You're at your dock, focused on filleting some Florida Keys yelloweye and vermilion snapper you just caught a few hours ago at the Islamorada Hump.  You're in the zone, filet knife in hand, when two FWC agents surprise you from behind. That heart-stopping, "oh-crap-did-I-do-something-wrong" feeling is something every angler knows.  But here's the thing: not every FWC inspection is a bad one.  Stick around as I relive my surprise dockside FWC inspection at Tavernier Creek Marina.  Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys?

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.  Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys?

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?

Bou Bosso is a fiery, articulate man that seeks out every ounce of everything he touches or talks about. We've seen his antics on the water chasing tournaments wins on the hit tarpon television show he created, “Silver Kings." It's when he explodes at the man on his bow, you ask yourself why the discord… There really is no reason for all this but maybe it's the will and perfection in others that he demands from himself? At a very young age he pursed giant bonefish while wading down the beach in front of his parents home in Islamorada, Florida. These fish deeply hit home and a life in guiding for him was a no brainer. At one point he thought of a more structured life. His father was a lawyer so he studied hard and passed the bar and a law practice was briefly dappled with. But the magnetic energy of the the ocean and the fish that he loved pulled him back to it, where he could create the magic he loved, watching giant Tarpon jumping out of it! On today's podcast, Bou weaves us through his compelling life's story, filled with some heavy ups and downs and clearly explaining how he got back on top of his game…

What is a great bait to use for mutton snapper and picky dolphin aka mahi mahi? Flying Fish. Not only are they fun to watch, always bringing a smile to my charter clients and myself, but also great bait to use. IF, you can catch them or find them to purchase. I share from an incredible article written by Sid Dobrin "The Fishing Professor" that was featured in an old issue of Florida Sportsman Magazine June 2023.  And if you haven't listened to last weeks podcast about why I created this new format, go back and listen. Thank you to Sid and Florida Sportsman for such a great article!  If you are interested in learning more about bait and the best ways to catch fish using different bait?

My wife JoNell's birthday fell on Memorial Day this year, so we celebrated her birthday all 3 day in Key West and Islamorada. Fun was most certainly had.

Capt. Pauly Ross is quickly becoming one of the most respected young guides in the Florida Keys, and for good reason. At just 24 years old, he's already earning a reputation that many seasoned captains spend a lifetime building. Born and raised in Islamorada, Pauly grew up on the deck of the Relentless, the legendary offshore fishing vessel captained by his father, Paul Ross—an icon in the sportfishing world with seven Gold Cup Sailfish Series titles to his name. The Ross family name carries serious weight on the water, and Pauly is honoring that legacy while forging his own path in the backcountry and tarpon arenas. With a quiet confidence and humble nature, Pauly operates with the precision, calm, and instincts of someone twice his age. He's a natural guide—sharp-eyed, tactical, and relentlessly focused on giving his anglers the best possible shot. Pauly's list of accolades is already impressive. He's a multi-time winner of the Poor Boys Tarpon Tournament and a champion of the Herman Lucerne Backcountry Tournament. His name is consistently in the mix during tarpon season, where he's recognized as a serious threat across all the major tournaments. Although, the most amazing accomplishment, I believe, is that he recently caught a super slam (Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, Snook, & Redfish) solo on fly in one day! I am not sure anyone has done that to date - but could be wrong. But accolades only tell part of the story. What sets Pauly apart is his work ethic and presence on the water. Whether poling through skinny flats or chasing rolling tarpon at dawn, he brings the same level of preparation, quiet intensity, and deep respect for the sport every day. His guests quickly realize they're fishing with someone special—a guide with both heart and heritage. Capt. Pauly Ross represents the next generation of elite Florida Keys fishing. And if his early success is any indication, he's just getting started.

El ahorro te permite cometer errores. Esta es una de las muchas enseñanzas que me llevo de la charla con Juan. Cuando presidía Telefónica, fue tildado de arrogante por decir que la compra de Antena 3 representaba “solamente 17 días de cash-flow”. Seas una empresa o una familia, el flujo de caja positivo ofrece la libertad máxima. Te permite explorar y, por tanto, equivocarte. Este es, al final del día, el lujo definitivo. El escenario opuesto sería la deuda. La vida se vuelve más estresante en ella, quedándote sin margen de error. El problema de la deuda, desde mi perspectiva, es que reduce el número de opciones futuras y eso impacta en tu grado de desarrollo. Si mañana se presentara una oportunidad inesperada, no podrías ir a por ella, teniendo esas horas ya ocupadas con compromisos previos. Vivimos en una economía azarosa y la lección de Juan es que pelees por tu libertad de movimientos, añadiendo activos que generen rentas. La mejor manera de explorar este mundo incierto es con flujo de caja positivo.Me gustaría agradecer al Bastardo Hostel por permitirme grabar esta entrevista en sus magnífica instalaciones. La del Bastardo es una propuesta revolucionaria en el campo de la hostelería. Si tienes que hospedarte próximamente en Madrid, ese es tu sitio. Mi agradecimiento también a Víctor López. La serendipia sigue curiosos patrones. Juan buscaba restaurante en Sevilla. El recepcionista del hotel le habló de Islamorada. Una vez allí, le gustó tanto el sitio que preguntó quién llevaba eso.

