Real Truths-Leaders, Swivels & Fishing Report- Fishing Podcast
"Fluorocarbon Leader-Is it Worth It? " I kick off this weeks podcast focusing on the myths that fluorocarbon fishing line manufactures might be lying to the consumer and talk about ongoing debate between pink and clear fluorocarbon leaders. SatFish is an incredible tool that I use every day- fishing or not. And my quick tutorial in this podcast video will help you learn how to use it too. Still not signed up? and my affiliate code for $20 off is GOODKARMA. The fishing report I share also takes into account the moon cycle which can you learn more about with my $22 online course Solunar and Tide Planning. And Conquer the Weather is a FREE PDF that can help you as well. Click below. That leads into which ball bearing swivels I use when using monofilament fishing line for targeting mutton snappers and groupers. If you wish to learn more about how I construct my "new" stealth mutton snappers rigs. I recommend joining The Good Karma Rigging Crew 2.0 monthly online Facebook community ($25 a month) You will not find my rig or how I construct it on YouTube. Never buy pre-made mutton snapper rigs off the internet. And I close on some straight up Florida Keys fishing report facts for this coming week. I show you where to be. (I have been a captain here in The Florida Keys since 2011) and my podcast which is coming up on a six year anniversary (August 2018). Each week I will be adding more detail to these fishing reports.

Florida Keys Fishing Report, Weather, SatFish, New Lures and More

Florida Keys Fishing Report, Weather, SatFish, New Lures and More
"Fish don't have calendars." I kick off this week's episode of The Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast with a Florida Keys (Key Largo, Islamorada, Tavernier) fishing report (mahi mahi, mangrove snappers, and cubera snappers) that leads into how to use SatFish to increase your catch. SatFish is an incredible tool that I use every day- fishing or not. And my quick tutorial in this podcast video will help you learn how to use it too. Still not signed up? and my affiliate code for $20 off is GOODKARMA. The fishing report I share also takes into account the moon cycle which can you learn more about with my $22 online course Solunar and Tide Planning. And Conquer the Weather is a FREE PDF that can help you as well. Click below. My preferred way to mahi mahi aka dolphin (but not flipper) here in The Florida Keys is trolling. And for that, I use sea witches. If you wish to create your own, I recommend joining The Good Karma Rigging Crew 2.0 monthly online Facebook community ($25 a month) as I just put in a great video sharing how to make your own sea witch. But, if you don't wish to, or you are like me and choose to mix it up, try some of the cool lures I shared in this video from Gulf Stream Lures. They withstood the hair pull test live on this video which could have been a disaster for my recording if they didn't. The quality is incredible- hair, head, tying, so I am super excited to use these on the water and report after. And I close on some straight up facts about my fishing charters (I have been a captain here in The Florida Keys since 2011) and my podcast which is coming up on a six year anniversary (August 2018).

How to Find Fish Anywhere Consistently and SatFish Tips
Do you have a blueprint that works to find fish consistently? Most anglers do not have a blueprint. They just hop in their boat, head out for the day, and hope to find some debris. Unfortunately, everything is changing so rapidly now that this "strategy" is very outdated. This episode of the Good Karma Sportfishing & Coaching Podcast shares, via video, SatFish views and what I look for that contributes to my success on the water with my fishing charters. I share examples of The Florida Keys, however these SatFish examples can be used to understand how to create your own blueprint, the why behind things, for your where (you fish). I highly recommend SatFish and am an affiliate. My 8 Week Courses also share more about how to use SatFish so check them out as well. https://www.satfish.com $20 off code is GOODKARMA The Good Karma Rigging Crew 2.0 is a monthly online Facebook Community and I talk about it more in this episode.
