Tom Rowland Podcast

This week I sat down with Monte Burke to discuss his new book, Lords of the Fly. I was lucky enough to get an early copy of the book and give it a read before our interview. This book features some of my all time heroes and tells the incredible story of chasing after the world record tarpon in the late 70’s and early 80’s in Homosassa, Florida. Monte traces the history of Saltwater Flyfishing. This is an incredibly interesting story, featuring legends like Steve Huff, Dale Perez, Lefty Kreh, Chico Fernandez, Mark Sosin, Stu Apte, Tom Evans, Flip Pallot, Billy Pate, Ralph Delph, tom McGuane, Jim Harrison, Russell Chattem, Guy De La Valdene, Ted Williams, Andy Mill, and many others who were responsible for early innovation or obsessed with catching the world record tarpon on the fly. This story is full of friendships and rivalries, some even escalating to sinking boats, ruining marriages, and much more. Monte really dives into this in his book, interviewing many of these people to get the exact story. Monte has a background of working for Forbes, where he learned the best way to get accurate information, and he does a ton of digging to make sure that he got this wild story fully accurate.

This week, we unbox and spool up the Daiwa Certate 4000 for a brand new Permit reel. I use a professional line winder to spool my reels. I know that not everybody has one of these, but I go over some of the reasons why it may be worth a few bucks to get your local tackle shop to spool yours up for you. We also go through using mono as backing (Why would you do that?) and attaching it to the braid to avoid any slipping. If you have any special tricks that you use when lining a new reel, be sure to tag me on Instagram @tom_rowland or @tom_rowland_podcast or email them to me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.comThis 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.

With a lot of gyms still closed, many people are trying to find creative ways to work out at home. Using your own body weight can be a great workout, but sometimes you want a little bit more of a challenge. That is when the weighted vest comes into play. You can do all of your same body weight workouts, but just with more of a challenge. The great thing about these weighted vests is that you can add or remove weight based on where you’re at. Email me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.com to let me know how you implement the weighted vest into your workouts.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 sat down with two young ladies that have an incredible story. Emily and Amanda Gale are two licensed captains from South Florida. They both grew up as competitive pole vaulters, and competed at the Division 1 level for the University of Miami. In this podcast, we talk about their competitive spirit, their upbringing, medical troubles, their transition into the fishing industry, and much more. They are both successful fishing guides, and because of coronavirus are currently full-time pursuing YouTube and are crushing it.

This week I answer another great question from Instagram, this time coming from @codyrubner. Cody asks, “what pieces of gear should upcoming guides always have in their boat?” In this episode I dig into some of the things that are crucial to preventing a day of guiding from going wrong. We talk about many different items that you can use as a backup when something goes wrong, whether that be a dead battery, a missing drain plug, a dead cell phone, and much more. We also discuss the need for a first aid kit. You can learn more about first aid on a podcast I did with Dr. Max Baumgardner by clicking the link here.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutThis 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.

People always ask me what kind of supplements I am taking, and I really only take one. When I am out on the water or doing anything that will result in a lot of sweating, I always drink plenty of water, and I will add in a supplement to replenish my electrolytes. I take Hammer Endurolytes, but there are a number of alternatives. What’s most important is that you stay hydrated and are able to replenish your electrolytes during a hot day in the sun.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutThis 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 talk with Dr. Jennifer Rehage and Carissa Gervasi about a number of environmental issues, actions, and efforts happening in southern Florida. We discuss the issues with water flow in the everglades, the health of Biscayne Bay, and their study on the Jack Crevalle. I really enjoyed this conversation and learned a ton about the efforts to save Biscayne Bay, as well as a ton of useful information about the Jack Crevalle. I think that you will learn a lot too, and be sure to share this with someone who you think would find it interesting.

@spookyskiff asks about solo fishing setups in a skiff on the flats.  I have spent a lot of time fishing by myself in a skiff.  It is challenging and highly unproductive at times, but with the right apraoch, equipment and some patience fish can be caught.  Check out this episode and share with a friend who may enjoy it as well.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutThis 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.

With the coronavirus shutting down gyms, many online retailers are completely sold out of equipment for home gyms. In this video we talk about a great workout with equipment that you can get at your local hardware store and junkyard. A sledgehammer workout can be a great high-intensity exercise that you can do right in your backyard. Combine this with burpees, squats, or a number of other exercises to ramp up the intensity. Let me know what variations of this workout you use by dropping a comment below or emailing me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.comThis episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comGet 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkoutGet 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP at checkoutThis 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.
