Join host Butch Thierry on this week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report as he returns to the mic with two powerhouse guests—Captain Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing and Chris Vecsey from Sam's Bait and Tackle. Together, they deliver the latest inshore, nearshore, and offshore updates from across the Alabama Gulf Coast. Captain Bobby breaks down the hot bite in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and tidal rivers, where clear water and cooling temps have speckled trout, white trout, and redfish feeding hard. He shares what's been working best around the bird schools, explains why drifting beats spot-locking when the fish are up high, and offers key insight into the latest trout stock assessments showing a strong, healthy fishery. Bobby also talks about conservation wins, cold-weather tactics, and why this is shaping up to be one of the best fall runs in years. Next, Chris checks in from Orange Beach with a thrilling report on nearshore tuna action. Blackfin tuna are thick just off Navarre, with 20–30 lb fish being caught from small boats and kayaks, and even a few giant Yellowfin tuna—some over 150 pounds—have shown up right off the beach. Chris shares expert advice for safely targeting these fish from a kayak, the signs to look for when tracking feeding schools, and the simple plug-and-popper setups getting it done. He also covers what's happening inshore, where redfish are aggressive, trout are still active on the flats, and pompano and bull reds are lighting up the beaches as water temps drop. Whether you're fishing from the rivers or chasing tuna off the Gulf beaches, this episode is loaded with practical tips, late-fall tactics, and the latest guide-tested patterns to help you stay dialed in on the Alabama coast.

Si paga uno stipendio da 1000€ al mese (meno di uno stagista), ma gestisce un portafoglio di investimenti da 200 Milioni di euro.Questa è la storia di Paolo Pescetto, il "Pesce Rosso" del Private Equity italiano.In un mondo di "squali" (sharks) pronti a spolpare le aziende, lui ha costruito una filosofia diversa. Il suo soprannome "Fish" (nato in un'azienda USA per il suo cognome, Pescetto) è diventato il cuore di Redfish: un partner che nuota insieme agli imprenditori, non contro di loro.In questo episodio incredibile, Paolo ci porta al momento esatto in cui ha rischiato tutto: "Mi sono venduto una casa... l'ho venduta a 500 mila euro e ho fatto il mio primo investimento".Perché? Perché se chiedi agli altri di fidarsi di te, devi essere il primo a mettere la tua pelle in gioco ("skin in the game").In questa chiacchierata scoprirete:- Holding vs. Fondi (SGR): La vera differenza e perché il loro modello offre più flessibilità agli imprenditori.- Il Metodo "Copia e Incolla": Paolo ammette di non essere un genio, ma di essere diventato innovativo "copiando un po' di qua, un po' di là" e unendo le idee migliori.- La Corsa al Raddoppio: Come in 3-4 anni hanno convinto tutti di essere dei "Re Mida", raddoppiando il capitale e gestendo la pressione.- Perché 1000€ al Mese?: La mentalità di chi punta tutto sul risultato variabile, non sullo stipendio fisso.- L'Obiettivo Finale: La visione di Paolo non si ferma qui. L'obiettivo è chiaro: "Mi piacerebbe poi tagliare il traguardo del Billion".Questa non è solo un'intervista sulla finanza. È il racconto di un imprenditore che si è indebitato personalmente per credere nel suo sogno, costruendo un impero basato su fiducia, rischio calcolato e una filosofia controcorrente.Ascolta ora la storia completa di Paolo Pescetto.

This Week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report is Live! The transition to fall is here, and the fishing is heating up! This week, we check in with two local experts to cover the bite from Panama City to Pensacola. First, Captain Harris Scruggs joins the show to break down the fantastic offshore action. With Gag Grouper season in full swing, Harris dives deep into the tactics you need to land these powerful fish, from the best big baits and heavy leaders to the right gear and even how to get a gag out after it's rocked you up. He also covers the fall wahoo bite, discussing trolling speeds, live baiting techniques, and the key depths to find them, along with reports on cobia and king mackerel. Then, we head inshore with Captain Evan Wheeler, who explains why the best thing about September is that "it's not August anymore." The inshore bite is firing up as baitfish push into the estuaries. Evan focuses on the incredible redfish action, sharing how to find and catch them on everything from topwater plugs at sunrise to live bait and soft plastics around deeper structure. He also discusses the changing seasonal patterns, what a "trout sky" means for the bite, and how to follow the bait and birds to stay on the fish. Whether you're heading offshore for one last shot at a gag or want to cash in on the best redfish bite of the year, this episode is loaded with the local knowledge you need for a successful trip.   Sponsors Fishbites Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Killerdock Test Calibration Coastal Connection EXP Realty Great Days Outdoors Hilton's Realtime Navigator Bucks Island Marine AFTCO Sea Tow Shoreline Plastics Return Em Right Southeastern Pond Management Pure Flats Admiral Shellfish

As John Hunt shared, trips like the Louisiana bull redfish adventure provide one of the best entry points for anglers new to the salt. From casting nine-weights at 20+ pounds saltwater redfish to building confidence for bigger species like tarpon and permit, these experiences are both affordable and action-packed. Add in Cajun food, cultural richness, and the community vibe created on hosted trips, and it's clear why anglers return year after year. Whether your goal is chasing bull reds in the Louisiana marsh or preparing for international adventures like the Double Haul Tournament in Mexico, John's insights remind us that saltwater fly fishing is about growth, connection, and the joy of the journey.

Welcome to a 10-minute "Make Sit Happen" meditation recorded in real time on the shores of Redfish Lake, Idaho (my father's home-state, where I recently scattered some of his ashes). This is a gentle, contemplative sit, accompanied by the natural music of lake water meeting the shore. The rhythm of the waves invites you into presence, stillness, and breath. Come take your seat. Let the Sawtooth Mountains hold you. Let the water teach you how to soften. No performance, no perfect meditation, just you, your breath, and this moment.

Jamieson, Ted, Wyatt, and Andrew gather around the old oak table once more to tackle some tough topics—like Crocs, educational electrocutions, and other near-death encounters. The crew discusses recent and firsthand experiences with Mosquito Lagoon's low water levels and how they may impact skiff travel. Ted shares stories from a recent tarpon expedition in the Florida Keys, and there's a healthy dose of group “shoe talk.” They also review the day's events, including some pre-fishing ahead of “Larrypalooza” and the meetup at the “Wedding Bar.” Plus, we get a glimpse into Wyatt's origin story and the early days of his fly fishing journey while spending a summer working in Alaska.

  Big trout, close-range snapper, and deep-dropping swords—all in this week's episode. In this episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry is joined by co-host Dylan Kiene to bring you the latest inshore, offshore, and nearshore action from across the coast. From sight fishing redfish around hard structure to freelining snapper high in the water column, the tactics are as varied as the conditions—because this season continues to keep anglers on their toes. Capt. Cody Broughton of Smokin Reels Fishing shares a strong offshore update, including an exciting daytime swordfish trip and early-season snapper success closer to shore than usual. Capt. Shane Traylor of Bonafide Inshore breaks down his approach to targeting trout and redfish in shifting water levels and tricky wind patterns. Capt. Matt Swiggum of Back Bay Charters joins from Orange Beach with intel on snapper suspended in the column, redfish in the eddies, and why he's building his own rods for the job. Whether you're dialing in your snapper rigs, scouting for tripletail, or thinking about investing in custom tackle, this week's show delivers valuable insight from the water.
