Podcasts about Kayak fishing

Episode 1012 of the Tom Rowland Podcast is a catch-up conversation with kayak fishing tournament angler Dustin Nichols that turned into something I did not see coming — a 192 BPM heart rate at 51, the energy drinks that put him in the back of an ambulance, the BMX comeback that has taken 50 pounds off him at 54, and his honest take on where kayak fishing is headed. Five years ago Dustin came on the podcast for the first time. I had him back this week to find out what had happened since. What he told me ended up being one of the more honest comeback stories I have heard on this show in a while, and I wanted to share why.

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by Jarrod Egolf and Justin Cremisio, the owners of J2 Fishing Company, to talk about their story, their mission, the upcoming Fighting to Fishing Charity Tournament, and a brand-new fishing product they are bringing to market.J2 Fishing Company started with two kids from Eldersburg, Maryland — shoutout to those E-Burg roots — fishing local waters like Piney Run Reservoir and Liberty Reservoir. What began as a shared love for fishing turned into a lifelong brotherhood, and nearly 30 years later, Jarrod and Justin are using that passion to build something bigger than just a fishing brand.In this episode, we dive into how J2 Fishing Company was founded, why fishing can be a powerful outlet for stress, mental clarity, healing, and purpose, and how reconnecting with the outdoors can change lives. Their message is built around faith, family, country, trust, mindset, and the belief that there is no limit to human potential.We also discuss their mission to help others heal through fishing — one cast, one breath, and one moment at a time — along with the meaning behind the Fighting to Fishing Charity Tournament and how anglers can get involved.Fighting to Fishing Tournament sign up: https://www.j2fishingcompany.com/2026-from-fighting-to-fishing-tournament  Link to J2 Fishing Company: https://www.j2fishingcompany.com/  Link to J2 Fishing Company on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569952240182  Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us   Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168Support the show

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV I have on Shawn Cowart. Shawn talks to us about his story and the Fish On Bass Anglers a Mid-Atlantic bass fishing club founded in 1999 that serves anglers across Maryland, Virginia, and the Washington, DC area. The club is built around organized tournament fishing while emphasizing camaraderie, sportsmanship, and learning on the water. Fish On Bass Anglers hosts a seasonal schedule of tournaments on a variety of regional waters, offering both draw-style and partner events for boaters and co-anglers, along with traditional weigh-ins, lunker awards, and end-of-season recognition.

On this action-packed episode of Fishing the DMV, we head back to Lake Anna, one of the hottest winter bass fishing lakes in the Mid-Atlantic, to break down why this place continues to fish like an absolute cold-water bass factory. We're joined by the man, the myth, the legend Matt Strykul of SB Fishing, fresh off BACK-TO-BACK tournament wins at the Sturgeon Creek Marina Winter Series.

On this special bass fishing episode of Fishing the DMV, we revisit one of the most heartfelt and inspiring fishing stories in our channel history. In August, we lost Charlie Taylor at 86 — a bass fishing legend whose impact on the freshwater fishing community will live on. Charlie was the founder of Lots-A-Luck Bassmasters and New Horizon Bass Anglers, and was instrumental in creating the New Horizon Bass Anglers Youth Foundation, which hosts one of the longest-running youth fishing derbies in the country at Lake Fairfax — a must-see kids fishing event for anglers of all ages. Charlie's passion for bass fishing techniques, fishing education, and mentoring young anglers made him a beloved fixture in the community. He loved sharing fishing tips, telling incredible fishing tales, and helping both beginners and seasoned anglers improve their game — from bass boat strategy to lure selection, casting techniques, and more. Charlie also made memorable appearances at the Dale City Fishing and Flea Market Show — an annual fishing expo held Saturday, January 31 from 8 AM to 1 PM at the local fire department — and his presence will be dearly missed.In this episode, I'm honored to share my interview with Charlie Taylor, where he recounts how his love for fishing began back in 1970. As a supervisor with 7-Eleven, a store manager told him he needed a hobby… and that conversation sparked a lifelong bass fishing obsession that defined his life.This episode is a tribute to a man whose dedication to bass fishing tips, youth fishing education, and the angling community helped shape the lives of countless fishermen and women. Whether you're here for freshwater fishing content, bass fishing techniques, or inspirational fishing stories, this episode honors a true icon of the sport.Don't miss this legacy-filled bass fishing interview and celebration of one of the greats in our community.
