Don's in here. But we got we got a guest coming.
We got Burt coming in, Bert Bert Delicious, Bert Williams
of Monarch Group and is coming in to sit with
us and chat too. I'm sure we're gonna have a
lot of great things to talk about with him fishing
being one part of it. But we are in the

(03:24):
studio here at Pond Roach and it's a nice morning, y'all.
We don't even have the pan on. It's it's a
nice wanting not to be on the water. Well, are
we going to change that here in just a little bit?
Or what's the weather looked like? You give me to
you give me your forecast.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
My forecast is it's gonna be like this until six
o'clock to seen.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Him off and on.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, just you know it's not raining right the second,
but it will be in ten.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well that that's okay, that's understandable. Now I had you
down to do our weather now for the first time,
I like my weather brick for the first time, for
the first time in five hundred and forty six weeks
of the radio show. I have an outline. I have
an outline over here, and this is gonna make it.

(04:11):
This is gonna suck. I don't follow instructions. I know,
I know, but I wanted I do know that we
missed a how many times have we gotten the truck
Tony leaving somewhere and go, dude, we did not talk
about this like a bunch, like something big that we
were supposed to talk about. We've done it one hundred times.
So I was always told by my former golf pro

(04:32):
at my first job that if you write it down,
you don't forget it. That's true, and it was amazing
how many times he proved me right on that. And
Don mentioned Stickett notes earlier. The sticket notes were his thing.
If you write it three times, it's in your brain.
I try that with Russ on his words and he
made a hundred this week, So maybe it's working well. Shift.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
When you're doing a recipe, it's kind of important that
you write that down it body.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yep, because the next time I do it, I'll say,
what was that?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Pull that in a little closer there.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
I didn't hear him all.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, we didn't hear you at all. Okay, there we go,
there we go.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Yeah, let's say every time I do it.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Chip's not used to slumming like with this headset Mike,
you know, Chips get set up at his studio is
like these real nice mics to swing around and like
everything else, you just sit in your chair and come
up to your face. So we're we're slumming it with
the redneck want to be Pilot microphones over or NASCAR's

(05:29):
Nascar headphones.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
A joy to be here was my goal to be
on the five hundred and forty sixth show.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
There you go, You have it. Isn't that crazy? Though?
I started thinking about it because I heard so many
people talk about how many shows they had done, and
then I heard, uh, just this week, Mark Zona was
on with Dave Mercer. Mark obviously one of the hosts
of bast Live and without a doubt. And how many
other movies was he in because of it? I bet

(05:55):
people can't name them all. I know one I can name,
and it was that show that Tackle Shop or whatever,
where the guy tries to compete in the bass tournaments
against everybody. Zona was in that. He was in a
couple of others, but anyway, he retired from Bass Masters,
and he was talking about all his books of notes
over the years, and I said, you know, that would
be fun to have, like literally to go back and look.

(06:18):
But it also helps keep you on track, especially when
you're a two hour live radio show. So well, the
first time in five hundred and forty six weeks. I
have an outline here now, Am I gonna stick to it? No?
I doubt it, But we're gonna try. And what I
have lined up here is today we're also going to
be given our other two of our other partners who

(06:39):
are not here. Matt Varnador not included. He's over there working.
But two of our other partners, Oh, he's in Clemson
Tiger right the road. He's on the road. But two
of our other partners, Captain Season Burton and Captain Chris Reagan,
are in Beautifert fishing the Southern Redfish Cup event roy

(07:01):
And this morning they sent us a video from obviously,
as all fishermen, we love our country, and they were
listening to the national anthem before they blasted off, and
it was raining, yes, and it's going to continue to
rain today. Looks like it. Something about the word tournament
and rain seems to go together. It seems to go together. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
I was chuching wi him last night with Jason last
night and they were kind of bummed out. They didn't
do much yesterday and I kind of I threw them
some bones and some pins all right.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
From down that way, We're gonna we're gonna really get
into that intel and that skinny and things of that nature,
because I think Tony, with the recent announcement of bass Masters,
that they're opening up public however you want to call it,
what do you call it public intel or the skinny

(07:55):
where these anglers can now actually solicit information on till
January or through January. I don't know why they can't
do it. Now. I agree with you strongly, and that's
what this is going to be my argument. Okay, I'm
arguing for it. It's the hardest thing in bass for
them to police. It's the hardest rule that they will
ever try to police.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Every tournament I ever fished in, I went to get
some skinny. It was never a tournament that king fishing
or rid fishing or what that you weren't trying to
get some skinny as part of as part of what
you did. The successful teams in king fishing back in
the day when I was doing it well, the guys
had the best intel and skinny and network on the dock.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I mean, I don't understand that rule. Here's what I
want to know. I want to know why. And for
the most part anymore, some of these King Michael tournaments,
you can win more than what they're went in the past.
Master's elite in an event, okay some of them, you
know that. And why is it perfectly fine for us

(09:00):
to make a phone call to a commercial fisherman off
a Morehead to find out and and and to call
Joe Schmoe guide down in Hilton Head to talk to him.
Why is it perfectly fine in the salt water for
us to do it? And everything? It's there's the only
thing we can't do, like today when we try to
attempt to call Jason in them and of course if
it's rain and they're not gonna answer, I'm sure, but

(09:21):
we're gonna attempt to call them. And the with with Chris,
the tournament director, I agreed and guarantee that we weren't
going to give any intel on the day of the tournament.
They cannot get intel. This is their this is the
rule I saw it. You can't you can't call in
somebody to a spot, that's right, and you can't. Well no,
they I think they can talk together, but they can't

(09:44):
talk outside, which goes right back to bass masters. What
do you mean by talk? Who's talking to whom? Like
Chris could call Justin, Like Jason and Chris could call
Justin and Caleb another team that we have down there
by the way, m IFC. They can call each other,
but they can't get outside. So listen out side help
during the tournament.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
So like say, my brothers down there fishing in the tournament,
but he's not in the tournament. Okay, he can't call
right right, that's another one.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
How you police that? I mean, how do you please
it with a polygraph? And let me tell you, let's
talk about the poly I mean, has that become a topic? Yes?
I mean, listen, it goes without saying, and everybody knows
by now, our good buddy Jordan JT. Tonkins, you know,
failed the polygraph. He passed the polygraph. He passed the

(10:32):
question that was the whole reason for the polygraph that
he took. He passed it, which was he was accused
of something that he did not do and was not
involved in. He passed it. But he failed another question
that actually technically he really didn't cheat. He didn't do it.
He did it in time, He did it when it

(10:52):
was open for him to get information. But the polygraph
said that it's he missed it.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
It's an open ended it's not defined as to tom frame,
which means that have you ever it?