Capt. Greg Dini is a highly respected flats fishing guide with expertise in saltwater fly fishing and light tackle angling. Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, he developed a love for fishing early on, spending his high school years honing his skills in Mosquito Lagoon. This passion led him to the University of Miami on a Division I baseball scholarship, where he further refined his angling techniques in the bountiful waters of South Florida. After transferring to Tulane University in New Orleans, Captain Dini immersed himself in the Louisiana marshes, dedicating thousands of hours to this iconic fishery. His commitment to the sport has earned him a reputation as one of the most skilled and respected guides in the region. Greg is a founding guide at Flywater Expeditions in Islamorada, Florida, where he continues to share his wealth of knowledge and passion for fishing with clients. Alongside guiding, he is also a published photographer and videographer, capturing the beauty and essence of the fishing world through his lens. In 2023, Dini and his angler Evan Carruthers triumphed in both the prestigious Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament and the Don Hawley Tarpon Tournament, solidifying their place as a formidable force in the competitive fishing world. Beyond his professional pursuits, Greg is a devoted family man who cherishes time with his wife and three children. This is his story - we hope you enjoy!

Every scuba diver must visit this location at some point in their life. My only regret is not going sooner. We noticed that it's just as mind-blowing to non-divers and kids as it is to certified divers. I also believe it inspires many to go and get involved in the world of scuba diving. In this interview, I speak with the executive director, Lisa Mongelia while at the DEMA Show. She not only gives us some foundational history, but some of the most interesting points and facts about the museum itself.  I also found the little hidden Playmobile divers to be wildly fun, in an Easter-eggy kinda way! The history of Diving Museum is a first-class operation with extremely fine attention to detail. This is every diver's bucket-list destination, and it's perfectly situated in the Florida Keys, on Islamorada.  From sound effects to things you can touch, we got the vibe of being transported somewhere else. I was shocked at the number of dive helmets and suits that exist out there and loved the timeline and facts along the floor as we walked from one exhibit to the next. They displayed everything from earliest Seibe Gorman dive helmets to the Mark V, as well as all regular scuba diving milestones and even the submersible Jim Suits (atmosphere dive suits). This was one of my all-time favorite maritime attractions, and I will be back! PS I think what really makes this one pop is tha fact that it's right in between SO much scuba diving (between Key Largo and Key West). It just fits.

Tim Choate is a pioneering force in Billfish Conservation and one of the most influential figures in the world of sport fishing. Growing up in Islamorada, Florida, Tim was introduced to the world of blue-water fishing by his close friend, Bucky Stark. His passion for marlin fishing quickly became an obsession, leading him to set numerous records that left the sport stunned. In 1995, his boat Magic caught an astonishing 2,140 billfish in a single year. Choate's fishing adventures took him to the Great Barrier Reef, where he spent five years honing his skills. In 1982, alongside Captain Peter Wright, he helped land the season's largest black marlin, weighing an impressive 1,212 pounds. While Tim's early career was defined by record-breaking catches and an insatiable drive to land the biggest fish, his passion eventually shifted toward conservation. Witnessing the detrimental impact of commercial fishing on marlin and sailfish populations, Tim became a key advocate for their protection. His efforts culminated in the passing of the Billfish Conservation Act of 2012, which banned the commercial sale of marlin and sailfish in the continental U.S. In addition to his legislative work, Tim co-founded the Billfish Foundation, an organization dedicated to highlighting the economic and ecological value of recreational sport fishing over commercial harvesting. He was also an early advocate for circle hooks, pushing for their use long before scientific studies proved their effectiveness in reducing fish mortality from gut-hooking. Tim's contributions to the sport and conservation were recognized with numerous honors, including: 2012: Frank Johnson Trophy for Personal Achievement in Advancement of Big Game Sport Fishing, awarded by Guy Harvey Outpost. 2013: IGFA Conservation Award. 2016: Inducted into the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Hall of Fame. Tim Choate's legacy is one of unmatched dedication to the preservation of billfish and the broader marine environment, and his impact continues to be felt by anglers and conservationists alike.

