his 30-year career. The goal is to return to fishing by the St. Clair event. The episode also teases future developments, including Vegas's custom dice lure coming soon, and major bass fishing industry rumors, such as BASS being up for sale and MLF's plans for "new breakthrough specialty events" possibly "partnering with LIV Golf". Don't miss the humorous discussion about the potential "Golden Guys" senior fishing tour!

In this episode of the podcast, Jeff Ishee chats with Susan Watkins of Watkins Farms in Dinwiddie County Virginia, a 3500 acre farm growing soybeans, corn, and wheat. Susan shares information about the long history of her family far, their transition to cover crops and no till over twenty years ago, and their approach to cover cropping. She shares about the cost and labor savings that have come from transitioning to these practices. Watkins Farms is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, which means conservation practices like no-till planting and the use of cover crops have an impact beyond the soil health of the land itself. Farmers play a key role in improving the water quality in the Bay. You can find more info at: https://farmersforsoilhealth.com/success-stories/seven-generations-of-stewardship-with-susan-watkins/ As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers and follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration.

Few of us can afford a yacht to cruise the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or even the Chesapeake Bay at will. But what if it was possible for a lot less than you think? Today we talk with Kirstie Palmer Tippett, the President of Waypoints Yacht Charters based right here in Eastport! If I don't sail, I can go to Waypoints and charter a boat for a week--they can provide a captain and crew. If I am an expert, I can go to Waypoints and charter a boat for a week and be on my way solo. And there are plenty of options in between. So, what is the Waypoints difference? It's personal. They are small enough to handle your charter from start to finish without passing you around to other departments or employees. Their boats are not part of a fleet, but are individually owned and managed for their owners. And with bases in Annapolis and the BVIs, they have team members nearby to handle any questions that might arise. Yacht Charters may be a misnomer as they truly are a vacation company, and much more! Have a listen! And then go cruise! LINKS: Waypoints Yacht Charters (Website) Waypoints Yacht Charters (Facebook) Waypoints Yacht Charters (Instagram)

As many as 100,000 enslaved people fled successfully from the horrors of bondage in the antebellum South, finding safe harbor along a network of passageways across North America via the Underground Railroad. Yet many escapes took place not by land but by sea. William Grimes escaped slavery in 1815 by stowing away in a cotton bale on a ship from Savannah to New York, enduring days without food or water before settling in Connecticut. Frederick Douglass disguised himself as a free black sailor, using borrowed papers to board a train and then a steamboat from Baltimore to New York, reaching freedom in less than 24 hours. Thomas Jones, a formerly enslaved man from North Carolina, escaped in 1849 by hiding on a ship bound for New York, relying on his maritime knowledge as a steward to evade detection and later reuniting with his family in the North.This was a secret world of stowaways and the vessels that carried them to freedom across the North and into Canada. It sprawled through the intricate riverways of the Carolinas to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay to Boston’s harbors. Today’s guest is Marcus Rediker, author of “Freedom Ship: The Uncharted History of Escaping Slavery by Sea.” We see the Atlantic waterfront as a place of conspiracy, mutiny, and liberation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