Speaker 3 (11:09):
So have you? Have you in the past x amount
of months ago? But have you ever? And he told
the truth, Yes, I have. But it was legal last
year for anyone that is listening, it was legal up
to one month. One month. Okay, I'm sorry. They had
just changed the rule. They just changed the rule. Okay,
I got you. Yeah, So if I asked if that

(11:31):
rule was retroactive, now you got to think that the
retroactive if you say so. They had changed the rule
for the open anglers to get way points on lakes.
They did it a month before he took his polygraph.
He did it a year ago when it was legal.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
If if I ask you, have you ever and you
did it a year ago, the answer is yes, exactly
if you said, if you if you brought it down
to when the rule change as of let's say August first.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Have you know?

Speaker 5 (12:06):
I haven't, right, But the way that the question was
asked to him was just so broad that he told
the truth. But yet in the tournaments, in the written
in the tournament, and then it hung him.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
You know.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
And the thing is he hadn't done anything wrong, that's right,
but the way the way it's written, the way the
guy get administered to test, it's just not no. And
I'll say this, and Tony Uh may feel differently, and
I doubt it, but I completely support JT and backing
and I think, yeah, I'm with you on that.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I'll tell you this much. People like Bouncer Smith, who
I mean, Bouncer only knows Jordan's through me and through
what he heard, and then through listening to a couple
of podcasts, because I reached out to Bouncer for some advice,
you know, to help JT and try to figure out
the best way to navigate all of this right now.

(13:06):
And even Bouncer feels like there's no way the young
man cheated. And and you know again, we Tony and
I were listening to another podcast UH on YouTube earlier
and they were talking about it, the fact that these
young guys were able to get these waypoints and and

(13:26):
and all this skinny on these other lakes prior to
the season. It pissed off the older anglers. It pissed
off the older guys, and rightfully it should, yep, because
it was Bass's fault and what it was. When you're
an equ angler, you're fishing opens, you're trying to qualify

(13:47):
for the elites to fish on the Bass Masters. You're
not an elite angler, so you're not confined as their rules.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
Because you're not, because you're not you're not on the gene.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, exactly. So you can get information on these lakes
and you can get way points and stuff like that,
but once you make the team, you can't. You can't anymore.
So here's what happened, like right now. So the schedule
came out yesterday exactly. The new schedule azed of a

(14:22):
month before the tournament. That's when that changed.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
How about you could not get the skinny outside of
the tournament, guys, Is that when it changed to.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
It changed about a month and a half, almost two
months now ago they changed that. So that has not
been a steadfast rule over the years, is now. No.
They put that new rule in six after six tournaments
that already been fishing. Yeah, after the tournament's already been
fished because of the older Gosh, a group of guys

(14:52):
like us, yeah, like all every single one of us. Yeah, well,
it's not fair these kids could go fish Lake Champlain
for forty five straight days and learn this lake top
to bottom, inside and out. But the elite anglers that
they're competing against now couldn't do that. Why because of

(15:16):
the way the rules written, they was allowed to go
do it up until the moment they qualified to be
in the.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Basketmall, why don't they make it complicated? Yeah, well, well
we'll make it a little more complicated.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
You know when you throw in the complete chaos that
forward facing sonar is calting right now in the world
of pass fasion, pass vision is a complete poop show
right now. It is.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
I mean, the thing about it is, these guys are
paying to do this.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Thank you. Here we go. Here's another point.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yes there, I mean they're paying to be abused.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
You know what I mean. I don't get it. You
know what, Fred golf, until five to six years ago,
there was an entry fee. It was so minimal. It
was like two hundred dollars. It was a joke, maybe
five hundred at that point. And if you finish last,
you're still gonna make money. You're still know not in golf,
you didn't get anything back in golf. If you may

(16:16):
have missed a cut, you don't get a job. I mean,
if you made the feel you're getting paid, Oh yeah,
absolutely so. But now there's no interview that left bass
fishing as the only professional sport where an athlete has
to pay to participate. So you tell me how. I mean,
Kevin van Dam, who is rightfully so and probably the

(16:37):
best of all time, when he wants to fish in
a tournament, he has to pay an entry. I don't
get it. I don't get it. I mean, you classify
these guys and they're paying an entry to an organization
that controls how they can do what they do right.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Plus with the TV income, which is where they're making
their money, they're making all that money off their talent.
Why are they charging the anglers? Who are the elites?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Thinking?

Speaker 5 (17:03):
I don't get it. I don't And why don't they
make it more complicated?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
And you're talking about a lot of money. We're not
talking about no three or four hundred dollars entry. No,
if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not still sixty eight
one hundred, now forty it's right at fifty thousand. They
have to write a check between now and I think
they got a month. They have to write a check

(17:28):
for fifty thousand dollars for next year, and they're in
the elite in their elite. That's it. I mean elite
must mean you have a Well they qualified. Now here's
the deal. Now, I would say that like unlike the
NPFL which now has a seeding seed program or whatever,
you know, where you can qualify to get up to
the NPFL, what is that? That is where you'll fish

(17:49):
smaller tournaments to qualify to get the National Professional Fishing League.
They were another league that started up last year or.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Ten years ago, which is not be a SSSRY Leaders,
not be ass latest is different group, and they're the
group that announced on Sunday that they were doing no
Ford facing Sonar in any of their events. Well that's okay,
I agree, Yeah, that's okay if that's what they want
to do.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
But they don't have any sponsors. They don't have any
sponsors from Gardenmen or lol rants or Hummingbird.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Or or with These guys are what I read this week,
and I think it was a link. You said to me,
then they will restrict screen sizes and how many transducers. Yep,
I think I don't see that as being I have
no problem with that either I a thousand percent agree
with that. I mean, okay, you can have for or
whatever size screen. And was it fifty five inches total

(18:40):
total square?

