Lao Tzu said, “Correct the mind and the rest of your life will fall into place”.  This applies to our April Challenge fairly well.  The April Challenge is: The 100 Day Burpee Challenge.  Add 1 burpee a day for 100 days.We are pairing this challenge with the Wim Hof 40 Day Quarantine Challenge.  Find the complete description here.Each of these challenges helps us to work on discipline as well as giving us the opportunity to clear the mind through moving meditation and breathing exercises.  By calming the mind, we can be clear-headed and rational.  Devoting time to this practice every day will help to correct the mind and if Lao Tzu is correct, the rest of our lives will fall into place.This week we have:Tuesday - How2Tuesday with Scott WalkerTuesday 12 Noon on @saltwater_experience I will do a live podcast with Cameron Kirkconnell, the best spearfisherman in the worldWednesday - Kyle Gemas - Pursuit of the largest freshwater fish in the world…on flyThursday - Troy Casey - Certified Health Nut and Ripped at 50Friday - How to pole a boat, exercises to get stronger, maintain and heal your shoulders, how to pick the right pole and how to train your gripGoing to be a great week.  I’ll leave you with this quote “Grit is the 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality.”Travis Bradberry - BiographerGet 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.

Boat Ramps, Public Parks, Marinas, Playgrounds are closed due to the Coronavirus.  New research shows that direct sunlight is the most effective means of killing the Coronavirus.  Could this mean that we can reopen these areas for fishing, working out or playing outside?

On one of my first episodes, I tracked down a gentleman who was preparing to do a race that was extreme…even to me. The race was a 3,000-mile rowing race across The Atlantic Ocean! He was doing it to raise awareness of the issues that veterans struggle with like PTSD, veteran suicide, and depression.This issue is particularly close to his heart because he is a former special forces member himself. Tim Crockett is today’s guest and his organization is called TameTheKracken. Over a year ago, Tim crossed the finish line of this 3000 mile race and we will catch up with him to hear some stories and find out how he overcame some significant struggles along the way.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Get 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.

Trolling motors have become quieter over time and we have started to use them more and more inshore and offshore to catch bait eliminates the anchor in certain situations. It has become a really valuable tool and in my pursuit to be able to use the trolling motor all day I have gone through a bunch of different iterations of batteries and chargers. This year we had a breakthrough.We have a Power-Pole charger that charges on the go while we are running it is topping off the start battery and the house battery and any excess charge that the motor is creating is going into the trolling motor batteries. In addition to that, we have gone over to the Lithium Pro Batteries which is a different technology.If you know anything about batteries you'll know that there are several different types. AGM, Gel, Lead Acid, and now Lithium batteries. Each battery type will have advantages and drawbacks of course. We decided to go with the Lithium Pro batteries because they are incredibly lightweight and can be mounted in very different types of places and they charge really quickly. These batteries operate at max until they die and we are able to charge on the go now as well.I had my friend Joe Cubberly come in and talk to me about how to take care of these new batteries. He walks us through basic charging and how to charge different types of batteries. Some batteries it is advantageous to "float charge" which means you charge it and leave it, but others that approach can damage the battery. Joe walks us through how to maintain your battery properly.I also will say that Joe really cares about making sure you get the best use out of your batteries - he drove 14 hours to come to diagnose a loose cable for me just to make sure I was comfortable with the battery and getting the best use out of it.Check out Lithium Pros @lithiumprosAlso check out the full-length podcast we did with Joe HERE.Get 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.

These Physical Friday podcasts have been a lot of fun for me to go through old workouts that I used to do and trying to find as many workouts that you could do with as little equipment as possible. I will be doing a live workout today at 4pm EST on my instagram (@tom_rowland) and my Facebook (Tom Rowland) and my Youtube (permitfly4). You can tune in on any of those and join me in a quarantine workout! Today I found 3 workouts that you could do in a small apartment with no equipment and one of them is from Gregor Gillespie (UFC fighter) and the other two I think you will enjoy as well.Workout 1This workouts is a ladder workout where you will do a number of burpees and then follow that with 10 sit ups. I start with 20 burpees and do 10 sit ups. Then do 19 burpees and 10 sit ups. You will go all the way down until you do 1 burpee and 10 sit ups. Time yourself and see what you are able to get!Workout 2If you have access to stairs - do 10 pushups at the bottom of the stairs, run up the stairs and do 10 pushups as the top. You can do this for 10 rounds or do as many rounds as is challenging for you. You could find a parking garage, your in your house, or use the apartment complex stairs.Workout 3This one you could use a dumbbell, or a big container of laundry detergent or a cooler... Find something heavy (I use a 50 pound dumbbell) and you will do the magic 50. With one arm you will do (5) snatches, (5) swings and (10) burpees and you will do it for 5 rounds as fast as you can possibly go.Get 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.

Captain Scott Walker and I talk about some of the do's and don'ts of reef fishing while we can tuna in his kitchen. The Florida Keys have reefs 4 miles out, easily accessible. Because they are easily accessible you need to be courteous because there will be many boats out there trying to fish. Charter boats are out there trying to make a living and you are out there to make your friends and family happy. The biggest mistake I see is how much chum you bring when going fishing. Before you even set out make sure that you are taking enough chum. Chum and they will come. The commercial blocks of chum are very bulky, Scott uses 7-pound blocks and uses a dedicated cooler for chum and fills it up with as much as he can. Reefs support a lot of fish and chum holds them there - so when you pull up, if boats are already lined up, keep your distance (about 50-75 yards) and set your anchor out in front of your boat so when you come tight you will be stern to stern with the other boats. For yellowtail you want to be 35-90 feet deep, Mangrove Snappers you want to find rock piles in Hawks Channel. They could be as close as 1-2 miles off the beach. You just have to consult local charter boats and check your charts. Wherever you have hard rocks, grass, and sand - you chum it and the mangroves will be there.