Wahoo is a coveted fish that is on many anglers bucket lists let alone anglers that fish regularly wish to learn how to catch more wahoo consistently. I understand because wahoo is my favorite fish to catch and eat too. I have learned a lot about how to catch wahoo over the years of being a charter boat fishing guide in The Florida Keys and this episode of the Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast shares my insights on wahoo lure color colors and how to catch more wahoo.  Here are the links for what I talked about in the podcast episode: Thanks for hitting the subscribe, like, and comment.

"Fish don't have calendars."    I kick off this week's episode of The Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast with a Florida Keys (Key Largo, Islamorada, Tavernier) fishing report (mahi mahi, mangrove snappers, and cubera snappers) that leads into how to use SatFish to increase your catch.    SatFish is an incredible tool that I use every day- fishing or not. And my quick tutorial in this podcast video will help you learn how to use it too.    Still not signed up? https://www.satfish.com and my affiliate code for $20 off is GOODKARMA.     The fishing report I share also takes into account the moon cycle which can you learn more about with my $22 online course Solunar and Tide Planning.    And Conquer the Weather is a FREE PDF that can help you as well. Click below. https://www.goodkarmaconfidence.com/courses/weather     My preferred way to mahi mahi aka dolphin (but not flipper) here in The Florida Keys is trolling. And for that, I use sea witches. If you wish to create your own, I recommend joining The Good Karma Rigging Crew 2.0 monthly online Facebook community ($25 a month) as I just put in a great video sharing how to make your own sea witch.    But, if you don't wish to, or you are like me and choose to mix it up, try some of the cool lures I shared in this video from Gulf Stream Lures. They withstood the hair pull test live on this video which could have been a disaster for my recording if they didn't. The quality is incredible- hair, head, tying, so I am super excited to use these on the water and report after.   And I close on some straight up facts about my fishing charters (I have been a captain here in The Florida Keys since 2011) and my podcast which is coming up on a six year anniversary (August 2018).    Thank you to all my clients and guys listening to the episodes!   https://www.goodkarmasportfishing.com   All courses and The Good Karma Rigging Crew 2.0   https://www.goodkarmafishingtackle.com     Questions about any courses or the Rigging Crew 2.0 email support@goodkarmasportfishing.com   Charters only - email - goodkarmaryan@gmail.com   Follow me on:   IG @goodkarmasportfishing_fl_keys https://www.instagram.com/goodkarmasportfishing_fl_keys/ (@goodkarmasportfishing_fl_keys) • Instagram photos and videos FB @goodkarmafishingcharters https://www.facebook.com/GoodKarmaFishingCharters   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-van-fleet-goodkarma/

Drew Moret is a highly acclaimed skiff guide and the son of fishing legend, Sandy Moret. You can only imagine his childhood growing up with that DNA in the Sport Fishing Capital of the world, Islamorada, Florida. Sandy's friends are the who's who in the flats fishing game; Steve Huff, Flip Pallot, Chico Fernandez, Stu Apte, Billy Knowles, and many others. The inspiration to be somebody in fishing was everywhere you looked. All the kids of that generation became great fishermen and if you loved to fish, guiding was the door to financial security. Drew took to tarpon in a big way. The bonefishing was off the charts during these formative years, but Drew became a backcountry genius knowing when and where these silver kings would be, showing their voracious bite to a well placed fly. Regardless of the time of year or the weather, he'll be looking for the poon and most likely he'll find them. He prides himself on fishing for tarpon year round, although he can do it all. From cobia fishing on the wrecks, to tailing redfish and sunning snook. On todays podcast, we cover a number of adventures from the life of a Megalops addict!

Do you have a blueprint that works to find fish consistently? Most anglers do not have a blueprint. They just hop in their boat, head out for the day, and hope to find some debris. Unfortunately, everything is changing so rapidly now that this "strategy" is very outdated. This episode of the Good Karma Sportfishing & Coaching Podcast shares, via video, SatFish views and what I look for that contributes to my success on the water with my fishing charters. I share examples of The Florida Keys, however these SatFish examples can be used to understand how to create your own blueprint, the why behind things, for your where (you fish).  I highly recommend SatFish and am an affiliate.  My 8 Week Courses also share more about how to use SatFish so check them out as well.  https://www.satfish.com $20 off code is GOODKARMA The Good Karma Rigging Crew 2.0 is a monthly online Facebook Community and I talk about it more in this episode.  You can find all my courses and fishing charter information on my website: https://www.goodkarmasportfishing.com "Courses" tab for the course info.  You can also sign up for my FREE Conquer the Day one page mastery blueprint where I share how I prep the day of and what I am thinking about: https://www.goodkarmaconfidence.com/courses/blueprint  I fish out of The Upper Florida Keys- Key Largo, Islamorada, Tavernier.