Speaker 8 (18:41):
All right?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Queen the front and in the in the driver's seat console,
you well have that many inches and you can have one.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Guy I think we've talked and discussed on the show
had seven transducers on his boat, yes, sir, and now
you can have one? Is that on your troller motor?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Right? He had four upfront and three in the back. Well,
that sounds like okay, yep.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
In other words, they're not eliminating technology, but they are
making it where it's at least on a level playing field.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Right when Zu Dane went around and just did a
kind of got you moment, it brought light to the
fact that some of these guys don't have life scoat.
They just don't use it. Some of them don't use it.
That's their choice, but it's there if they won't use
it as a tool. But then you've got Brian Smidt

(19:31):
when they go to his boat. Yeah, he's making four
sixteen inch screens. It's his console.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
He's like England with all the goodies.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
And so it was getting out, yeah, out of out
of hand. I mean, I've got no problem with technology whatsoever,
but I think there should be limitations on how far
you can go. And it got to be who some
of the guys had sixteen thousand dollars in electronics?

Speaker 5 (20:03):
I was about what I was about to say. It
also controls budgets where if you don't have the how
much does the guy spend on his boat with the
seven transitions and that.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
He had over fifty thousand dollars in electronsity.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
What if I only have fifteen thousand dollars to spend
all utron thank you or sponsorship.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
But the other points that I heard and Tony heard
it too, was Zona talking about, you know, talking to
these high school kids out there now that walk up
to these boats and look at him and they're like,
oh my gosh, Like I'll never be able to afford
all that, right, I'll now be able to compete. And
that's what it's become now.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
It's well, and I don't I don't see its being
a problem that you can still from being with you
I and using that stuff. I mean, one's enough, I
think so, but for us.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
But now if you talk about what they're doing, like okay,
so let's go with Jordan. So Jordan had the transducer
in the back and the one in the front. Okay,
So for Jordan when he's pre fishing, so what member
He told us that day that he basically will get
on plane, you know, just to wear fast enough where
it's reading and he's able to scan and look for
stuff instead of having to prefish where you would go,

(21:18):
you know, obviously throw baits and stuff, chunk and chunk
and chunk and junk and junk exactly. He's able to
grab out the areas. It makes a big difference. And
with that, there was somebody that had four transducers, right,
wouldn't there? Uh talk? Brian Smith had seven? Oh well, yes,
I saw. I think I'd heard you, sir. So they

(21:39):
have them where they can put them in the water
like mine. Some of them he had in a mountain,
didn't he He had four transducis break okay we are,
and had three in the front. Yeah, I mean you
love your gizmos. I I do love mine. You know

(22:01):
that it was enough enough? I don't know. But when
you could take it and you can shoot them out
literally two hundred feet, you can see fish and you've
got to sell with um on your boat. You literally
for three hundred and sixty degrees two hundred foot out
a fish around your boat. We'll give you example.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yesterday we were on the river and I said, man,
I throw me a frog up in there, and egoes, no, Man,
I wouldn't afford.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Looking sooner down and find them out here. And I
was like, well, that flace looks fishy. I'd throw something
in there. You know, it's changed, it's different. Don't think
he don't think like a bass fisherman. All right, we
got to go to break real quick. We got to
go to break real quick. And Fred does think like
a bass fisherman. He picked out some good spots. Hey,
we are going to go to break. We'll come right back.
We're at Palmer Storage here in Mulls Inlet. But this

(22:54):
is the Trilogy Outdoors radio show talking fenspur and feathers.
We all know that the inlet rocks when it comes
to great fishing and good times on the boat. Now
the description of why this inlet is so great is
now the new baiten Tackle Shop here to serve a
rocking good time to all the fisheads and anglers out there.
Ronald Stalby brings his enthusiasm, excitement and genuine care for

(23:16):
the angler to the new store and is ready to
serve all your fishing needs. If it's live bait, hand
tied rigs, the hottest and artificial baits, frozen baits, apparel
and much more. They have you covered. If you need
anything that you don't see, just let Ronald know stop
in and welcome them into town and get all the
latest report. Inlet Rocks baiton Tackle opens daily at five

(23:38):
thirty am and is located on seventeen Business, just a
quarter miles south of the Meurls Inlet Landing. All right
and we are oh, let me get the microphone in
front of me. That helps. We are coming to you
live back here at the Palmroe Storage Studio. But this
is Trilogy Outdoors Radio show coming to you via the
Toyota Tundial Studio presented by Sparks Toyota where the dealer

(24:00):
is always in and by Us Bosch of Marrison Marine
Oblake City at Georgetown. Every day is a boat show.
Every day. Hey, and we are excited. We've got a
great group here and Bert Williams has just showed up.
We're gonna let him get situated, and we're gonna kind
of kind of circle right back to where we were
for a minute. We're not gonna we're not gonna beat

(24:21):
that dead horse like everybody else has, but we're gonna
circle right back to where we were, and we're gonna
talk about the You know that the electronics. And I
think that something that was brought up several times on
the show in the past year is the fact that
this expense for these for all these electronics is running
a lot of kids away and adults that can't afford it.

