Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Golden Tile, Tough Tuna Fishing and Inside the World of Commercial Scallop Fishing!
Q: What does being a commercial scallop fisherman mean to you?
It's a demanding but rewarding industry, highly regulated, with a focus on providing a wild-caught product from USA waters and feeding the world.
Tuna, White & Blue Marlin, Cobia, Mackerel & Hooked on Hope
Q: How do you execute a safe and successful landing of a big cobia onboard?
Use the boat's extra space and controls to keep the fish within a safe path, coordinate with the mate, maintain tension, keep the head toward the current, and choose moments when to net to prevent losing the fish.
Tuna, White & Blue Marlin, Cobia, Mackerel & Hooked on Hope
Q: What kind of boat do you run and what are you specialized in with Wingman Guide Service?
A 36-foot Chesapeake Bay Deadrise capable of handling bow-touring cagey offshore trips and inshore bays, with a tower for spotting and educating clients about cobia, red drum, and mackerel inshore and offshore trips.
Giant Cobia, Tog, Seabass & Triggerfish, plus Jet Ski fishing
Q: What gear setup works best for staying on wrecks with a jet ski?
A 12-volt trolling motor setup with a lithium battery provides spot-lock-like stability, a larger deck for movement, and light overall weight, making it practical for short to mid-length trips.
Giant Cobia, Tog, Seabass & Triggerfish, plus Jet Ski fishing
Q: How do you approach landing large cobia from a jet ski without losing them at the net?
Maintain distance, cast repeatedly around buoys, use a circle hook for live bait, and employ a patient reeling approach with steady tension rather than yanking, plus careful netting technique with experienced crew to avoid losing the fish at the last moment.
