Lake Babcock is not a big lake by any means. It's a mere 300 acres. In fact, you're not allowed to use a gas-powered motor. Captain Debbie Hanson had an electric trolling motor and oars to get us from one tried and true spot to the next.  The bite was tough. A cold snap had just moved through. Even the gators were lethargic. We were using my favorite baits that I use back home in Nashville on Percy Priest when the bite is tough- a Yamamoto Senko and the trusty Ned Rig. (Quick side note about the Senko I learned from Jen Ripple of DUN Magazine one night over dinner...it was inspired by an ink pen! Mr. Yamamoto looked at this pen, thought this would make a great bait and used it as the mold! Look at the Senko next time- it looks just like an ink pen!).  Our last stop was a spot we'd tried earlier where Debbie knew a couple big bass like to hang out. It was near one of the floating docks. You had to get the bait in just the right spot...after a couple of casts BOOM! I was lucky enough to catch a beautiful Redear

On this, our first-ever episode recorded while actually out on a boat fishing (and catching!), I visit with the very talented and independent Captain Stacy Horak. We're on the beautiful Crystal River just north of Homosassa, FL catching speckled trout and redfish. We hope you'll feel like you're right there in the boat with us while Stacy shares her incredibly inspirational story of her journey becoming a guide and charter captain. Motivated by a limiting belief her daughter had that woman can't drive boats, Stacy set out to show her daughter and the world that not only can women drive boats, they can be successful anglers and guides too. Now she's passing what she's learned along to other aspiring female anglers by hosting monthly seminars at Homosassa Marine. Check it out!

On this week's episode, Ana Leschishin (say Leschishin three times fast...we dare you!) a.k.a. Ana on Ice is our special guest. We've been wanting to have her on the show for quite some time and the timing couldn't have been more perfect because we were able to meet up in person.  Ana takes us behind-the-scenes on what it's like to work in marketing for Outdoor Bound TV. We also talk a good deal about ice fishing, specifically up in Manitoba- which is not for the faint of heart. We talk about Manitoba's "fish first" practices via the use of barbless hooks and other means, and how there'd be something to gain if that would catch on in the States.  It was a fun conversation we know you're going to enjoy!

"I could hurt just as much sitting at home trying to choose between one TV show or one movie I've already seen or what-have-you OR be in the same amount of pain but go out and experience trying to catch a fish, listening to the eagles, watching a deer, looking at loons, just watching leaves and listening to the wind or the rustle of corn leaves or the flow of grass. Those seem like small things, but in my life they're huge." -Allison Roberts If you have physical challenges that have been holding you back from living life to the fullest, this is a great episode for you to listen to for some major motivation and inspiration. Meet die-hard angler, Allison Roberts. After an injury at work, Allison is now forced to walk with two forearm crutches, but she doesn't let that hold her back. Not even from ice fishing.

Picture this. It's a sweltering hot, windy day in the Everglades. You're covered head to toe in UV protective clothing to avoid getting sunburned on top of the sunburn you already have from the fishing outing a couple of days earlier (lesson learned the hard way!). You're fishing the flats with a super experienced captain and guide and you're paired up with an airforce vet who traveled all the way down from Alaska to be a part of this amazing adventure. The fishing's been hard due to the windy conditions and the partly cloudy skies. It's finally time to break for lunch. Then...the unthinkable happens... You'll have to listen to this week's episode to get "the rest of the story!" This week you'll meet Katie Puterbaugh. She's a die-hard fly angler, a Florida native but a retired airforce veteran that's made her home in Alaska for the past 25 years with her husband, also a retired airforce vet. He works at a local fishing shop and is a scoutmaster for the local Boy Scout troop, which affords Katie a lot of free