(24:42):
I mean, let's at the end of the day. I mean,
I'm blessed. I mean, I'm just saying, and I say
it every day. I mean, I'm blessed to have that
opportunity to use the livescope on that boat. I'm blessed
to use the boat. But to have that lipscope on there.
Would would it be something that would be in my
budget that I could afford? No, would it be something
that that I would probably, now knowing what it does,

(25:02):
try to prioritize in the budget. Yes, if I did
get a boat, because you saw it this week we
went out and filmed a television went out and filmed
last week or this last week, last week, that's right.
Well I finished it up finally. Shark Yeah, Shark Day.
Uh yeah. We got famous over that. By the way,
my kids have been eating it up. They've had teachers

(25:22):
coming up to them like, oh, I saw your dad
shark picture and video from Ed. But that was a
big shark.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
By the way, you got you got international attention because
it came to me while I was in Germany.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
I got I got attention in Germany, and that's awesome.
Going it all over them, that is awesome. Well, you know,
if Ed shows it, if Ed shares anything you put
up on Facebook, it goes crazy. I mean, it's gotten
to the point where he even texted me. I think
I told y'all last week, but he warned me about
people trying to buy my video, like they will try
to license it through me, Like they'll say, hey, we'll

(25:57):
give you X amount for it, blah blah blah. And
then he said they just use it for all kinds
of stuff and you never get you get money. It
could be in any commercial where they that's right, you know,
they could they could where they could put Fred in
there jumping when the shark shows up or or bleeping
him out when he you know, again, this is what
amazed me with that video last week is the one

(26:18):
person of this whole crowd who is less likely to
ever let a curse word slip out of his mouth.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Let you too, well, but they were on the lower
end of the scale. But yeah, it kind of dazzled me.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
They were on the bottom of the scale. At least
they weren't like Nick Saban last week on Game Day. Yeah,
they were pretty same words. But still it's not normal
for me. But hey, but don't we all don't we
all empathize with Saban on his comment that he made.
I think I feel the same way he did that
for any way, old boy sitting beside him look at

(26:54):
him and say, congratulations, you just broke the internet. Yeah maccafrey, Yeah,
McCaffrey looked at him.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
So, I mean, it was just a it was just
an unexpected visit. So that was pretty interesting.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well, I think that, you know, I think we have
beat the dead horse and beat it up and up
for this week. I'm sure we'll be back next week
to talk more about bass fishing. But it is something
else is gonna happen something else is gonna change, I know,
but let's let let's move because I know Fred sent
some pread sent us all some pictures and shared some
pictures from the South Trand, and let's talk about what's

(27:30):
happening down on the South Trand. Our good friends at
poly Ze Isling Outdoors want to take care of you
and get you out on the water if you're heading
down south at Poly's Island Outdoors. And let's hear what's
happening down there. How about the water? And I heard
the I heard it's cleaned up a little bit down there,
and I heard that there. I heard the silver kings
are showing up.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Well, they had a tournament two weeks ago. There was
two fish caught yep. Out of all these guys fishing
all day long, I mean like ten hour days, and
there was two caught. So I hadn't seen them in
the places where I'd been seeing them before the hurricane
came through. But uh, water, it's been a few days,

(28:13):
I guess. Last weekend we had a really low tide
and some bars were showing out by the river that
hadn't been showing for a month, which tells me that
the flood water is getting out of here. So the
water is still just colored, it's not green, but the

(28:33):
fish are there. The fish are still there. So a
lot of places that I fish, i'd hit and nothing happens.
Go here and nothing happens, and then you get on them.
So it hadn't run all the fish off. They'll they'll
tolerate the fresh if they and a lot of these
fish I was catching there was obviously there were river
fish because of their paint jobs. They were just you know,
dark backs right barely barely any blue, and their tails

(28:56):
they were they were coming out of that water anyway,
so they can tolerate it. In the bay, which was
really quiet, we had all the flood water. Now the
bait is starting to show up back on the surface,
and it's in places further than where around hop call,
there hadn't been any bait because all the water, and
all of a sudden they're showing up again.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
There.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
They're they're visible that I know they're there.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
So things are subtling. It seems to me things are settling.
I'm cussing some shrimping in that throwing in the bait, honey,
That's what I was going to ask you. And then
I know you you care about the shrimp out or
they starting to show back up. Well, when when at
the peak of the of the when Conway was underwater,
there was shrimping the creeks out towards the Inlant so

(29:39):
as you got towards north inland where you get you know,
the saltwater influence, they were shrimping the creeks like numbers,
you know, trout size baits.

Speaker 9 (29:50):
Right.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
But now in the bay, I'm catching some, so it
adn't running that and going out in nation. But the
thing is is I and I experienced ten days ago
it took us seven miles to get an otion to
find green water. So I mean where they're gonna have
to travel a long way to get into green water
that at least visible on the surface anyway, But.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, I did it took it, and and I heard
this week that it's gotten a little bit further. But
that makes sense because it's gonna obviously move off.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
It's gonna it's gonna have to dissipate somewhere. And what's
the water. What's it looked like in Marzilla? Does it great?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Was dirty? This week? Well? Now listen, well we all
know what kind of winds we've had this week, and
then now I hear and and and I hate to,
you know, not do my job for the chamber and
just talk about how wonderful the weather is. But I'm
gonna be honest. We're looking at winds for the next
six days. Yeah, it's gonna be north again. Let's school.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
We've got the same scenario setting up this coming week
as it was this past week.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Well, I always say it that if we're gonna have
a pleasant temperature and low humidity, that unfortunately, that wind
has to come from the northern direction, the northeast, and
it's coming from the north. So if if the weather
guessers say we got northeast wind five to ten, that
is at least an ad or a multiplier, that's right,

(31:13):
because there is no such thing as a northeast wind
at five to ten now, and the trees in my
yard will tell you that that northeast is not five
plus ten fluss ten. That's right.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
So anytime you see, oh it's northeast at five to ten,
you just needed you might better do something else.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I'm gonna give a shameless plug for my wife's place
of business, the home depot. But yesterday afternoon, we rust
and I ran to home depot to get some of
these Oda band which, by the way, I wish we
were sponsored by them. They are incredible eliminate odors and
they pulled moisture out of their great, great, great items.
But we met a young band in the parking lot,
really good dude fishes out of Georgetown, who came straight

