I go over 8 exercises today that require nothing more than a pullup bar.  Heck, it doesn’t even need to be a real pullup bar.  A jungle gym, playground equipment or any bar you can hang from will work.  Bar hang, Knees to Elbows, Toes To Bar, Dead Hang Pullup, Kipping Pullups, Clap Pullups, and the Muscle Up are all covered.  There is a video that goes with this episode that may help you to understand exactly what I am talking about in this episode.  Check out this link and subscribe to our Youtube channel to get a new video every week.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYqeBvehmMI&feature=youtu.beThis 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.

This week I had the chance to sit down with with my old friend Bob Bagby and discuss the sponsorship side of the fishing industry. Bob spent his career working with some of the biggest names in the fishing industry. Bill Dance, Shaw Grigsby, Kevin Van Dam, and yes, even Tom Rowland and many more. Bob has a unique perspective on sponsorships because his job was finding the right people to partner with and then maintain that relationship for years. We talk about what brands are looking for, what he looks for in a good person to sponsor, and how to provide value to brands. I hope that this episode is useful to those looking for sponsorship opportunities in the outdoor industry, and that you will share this podcast with anyone who would find this helpful.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.

Last week we discussed the best all-around fly rod. Today, we discuss the best all-around spinning rod for inshore fishing. If I had to pick one, I would go with a 7 foot, 8-17 pound rod with a moderate tip flex. For me, the go-to is the St. Croix Mojo Inshore. I would pair this with a 4000 size spinning rod. This setup is perfect for all around inshore fishing. Obviously different rod lengths and actions can be better for specific situations, but if you only want to get one rod for fishing inshore, this is what I would go with. It will help you land a number of different fish species, and can handle a variety of different situations. What else would you like to hear about for How 2 Tuesday?

Fishermen are notorious for having back problems.  It is a very physical activity that often requires heavy lifting and carrying heavy things.  This can cause issues, however the big issue that has caused back problems for me has been all the sitting.  Long drives to fishing locations, long rides on the boat and often a week of sitting in the office waiting to go fishing on the weekend can be the cause of chronic low back pain. When we sit for long periods we get “short’ in the front of the hip which can cause issues in the low back.  This week we discuss 3 crucial stretches for taking care of those tight hips. 3The first stretch that I go over I call the helm stretch because I do it while standing at the helm of my boat all the time.  You can use anything of the right height to do this stretch. I use two coolers for this example, but it is easy to find a gunnel or lean post on your boat that is the perfect height. The second stretch is the couch stretch. You can do this while you watch TV or with any item about the height of a couch. The third stretch is the lying hamstring stretch. I use any type of strap or band that I can find to do this stretch. All three of these are great ways to avoid or reduce lower back pain, and increase the time that you can spend out on the water.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.

This week I had the chance to sit down with Captain Rick Moore of the Sailing Sophisticated Lady vessel. Rick lives full time on a sailboat and has turned it into a full time career for himself between running charters and filming YouTube videos. Rick now has over 130,000 subscribers and is still growing. Rick has made his vessel fully self sustainable, and even did this podcast from his boat off the coast of Colombia. Rick is originally from Canada, and grew up doing a number of different jobs that has helped lead to his success on the water today. Rick has an incredible story about how he has been able to make this a reality. He also gave some of the best advice I have ever heard for anyone who wants to change career paths or wants to do something considered outside the box. If you have a desire to follow your dreams and make something unlikely your every day job, be sure to listen to this podcast to hear the full story and share it with someone else who may need to hear Rick’s advice.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.

In this week’s How 2 Tuesday, we talk about a question that I get very often, how to pick your first fly rod. I would divide this into two categories based on if you are fishing in freshwater or saltwater. If it’s freshwater. I would say to go with a 5wt. If you fish more saltwater, I would suggest a 9 or 10wt. In this episode we go into the reasoning behind that, so be sure to check it out! As always email me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.com or tag me on Instagram @tom_rowland with any How 2 Tuesday questions you may have, and I will try my best to answer 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.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.

This week is all about the importance of grip strength in fishing.  The farmer’s walk is an Old School exercise that has stood the test of time for a good reason…it works!   It is just like it sounds, you basically take something that is heavy and walk around with it. Just like everything else I do, this one does not require anything expensive or only available in a gym.  I fill up two 5 gallon buckets and take a few laps around my driveway. To make things harder, I also do this with heavy kettlebells. The Farmers Walk and Farmer’s Hold  are not flashy or new.  They are time tested and effective.  Throw this into your workout a couple of times a week and I promise that you will be able to hold that cast net longer, pull the anchor faster, carry more ice, lift heavier coolers all without hurting your back.  Plus, when we get back to shaking hands with each other you will crush people and make a great first impression.  Just don’t break anyone’s hands.  You will be COUNTRY STRONG!  Email me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.com or tag me on Instagram @tom_rowland with any creative ways that you use the farmer’s carry.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.

Fish live in the shade and around structure so they can ambush prey and also hide from other predators.  Skipping lures under docks, mangroves or any type of structure and can be very effective and every good fisherman should be well practiced at this and be able to do it.  There are some things that will make anyone better at it immediately.  Your choice of bait, rod, reel, line, leader will make as much difference as a ton of practice but the practice is equally important.We go over every part of a good skipping setup and then talk about where and how to practice this technique before getting out on the water.Big fish live in hard to fish areas.  Learn how to skip a lure waaaaaaaaayyyy back in the bushes.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 ascending/descending workout is a great way to keep workouts interesting. I like to create workouts that have 2 parts. On the first part the reps will decrease each round and on the other part the reps will increase. You feel great knowing that your next set will be less reps on the first part but you are also building reps on the other side. Try a couple of the variations I discuss in this episode and Let me know ways that you use this workout. Tag me on Instagram @tom_rowland or  by emailing me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.com.
