The Panther returns with another slice of sermon magic, there's your chance to win a bait bundle, and, last but certainly not least, Jake "The Heron" joins us once again to talk about a huge change in his life. After leaving his full-time role at Prolite Explorer, he's taking the plunge into some exciting new ventures — and we find out exactly what's next. Enjoy.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast, pro bass angler Bob Downey breaks down the exact decision making process he uses before he ever makes his first cast of the day.

We also get into what happens when those two decisions conflict, like when everything points shallow but everything also points slow, and how he adjusts on the fly once his starting game plan doesn't produce.

We only had a few hours to try and get a bite live on the podcast mic but lets just say it didn't go to plan. Mark hasn't been fishing for ages, he was rusty to say the least and everything he touched seemingly went wrong.

It's great to be back recording this month's podcast. Me and Mark haven't crossed paths much over the last four weeks for various reasons but as always we soon start discussing plenty of relevant topics that may just help put an extra carp or two on the bank.This time round we cover ammonia spikes in lakes, the cycle of dissolved oxygen and how this relates to bite times, rancid bait and how this can completely ruin a spot plus our usual dose of life's trials and tribulations. Then we have the much loved Panthers sermon back as Tim's global "In Pursuit of the Largest" pilgrimage comes to an end before we roll into our guest chapter. This month it's Mr Big Carp Buzz himself, Louis Bernthal aka Berny or berny_tighlines on insta. Now Berney is someone that lives and breathes his fishing however due to family commitments his angling is extremely limited. Despite him struggling to find time to wet a line he's always on hand to congratulate his mates on captures without an ounce of jealousy. His buzz for carp fishing is infectious and when he does get to wet a line, let's just say he makes the most of every single minute of his slice of freedom. Berny is partial to living like a shipwreck survivor in pursuit of big, wild carp and his never give up attitude is an asset that has driven him to extremes to ensure his public lake dreams become reality. Enjoy. 

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with YouTube standout Blake Miller from  ⁨@BDBassin⁩   to dive into his strategy for stepping outside the traditional tackle box, explaining how experimenting with unique, unconventional baits and color patterns can trigger strikes from highly pressured bass that ignore standard presentations.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with Jason Henegar, Fisheries Division Chief for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), to discuss a growing crisis in our southern fisheries: the invasion of the Alabama Bass. Often illegally transplanted into new waters, these Alabama-strain spotted bass are wreaking havoc on native smallmouth bass populations through rapid hybridization.Jason breaks down the science behind this alarming trend, explaining how these hybrids (often called "meanmouths") are literally breeding purebred smallmouth out of existence in world-class waters across the Tennessee River system, including Fort Loudon-Tellico and Parksville Lake. We dive deep into what this means for the future of tournament bass fishing, the looming threat to legendary fisheries like Dale Hollow, and the drastic regulation changes the TWRA is implementing to manage the fallout.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/915 Presented by: Golden Fly Shop, TroutRoutes, Jackson Hole Fly Company. A music producer doesn't usually end up building a fly fishing podcast—but that's exactly how Pablo Signori got started. What began as a side project during the pandemic turned into The Newb and the Knower, a show built around learning fly fishing from the ground up. Instead of positioning himself as an expert, Pablo leaned into being a beginner and documented the process in real time. That approach not only shaped the podcast but also opened the door to travel, deeper learning, and a completely new path in fly fishing.
