On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with the owner of MX Plugs—a custom lure maker with an incredible backstory and a serious passion for innovation. It all started with a broken plug he found lakeside. No hooks, no hardware—just potential. After cutting it in half, reshaping it, adding rattles and new hardware, he crafted a plug that actually caught fish. That spark of creativity launched a journey that took him from offshore shark and tuna charters to the creeks and bays of Long Island, chasing striped bass. Over the years, he’s honed his craft designing lures for everything from tuna and dolphin to freshwater bass, eventually leading him to start his own company, MX Plugs. Tune in as we dive into the art, science, and inspiration behind his one-of-a-kind creations.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
