Tom Rowland Podcast

This week I had a very special guest on the podcast. Adrian Smith is the guitarist of one of the most popular rock bands of all time, Iron Maiden. Many do not know that Adrian also has a passion for fishing, so much so that he just released a book on fishing, titled “Monsters of River and Rock”. I had the chance to read the book and loved it. In the podcast, we talk about stories from the book, I talk to Adrian about touring and using travel for the band as a way to fish new areas, and Adrian gives us a unique perspective of life as both a rock and roll guitarist, and a passionate fisherman. You’ll definitely want to tune in for this episode. This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comEmpire Boat Covers - Protect All The Things You Love - empirecovers.com/TRPBoat Hammock Stands - Comfortable Boating Awaits - boathammockstand.comThis episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Whether you live way up north, or down in the south, the change of the seasons usually means doing some sort of preparatory maintenance on your boat. Whether that be winterizing the motor, preparing the batteries, or covering it for the season, there are always good ways to ensure that your boat will stay in the best condition. Down in South Florida, we don’t have to worry about the cold as much, but we do have to make sure that it is well protected from the sun and the salt. In this episode we have a special guest, Scott Shimtov of Empire Boat Covers on to tell us about the importance of using a cover in the offseason. We discuss different cover options, and why you want to keep your boat protected with a cover. If you are going to spend a lot of money on a boat, you should invest in a good way to protect it.

Climbing a rope is a great way to build strength in your grip, arms shoulders back and core.  It is an old school tool used by wrestlers, gymnasts, the military and CrossFit to quickly develop strength needed for each activity.  Besides building strength, knowing how to climb a rope can save your life in the outdoors. Many people only use their arms when climbing rope, but if you are going for speed, efficiency, or survival, using your legs can make a huge difference. In this episode, we go through the technique to using your legs to climb the rope. Using friction and proper foot lock, this can greatly increase your speed and efficiency of climbing to the top. If you are listening on audio, we have a video of this podcast as well.

This week we take another question from Instagram, talking about tips and techniques to have success catching juvenile (baby) goliath grouper in the mangroves. This is a perfect time to talk about this, because we target these fish in the first episode of the 2021 Saltwater Experience season. All of the techniques and tackle are still fresh on my mind, and I broke down everything that you need to know to have success catching these fish. Be sure to check out the video podcast from this episode for a sneak peek of the 2021 Saltwater Experience season, available on YouTube.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comEmpire Boat Covers - Protect All The Things You Love - empirecovers.com/TRPBoat Hammock Stands - Comfortable Boating Awaits - boathammockstand.comThis episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

The exercise called the Burpee is the foundation of my fitness.  The burpee is really a very simple exercise but it is a difficult exercise that many people do not like.  You basically throw yourself on the ground on your chest and do a pushup and get back to your feet and jump off the ground.  While it is a simple and effective exercise, not everyone is ready to just start doing full burpees.  If you are not ready to throw yourself on the ground, don’t worry, there are ways that you can use progressions to get from not being able to complete a burpee to being comfortable with the full burpee.  In this week’s episode, I break down a simple progression of steps that will bring you all the way to a full burpee. Check out these progressions and jump in where you are able.  You can take this as fast or as slow as you want. If you are not ready to move on to the next step of this progression, continue the steps that you can complete until you feel strong and confident enough to continue. If you continue to work on the burpee you will eventually be ready to tackle the 100 day burpee challenge that we have done through this podcast.  Be sure to send this to someone who might find it helpful.Check out the video podcast HERE.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comEmpire Boat Covers - Protect All The Things You Love - empirecovers.com/TRPBoat Hammock Stands - Comfortable Boating Awaits - boathammockstand.comFishing Points - 30% off A Yearly Subscription - tomrowlandpodcast.com/pointsThis episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Joe Gugino lives in Massachusetts and has a ton of experience chasing striper. This is a species of fish that I have very little experience with, so it was very interesting to learn about the fishing, the culture, the issues that they are facing, and much more. One thing that really intrigued me from this conversation was the issues that arise with dealing with multiple states regulating a migratory fish. In this case, 13 different states. We talk about this, fishing tactics, and even some deep sea fishing in this episode. Be sure to share this with someone who you think would be interested in learning more about striper.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comEmpire Boat Covers - Protect All The Things You Love - empirecovers.com/TRPBoat Hammock Stands - Comfortable Boating Awaits - boathammockstand.comFishing Points - 30% off A Yearly Subscription - tomrowlandpodcast.com/pointsThis episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

This week I had the chance to sit down with Capt. Ryan Nitz. We had Ryan on the show a few weeks ago to talk about public land hunting, but what he is best known for is the massive snook that he targets. That is exactly what we are talking about today. I ask him many questions in this episode that will be helpful for the beginning angler to get on some snook, but will also be helpful for the more seasoned angler to find those bigger snook, and have success landing them. We go over tackle choice, leader and hook setup, and fish locations to help you have more success finding those trophy sized snook.

For the past three weeks we have talked about the different steps to your road to fitness. We started with CONSISTENCY, then discussed ACCURACY. Last week we talked about INTENSITY, and this week we are discussing the final step, RECOVERY. This step is crucial to your extended health and ends up leading right back into consistency. If you do not recover correctly and get injured, then you will not be able to be consistent with your workouts. Recovery can mean a number of things, and I suggest you take a look at some resources offered by online coaches. Kelly Starrett is a great resource and has a book on recovery called “Becoming a Supple Lepoard”. Sleep is another crucial step to recovery. Enhancing your sleeping environment (your bedroom) can lead to you being well rested, resulting in better fitness recovery. Matthew Walker has a great book on this called “Why We Sleep”. Did you like this 4 part series?

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Mike Kimmel, who is more commonly known as The Python Cowboy. Mike is contracted by the state of Florida to help remove many different invasive species including pythons, iguanas, hogs, and many other species. Earlier this year, Mike caught a new Florida record python, measuring over 17 feet in length. Mike was bitten by the python during the capture and filmed the whole experience. You can see that video here. During this podcast, we discussed many issues that Florida is having with wildlife conservation and what Mike is doing to combat it. Be sure to listen to the full podcast, because we get into some crazy stories from Mike’s adventures. This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comEmpire Boat Covers - Protect All The Things You Love - empirecovers.com/TRPBoat Hammock Stands - Comfortable Boating Awaits - boathammockstand.comFishing Points - 30% off A Yearly Subscription - tomrowlandpodcast.com/pointsThis episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.
