  • Fish Crazy

    Peter has a great style in the store and at shows, but he has found his stride interviewing others on fishing. His episode with Bob Popovic covers an amazing era. While flies and materials change, the story of the Love of the Bite is universal. He has a self effacing interview style that puts his guest at ease. And he knows when to listen to let an answer develop.

    Thank you for taking the time to get these stories recorded and out for others to enjoy.

  • Good topics

    Good material but choppy editing, and the interviewing needs work. Saying yes mhmm after every question asked, as if the answer to the question was already known gets old quick.

  • Informative and great content from the best.

    The podcasts topics are really insightful and give the listener a lot to chew on and develop into their own fishing regimen. Would love to if possible, have tyer, photographer, and writer Dave Skok as a guest on the podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Albie Snax to 14-Inch Spooks: Lure Design with Alex Peru
Q: How did the ZipDisc come about and what was its impact beyond fishing?
The ZipDisc started from a curiosity about mini, aerodynamic stones and, while initially a fishing gadget, conceptually inspired broader product development and branding, including spin-offs like Clobber.
From Albie Snax to 14-Inch Spooks: Lure Design with Alex Peru
Q: What convinced you to pursue the dual-mode (rig and cast) approach for these lures?
Creating a lure with more plastic increased casting distance and durability without adding undesirable weight, and the dual-mode design allowed a compact form that still performed like a heavier body when casting and in the water.
From Albie Snax to 14-Inch Spooks: Lure Design with Alex Peru
Q: When did the Albie Snax first come to market and how did the idea evolve from earlier lures?
The concept began while iterating on weightless soft plastics and capping the design with a cylindrical, high-volume plastic body; the Albie Snax emerged as a more versatile, better-casting option that still mimicked natural baitfish.
The Rest of the Story: Rhode Island's Bonito & False Albacore Decision with Tony Friedrich
Q: What went wrong in the hearing process, and how do you plan to move forward from this setback?
We discovered that the data presented at hearings did not accurately reflect the numbers we provided to Rhode Island DEM, and there were alleged misrepresentations about our proposed plan. The process felt stacked and unprofessional, which prompted a commitment to full transparency, to publish data, and to re-engage advocates and fishermen with a clearer, science-backed plan for the next rulemaking window.
The Rest of the Story: Rhode Island's Bonito & False Albacore Decision with Tony Friedrich
Q: Can you break down the original Rhode Island proposal and why you initially settled on a three-fish limit?
The proposal started with a three-fish limit to reflect Rhode Island's own commercial and recreational landings data for Albies and Bonito. After hearings, there was significant pushback, so we reconsidered and moved toward five fish to align more closely with neighboring states and to provide relief for the charter community, while still trying to prevent a large-scale fishery opening that would threaten the stock.