(31:56):
up to me and was telling me all about the
sheeps that he's been catching at the jetties, which drives
you crazy, which drives me crazy because that's my favorite.
That's one of my favorite things to do. And the waters,
and then I'm sure the water doesn't look right. He
said the water was not bad. He said the water
was not bad at all, and but it was some
big bee. They're catching big bee.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Well, and the water's blending in places. So the closer
the further north of you go from the bay, the
more green you get in it, right, And I all
taste the water and it's up that way it's salty.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
So he was tasting it and said it was, you know,
up the last couple of weeks. He said he would
taste it, and he said it's gotten a lot more.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Yeah, it's a lot of lentity back to it. Yeah,
And I talked to Greg Holmes this week. He washes
some salinity levels on some monitoring stations and it's all
coming it's all coming up. So even though you've got
color that may go, that color is off, the salinity
levels coming back up. And like the for try out,
I never really cared about what color the water was.
It was clarity. That was when the lenn Ford saying

(32:55):
he would look for clear water and he didn't care
what color it is. So even if you're in the
bay and you're looking at this looks like tea out here,
But if you put your rod in the water and
you can see three eyes on it, then you know
the visibility is good even though the color's not optimal.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
So I've been hit my normal spots and catching reds
on good numbers. So you know, I think that the
effects of the storm about three.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Well, we got somebody else that can chime in on
the South Tream report if she hasn't run to the restrooms,
and that is super Jenna. How about it, Jenna? How
about turn that microphone on and do something.

Speaker 7 (33:30):
Hello, I'm sorry I was not paying attention.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
How about turn your microphone on so that you can
broadcast to our listeners, not just to us. And let's
hear about your trip to Hiding Marina last weekend.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
You know, the trip where my thirty year old fishing
pole got left behind because of fish stole it.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
I think that rod is still making its way somewhere
down that river. That was a big risk. It's got
that rod. You don't leave a rod unattended when you
do them with red. Hey, she only did it for
a couple of seconds. Yeah, that's all it takes.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
That's where you're going in forever.

Speaker 7 (34:08):
I set the pole down to go look at something
in my dad's tackle box. It's like, oh, I'm gonna
try this, And then I heard and there went the
fishing pole. And for a very split second, because I
knew my cell phone was not in my pocket, you.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Would go jump.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yeah, I've been there. I've been there, done that.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
I contemplated it, but I did not because I knew
it was stupid. It's just a fishing pole. Granted I've
had that pole for thirty some years.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
But you have a connection with e. I think he
can get you another one, Jenna.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
This is your price, and I offered her rods. I
got her tackle, got it all set up. But I
did offer her a couple of rods. But Jenna, that's
your first time.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
You didn't take one because it had been your pole.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Hey, between you and Russ, Russ, it would have been
okay Russ. Russ loses it and breaks enoup himself. But
that's your first time.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
We had a good time. We did have a good time.
We called it some catfish. I ended up not fishing
on Sunday. I was worn out from the heat on Saturday.
But my dad fish didn't catch anything on Sunday, And
then we'd tried targeting some bass Monday morning before we left.
They didn't like us either, So we did get some catfish.
We had a good time. It was all about the
relaxing and the time together anyway.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
And the cabin was great. It was it was great.
We would will definitely want to go back when we
can enjoy more time outside where it's not super super
hot and maybe have a nice big fire in the
fire pit they got.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
That is the best thing about that place. You need it.
You need it to be a little bit chilly, so
you got a reason to get a fire going out
there because it's worth it. But that view I saw
Tony in our group text ask you what did you
think about that sunset? Oh?

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Gorgeous. It was absolutely gorgeous. I mean it's watching the
boats go around and the boats that were there. There's
a guy working on a big old yacht that he's
been trying to get fixed up, and we you know,
everybody was very very friendly. The people that were coming
in and out on the boats, they stop and talked
to us, Hey, how you doing. There was a bunch
of kids running around, Hey, catch anything. It was it

(36:08):
was a little bit of downtime. It was a little
bit of everybody's so nice, and it kind of restored
faith in humanity a little bit. Yeah, I tell you,
tried to help me fish out my fishing pole. That's
where the fishings have a big enough thing to try
to do.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
That's what the fishing community can do for you. I agree. Overall,
unless you're a kayaker, that's the way the fishing community is.
We love each other. We do. We all love each other.
And the one thing that head Marina is such a
great place. And for those that are listening haven't been

(36:42):
down there, don't know where it is. It's located on
the Sampit River. What would you say, Tony, a mile
up river from the Carol Campbell Landing, beautiful cabins right
on the bluff, right looking down over the water. And
you've got docs lippage. You bring your boat down, put
it in, Yeah, and you get a good fire going outdoors.

(37:03):
It's grape for a group. We stayed over there, Fred chef,
We all, you know, hung out, cooked and had a
great time with Ryan Williams and Tony and Tommy and
who else Eric, Eric his boss, and Jason and Chris Reagan.
A good crowd down there. We had a good time
and we'll be back there this fall because it is nice,

(37:25):
you know, it is nice to get down there on
a cooler time when it's cooler. Yeah. That the fire
fit when the power is a necessity, not to keep
the bugs away. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
And it's a fellowship kind of thing sitting around like that.
It just says.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
And we were eating bull peanuts. Unfortunately, I usually bring
enough to feed an army, but I didn't bring but
two little bags would.

Speaker 5 (37:46):
Be and I took care of one of those Fred easily.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Fred got him and it looked like a squirrel had
been in my bag of nuts. Yeah, easily, you did well, chef.
Let's let's hear about your trip. Let's hear about your trip,
and then we're going to go to break But I
want to hear about your trip over there, and did
you did you get to try out some clousine cuisine
like you would plan to, and did you find anything
that really stands out? How did you find a KFC?