Daytime swordfishing began in Venezuela when Aquiles Garcia and Captain Oscar Benito Marcano used a bag of rocks to get their bait down to where these prized fish swim in extreme depths during daylight hours. In 1997, on the La Guaira bank many Captains started to target these billfish with confidence. It wasn't refined until two brothers, Richard and Scott Stanczyk started to consistently catch them in the Florida Keys around 2002. But it was Richards son, Nick, that took the swordfish game to new heights catching an estimated 2,000 fish with a personal best of a 757lber. Nick grew up on the docks in the sport fish capital of the world (Islamorada) and began catching snappers before he could walk. He later attended the University of Miami but always knew he was going to make his living on the water. Nick has gained a massive audience in the last 8 years with social media and marketing himself as the guy that consistently catches broadbill swordfish. Currently he is taking more time off spending time with his family and growing his YouTube and Stanz fishing apparel line. Although, if you want to catch one of these monsters of the deep he still remains one of the top captains in this genre of fishing. On todays podcast, Nick talks about his family's relationship with swordfish and his profound legend of catching them...

Mitch Howell has had a very interesting life on and off the water. At a young age, Howell's family was failing him so his grandparents took the helm and raised him. His world was coming at him in different directions very quickly. He would eventually find profound joy and success in fishing. It was one of our sport's great heroes, Flip Pallot, who would be Mitch's greatest influence and mentor years later. We have heard numerous stories on this podcast how fishing has saved many of our guests lives, and here, Mitch will document a similar story stemming from a different kind of carnage. Mitch found invigoration with fishing and he eventually carved his way to the podium many of the Florida Keys most prominent tournaments. And, too, Mitch had incredible dexterity. He could do damage with a fly rod as well as a spinning rod or bait caster. Inshore or offshore, he could do it all! Today, we talk about how tackle shops were the hang out spots of the past, fishing with Mark Krowka, Flip Pallot, & Billy Pate, and how there was no challenge quite like the big bonefish of Islamorada. Thanks for coming on, Mitch!

The So Fly Crew sit and chat about taking your first saltwater fly fishing trip. As anglers of the north used to freshwater fishing, they too never realllly thought it would be possible to one day fish salty places. BUT, they have now gotten some experience doing it and offer some tips and advice from what they learned on those first few trips. Mitch and Aldo also chat to guide Capt. David Dinsmore of Islamorada, Florida. David talks about what you can expect on your first guided saltwater day, how best to prepare, and what he thinks makes an epic day on the water.

Betsy Bullard has an amazing heart filled with the love of fishing, her friends, and the insatiable desire to save the Everglades. At a very young age, her father helped her catch her first fish that would eventually direct her empowering life in fishing. I first recognized her beauty when she worked many of the Key's Fly Tournaments as a weigh master. Before she found her footing in Islamorada, Fl she owned and operated the Golfito Sailfish Rancho in Costa Rica. But when she experienced sight fishing on the flats in the Florida Keys, she was “Toast." Betsy ran the Herman Lucerne tournament and also fished in many of the men's tournaments against some of the best in the game. Her biggest competitive achievement might have been when her and Wesley Locke won the Sail Fly tournament in Guatemala. Bullard is relentless when it comes to conservation and restoring the Everglades. As an honorary board member of Bonefish Tarpon Trust and a tireless worker for Captains for Clean Water she was one of hundreds that showed up on the Senate floor demanding the destructive SB 2508 bill be vetoed by Governor DeSantis. They were eventually victorious. It takes a real ground force, a movement to do such things and Betsy is always up front leading these all important charges. Betsy Bullard, in our book, is true inspiration!

Richard Black is that man that came a long as a young kid and changed what fishing greatness looked like. At 17, while still in school studying for his degree in marine biology, he had his captains license and was already out-fishing most of the seasoned professionals. His wow factor was real. Richard refined his craft at a blistering speed. His fishing dexterity became legendary; he could fish the gulf stream and the reef as well as the the flats around his home near Islamorada. He is proficient from Chokoloskee to Key West, Miami to the Bahamas. It wasn't uncommon for him to catch a number of Sailfish in the morning, run home, change boats and go release a number of redfish, snook and bonefish in the same day. Any tournament Richard Black is in, it's a given he'll be there at the buzzer. Richard's wife, Brooke Denkert, daughter of well known guide Dave, is a marine biologist as well. The whole family has fishing and water in their DNA. His home is filled with highly sought after tournament wins and most importantly, he's an incredibly nice guy…. You'll love this kid!!
