Tom Rowland Podcast

Last week, we discussed how to choose the best landing net for your fishing situation. This week we are talking about the most effective way to use a landing net. A landing net is a great tool to have in your boat to decrease the stress on the fish and safely and efficiently catch and release a fish. If you do not use a net the proper way, it could result in you losing the fish. Too many times I have seen net being used improperly, and the line ends up getting wrapped around the net, resulting in a lost fish. I tell you 3 things that will help land more fish1. The proper position you should be in while waiting for your shot2. The position you should NEVER be in and why3. What you need the angler to do to close the deal Using the net properly can result in many more landed fish, and will also increase the survival rate of the fish, so be sure to check out this episode to guarantee the most success out on the water. Do you keep a landing net in your boat? Let me know your netting techniques by emailing me at podacst@saltwaterexperience.comHere are the nets that I prefer: The Frabill Power Stow and Trophy Haul.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.

Last week we talked about ACCURACY, as step 2 of the 4 step process for anyone to get back in shape. So now, after listening to this series, you are: CONSISTENT with your exercise. We discussed how to develop a habit that is easier to do than not to do.  We talked about making it fun and including accountability partners.  IF YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO PART 1 AND 2, PLEASE STOP AND GO BACK  With this CONSISTENCY, we added in ACCURACY. This is where you might get a coach or educate yourself on how to do every movement perfectly.   This week we will be adding in INTENSITY. Once you have CONSISTENCY AND ACCURACY, you are ready for the next step. If you really want to take your workouts to the next level, INTENSITY is the way to do it. Listen to todays episode to understand INTENSITY and how to apply it to whatever type of workout you have chosen.Stay tuned for next week when we will talk about the final step, RECOVERY.If this has helped you, be a superhero to someone else who may benefit and share this with them.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 the Legendary George Poveromo. George has been on television for 20 years now, hosting “George Poveromo’s World of Saltwater Fishing” which now airs on The Discovery Channel.George and I have a lot in common  from the Television world, and he has some crazy stories.  He shared one which was nearly his last.  While fishing with Capt Nick Stanzyk, he was pulled in by a swordfish and thought he was going to lose his life.  We share some other great stories including how he and his father used to go to the Marquesas Keys when he was just a kid and many more in this podcast, so be sure to listen all the way through to hear everything we talk about!  If you are a fan of George, share this podcast with someone you watched his shows with.  Tag us both on Instagram and let him know you listened.  Follow George on Instagram, Facebook, and 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.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.

“What is the best landing net for saltwater fishing?” And “DO I even need a landing net for saltwater fishing?” I got both of these questions recently so I thought I’d dedicate todays episode to giving my 2 cents.  Today we start part 1 of a 2 part series on landing nets. First, I am going to go over the attributes of a landing net that are important to me and why those same attributes may be things you want to consider.  With this in mind, I describe and even say by name the net I consider to be the perfect landing net for me.   Here are some of the things I consider when looking at a net: How big of a net can I fit in my boat? Could I get a bigger net in my boat if it folded? Does the Handle Telescope? What is the net material?  Which material is the best on the fish? Is it strong enough to lift the fish I am trying (or hoping) to catch? Is it made for saltwater? With all this in mind, we go down the retail path of a net and I show you exactly which one I prefer and why.A landing net is a tool that I always keep in my boat. It is a great way to get fish in quickly, which in return leads to a better survival rate when we release fish. A landing net is a great way to release fish as well without even taking them out of the water. In this episode, I go over two of my favorite nets, the Frabill Power Stow and the Trophy Haul. We discuss the things that I like about these nets for certain situations and what size and length will work best for you. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to be notified when next week’s episode goes live, where we will be discussing how to use these nets.Next week we will discuss the tips and techniques to use your landing net for the most success with getting your fish in the boat.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.

Last week we talked about how to develop CONSISTENCY as the first step in your road to fitness. In this episode, we talk about the second step in the process, ACCURACY. In order to make the most out of your workout, you want to make sure that you are doing all of the movements and exercises correctly. This may require getting a coach, or even something as simple as watching some YouTube videos.  Doing 20 perfect pushups can be a lot better for you than doing 100 pushups with bad form. If you are going to put in the time to work out, you want to make sure that you are making the most out of it, you owe it to yourself. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you will be notified when we talk about step 3 of 4, which is INTENSITY.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.

We also talk about public land etiquette, rules and regulations, and things to avoid when you are out there.

Today, I answer a question from a listener.  “How do I pick a bonefish fly?”  I open my bonefish box and go through 8 flies that I would feel unprepared without.  We go over the most important quality in selecting a fly; sink rate.  I show the different flies and organize them based on sink rate from slowest to fastest.  Is it more important to have a variety of different flies or a variety of sink rates?  I go over the answer and how I have prepared for trips around the world.  You can have a bonefish fly box that will help you to be successful wherever you go.Video and photos by @jasonstemplephoto and @bonefishbluffThis 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.