Speaker 6 (38:13):
He was at McDonald's. I feel like that's all I
did there. I just ate my way through Germany and Poland.
But it was just an absolutely incredible trip. We flew
to Amsterdam and my brother lives on the north border
of Germany, which is Germany and the Netherlands.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
So he picked me up.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
He and his wife picked me and my wife up
and we spent about four days eating through north northern Germany.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
But he's eating through. Yeah. He's a World.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
War two historian, and he was explaining to us that
in that area was one of the most vicious bombing
raids of World War two, and a mile from his
house in this little park, he was showing us they
still have bomb craters, you know, from there. And then
you know, we just had some great food. There a
lot of homemade sausages. There's there's hardly any fish all

(39:13):
through Germany and and Poland because they only have that
strip of sea.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
But flew to.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
Poland and we stayed in Krackout and that's that's like
an hour from Auschwitz. So we toured Auschwitz Berkanal and
extremely extremely depressing. But it's something that I think everybody
should do. I mean, even when you're there, it's just
absolutely impossible to imagine. And we stood at the end

(39:44):
of the train tracks where.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
The back them in on the cattle guard. Wow, and
they would just get out and that opening.

Speaker 6 (39:52):
Yeah, and you get to you get to tour right
through into the depths of the camp.

Speaker 5 (39:58):
And Daniel asked me about this week, and I was
trying to explain to him that it's preserved. He goes,
what do you mean, I said everything. The fences are up,
the railroad tracks are there, defenses are up, the buildings
are there, the ovens are there, the gas chambers are there.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
That it's yeah, it's all still there.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
And they have they have these areas that you go
into and it's behind glass with you know, thousands of shoes. Yeah,
go to the next one, it's thousands of eyeglasses that
were just removed from from the people. Wow, it's just
it's overwhelming, almost to the point where I felt like

(40:38):
it was almost like a movie set.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
You know. It's just it's just because you've seen so
many movies with it in it, so you're feeling.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
And one of the tours through uh, the Jewish ghetto
in Crackout was a walking tour. We had a we
had a guide was pointing out some of the different
areas that Steven Spielberg used for Shindler's List, which we
just watched a week before, and pointing out some things
and yeah, great food. I've got a Polish heritage, and

(41:13):
I took a piogi cooking class by a local woman.
Really yeah, it was just out language. Yeah, it was
just fantastic. I mean, I've had my grandmother's recipe for
so what was in the Progres show twenty five years?
The ones we made were potato and cheese, which sounds

(41:33):
incredibly basic. Both basic, But we started out the tour
at a farmer's market where the instructor where she buys
her specific cheese from a specific vendor. This woman who
raises the cows specifically to make this cheese for her

(41:55):
for her well, no, no, not for yes, yes, for
for the cellar, right, and that's all she sells at
her little stand there, and the instructor bought a certain
amount of it. And we went back to her apartment.
There were seven of us, and we made the dough
and the filling and cooked them and ate them, and

(42:15):
we talked about, you know, that specific specific style of
perogi and why that was considered the most authentic of.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
All of Are they boiled?

Speaker 6 (42:28):
Yes, which is very interesting because the way I was raised,
my grandmother would boil them and then slightly sautee them
in butter and get a little bit brown. I never
saw that in not in that class, and not anywhere
in Poland.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:43):
And and the the dough is so tender I could
I could eat.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Them, making me hungry. And I'm sitting here looking because
Burt brings in food from chickpil A, and Don brings
in food from what Bowjangles? Is that bow Jangles bag?
The other bag? I don't, yeah, Bojangles. I mean we're
loaded up with food in here.

Speaker 6 (43:05):
But I promise you, I promise you, if I'm here
next week, I will bring bring a batch in that
I've made for you guys.

Speaker 7 (43:13):
Wow, well there's nothing like a fresh homemade perogi.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Y'all.

Speaker 7 (43:18):
Y'all Southerners that didn't grow up with them just don't.

Speaker 6 (43:21):
Know well, and I got I gotta tell you, I
don't know how interesting this is to the listeners. But
like I said, I've been making these for years. It's
it's so basic. Flower water, eggs, salt, salt, and uh,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
And the way mashed potatoes.

Speaker 6 (43:41):
Yes, and it's easy to mix the dough, but there
are I've always made them and everybody that I know
has made them. There's sour cream in the dough. There
is no sour cream in this dough. And they ended
up being the most tender, just delectable little dumplings that
I have ever had. So here I am the chef
to the stars, supposedly, you know.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Hang on, keep going because I'm going to say something.
But keep going. I'm getting ready to give you a
huge prop but keep going.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
That the thing that blows me away today where I
am personally today in the food world, the high end,
the the bougie type food I have zero interest for.
When I can get and put my hands into something

(44:28):
that is considered so simple and little tiny nuances that
you tweak and you have this result that you've been
looking for for years with four freaking ingredients.

Speaker 9 (44:41):
It blows my mind.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Well, folks, listen, this is what we always say about
fishermen as well. You're learning every day when you when
you deal with a fisherman that thinks that he knows everything.
I want to fish against him every day. But you're
talking about a shep. And again, for those that don't know,
that's ship Richard Florzak Private Shep to the Stars Poor
formerly Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Garner. I can't I

(45:06):
can't name them all. Leonardo, Leonardo DiCaprio. Let's don't forget Leo.
His their private chefs and just an incredible chef. And
you can have him at your house as well, and
real quick, how do they find you if they want
to have you come over and do it? Because yours
are a cooking class, kind of a demonstration slash. You're

(45:26):
bringing them in. You're not just cooking for them. You
want them to learn how to do.

Speaker 6 (45:30):
Exactly I cook in front of them at their center island.
It could be four to eight, ten, ten people, and
I do five courses, and each each course is tied
to some specific story about a celebrity that I've worked for.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Right, Yeah, that is also an interesting evening, folks, I've
done it with But if you haven't, if you didn't
pick up on it, he actually paid to go to
a class to learn to do something and learn. Yeah,
And that's why we always continue to say, and like
we always love picking up on things like I think
you and I'm just I'm not gonna speak for you,
but I'm gonna I think that you enjoyed learning a

(46:09):
little bit of my stuff in the way I do
things when you went with me. Sure, yeah, I mean,
and I always learned from.

Speaker 5 (46:15):
You well, And that we had that kind of discussion
on the group this week in our texting that what
if you had it all figured out and all you
had to do is go do this?

Speaker 3 (46:28):
How boring would that be? Yep? So as soon as
you think you got it.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Figured out, the Lord humbles you and brings you back down.
Same thing's going on with chef and it's cooking. He
went and with all his knowledge, he learned something about
last week. So that's what makes you continue to cook.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
Yeah, And if I can say just one last thing,
and I know, and I know it ends up being
a being a cliche, but I haven't traveled outside abroad
in a number of years, so this is the first
time in about ten year years. And it's amazing. Once
you get to a place like even like Europe, how
you you feel. It's it's kind of hard to explain,

(47:11):
but when when you're in the US you're safe, yep.
When you're outside the US, you're always right, especially Poland.
Poland has been raped historically over the years. That could
happen again at any time. You never feel that in
the US. And when when that plane touchdown, even though

(47:31):
kind of people, how was your trip? Both my wife
and I say it was amazing, glad. We both agree.
When that plane touches down in the good old USA,
you say, thank you God.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Amen. We love our freedom here. There's no doubt about it.

Speaker 6 (47:46):
And it's just and just you know, I had my
phone on the whole time, I had an international plan
and everything, yep, and I would get the thread from
the Southern Anglers and it would just do something to me.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
It was just so great. Well, that's why we love
that threat we all talked about it this week again.
It came up this week how much we love just
talking with each other. But you hear our buddy Ted
NuGen over there, and that means it's time for a break. Shep.
We're gonna make sure we get your information up for
people to book with you. And next is Bert Williams
coming up. And by the way, don't think he's just

(48:18):
gonna talk about rooping, because the guy fishes and I
know he was out last weekend because he put pictures up.
So we're gonna talk to Bert. And then before the
show's over, we are gonna get Kayak down over here
to talk with us too. But we're gonna go to break.

That's right, that's right, my dog, my dog. You know, hey, Tony,
you're gonna laugh. We were talking about it yesterday when
we were on our boat ride. Oh look who's got
a new rod. When we were on our boat ride
yesterday on the way down, we were talking about the
Marshall's Marine segment where you know, promoting it at the

(50:27):
beginning of each segment, and pret said, I'm not messing
it up too bad, and I was like, no, I
love it, dude, Like I mean that everyday thing has
really stuck. Like I've had people like just randomly bring
up every day and so no, keep doing it and
everybody knows go to Marshall's.

Speaker 5 (50:45):

Speaker 3 (50:49):
And speaking of somebody that's looking for a boat, yes, yes,
he's in the house, the one and only Bert as
I call him, Kim Kim actually praised it. Bert Delicious
is in the house, Bert William, the one and only.
But what's your title over there? My title is brand Ambassador,
Brand Ambassador. Yes, absolutely, what a perfect Hey you do
an awesome job, dude, Thank you, brother. I appreciate it.

(51:11):
You do first off, and monarch ruping. I mean, you
guys do so much above just doing ruping. Let's talk
about what you do for the community. I mean you
do and that is pretty much it seems like that's
what they put you in charge of.

Speaker 10 (51:24):
Yeah, that's that's the main thing that I work with
basically is trying to get back to the community. You know,
we're at all the events. We participate with several charities.
My favorite one, the one that we had the most
involvement in, is Shelter for Veterans yep. You know, we
have the golf tournament and we do some other things
and we're able to do replace a roof a month
basically for a veteran in need, and that's fantastic. We

(51:46):
look out for our armed forces and especially our veterans,
you know, and first responders, you know, basically all the
community yep.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
And you know, here here's you know, the reason I
wanted you to come on and talk was we are
in the peak right now. If I'm not mistaken, this
week is the peak of hurricane season. Yes, and so,
like it's happened in the past, the storm pops up
and boy do the roopers come out of the woodwork,

(52:15):
is it not. I mean it's insane, dude, your pliers
will come to the door, blah blah blah. You know
it's it's that from all over.

Speaker 10 (52:23):
Yeah, you gotta be careful about the chucks and the
trucks that come in, you know, especially after the big
storms come in. You know, you want to deal with
some my reputable it's been around for a while. We've
been here seventeen years, and we've got a great name obviously,
and do a great job. And you know, we give
you what you deserve the best, and.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
How do we get in touch with it? So here's
my thing, like right now, we may be you may
be prior to this storm. You may be dealing with
issues that you don't even know about. Because how many
of us climb on our roofs other than Tony, that's
exactly or Thread, I think you climbed on your roof,
but yeah, not many of us climb on our roof.

Speaker 10 (52:54):
Well, that's exactly right. I just did the hurricane preparedness
with the Pietrowski. I know you do, and I'm Mark
our director ourselves was speaking and he mentioned some of
the very interesting to me after this last storm you know,
we didn't get much wind, but we got a ton
of rain, especially in the North Word of Beach area
got really hit. And we had one hundred leads call

(53:14):
in that first week after. Now that's that's that's like
a huge someone's like a record. So we were slammed.
I'm saying, our guys were out all day every day,
and you can prepare. You can get inspections now before
the storms get here. We do free inspections. So, like
you said, you're not getting on your roof, so let
us get up there, take pictures, take videos, and let
you know what looks like and go ahead and do

(53:36):
some minor repairs now before before you get slammed or
you know, maybe it's worse than you thinking you need
a new roof. You know, we're there to do whatever
whatever's needed. So you mentioned videos and pictures. I think
that makes a big difference for a lot of different reasons.
But first and foremost, let's talk about it the elephant
in the room. You know, of course a lot of
people say, oh yeah, they went on my roof. They

(53:57):
told me I needed this, this and this, Like never
showed me picture, never showed me a video, just told
me and of course I'm going to sign up and
go port you guys. Actually exactly, Yeah, that's the issue too. Yeah,
our guys get up there and I mean they literally
talk to you. While they're up there, they're showing you
exactly what your roofs looks like, so you know, it's
not false fight.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Or any thank you.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
So you're actually you're seeing, you're hearing.

Speaker 10 (54:20):
And then they come downstairs and they brief you for
probably thirty minutes to an hour on what they saw
and what they could recommend, you know, and then we'll
get you an estimate based on you know, what you
need from there very quickly.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
And the best way to set one of those up
or anything is to go on the website.

Speaker 10 (54:34):
Email, yeah, website, you can call the office eight thirty nine.
Roof you can call me five oh four seven eight
one eight. I'm happy to set you up. You know,
nothing's too small. You know, we've got a repair department
that does minor repairs, we've got a terror apartment that
does brand new roofs. We've got a new construction department
on both sides, commercial and residential, so we basically do
it all.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Yep. And I never realized till recently when I rode
by your place. How big your place is out on
one Holy Michael.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Yeah, yeah, I think we're about to expand it a
little more too.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
So Yeah, I think y'all were doing like a anniversary
party the afternoon. I was on my way to Sparks
and uh, the big tent was set up outside and everything.
I mean, you guys are always doing something fun over there.
And and and Martin is a great person. I knew
Martin before Mineart. Martin's a great person. I know. He's
been great to my brother, and uh.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
He's a huge mentor to me.

Speaker 8 (55:25):
Man.

Speaker 10 (55:25):
Absolutely, and that's good, that's importanthenomenon, and it's it's done great.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Does he fish? We've talked about that, you know, have.

Speaker 10 (55:35):
Loves to fish. Yeah, absolutely, triple go any day every day.
We can probably get Martin out there. We could, We
could try that.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Because you were saying something about like I think his
nieces and nephews or or whatever in town, and and
and they wanted to go or something he wanted to
take you.

Speaker 9 (55:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Absolutely, Yeah, Well, anytime you want to take him out there,
let me know. We're gonna try and find you a boat.
We got our friends at Marshall's looking. We got Matt
Barne door looking, we got Jason looking, we got we
got everybody looking. We're gona find you a seventeen eighteen
foot kind of introductory. He wants a boat that he
can fish in center console. He wants a center console
exactly because he wants to be able to cruise and
do some do some enjoyable stuff in the afternoon. And

(56:10):
of course, you know the old bird I would have
been a little nervous about those cruises. But hey, yeah,
who knows? Do you? Brother? And by the way, you're
looking pretty good?

Speaker 2 (56:17):
I mean I do you look pretty good these days?

Speaker 3 (56:19):
So are you? Are you? You're holding true to the
gym I'm going?

Speaker 10 (56:23):
Martin actually mentioned that to me yesterday, not going like
every day or as many day.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
As I probably should. I got to pick that up
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
But were you out?

Speaker 8 (56:30):
Man?

Speaker 3 (56:30):
I'm getting older. It's tough on our bodies. You know.

Speaker 10 (56:32):
That's my excuse. I feel like a million bucks. That's
why I tell people every day I feel like a
million bucks.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Well, the other thing is I need you from my
Myrtle's inlet fishing report. Yes, yes, And and the other
thing is you're gonna you can cover surf and you
can cover the inlet, because I know you guys snuck
out last week and went in the inlet.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (56:47):
Yeah, I've been out there with Trip, you know, my
boss on the commercial side. We had a We had
the best time. Caught several flounder. I caught a bunch
of small ones. He caught a few keepers, and then
I moved one with Cliff Ward two yep, about every
other week and we have a blast out there.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
But we've done well.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Man.

Speaker 10 (57:03):
I called that twenty three incher, which was my second
biggest one ever, and that was pretty exciting.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Well, one thing, I know, you always have success when
you all go surf fishing. And I know you've grown up.
You grew up in Garden City. I mean you you've
surf fished for a long time. We get a lot
of people that contact that's wanting to know where's they
don't have a boat. They want to go fishing, and
you know, you get people want to go to North Causeway,
they want to go to Huntington, they want to go
to uh well, the Garden City Canal is another place.

(57:30):
The Garden City Crosswalk is another place. And I right
there Alantic Avenue, Yeah, on Atlantic Avenue out there. Yeah,
but that south end. You cannot go wrong on that
south end of Garden City. Yeah, that's where you go.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Yeah, my dad told me how to surf fishing.

Speaker 10 (57:44):
I love fishing with sand fleas, you know, just out
there catching pompino and whiteing down anywhere on the south end.
I'd like anywhere south of the pier, you know, from
like Yuccas south, maybe down towards the Marlanquay in that area,
even down towards the jetties.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (57:58):
You know, I'm sure Don is with He's had several
you know, good times out there too. So but yeah,
I mean we the biggest thing is the fisher seem
to be a little smaller than when I was a kid.
We used to catch big whiting, big pompino. They've gotten
a little smaller, but I catch a bunch of them,
usually want to go, so it's still fun.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
So for a surf fishermen or somebody that's that's thinking
about getting into surf fishing, and I know, you know
more than the most so we all think that you
have to throw it as far as you can do.
You try to fish in the white water and in
the in the waves, which is what I was told
is where the production is going to happen for the
most part. Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

Speaker 10 (58:33):
They seem to hang in the white water because that's
where they're feeding mostly, even your big reds blues. I mean,
that's a misconcession. People do want to throw it as
far as they can to get those twelve twelve foot
surf fris and just sling them. And man, I'm fishing
right there in the breakers, and they've had the most
success doing that. You know, I think they are just
in their feeding basically. And I've even seen reds in there,

(58:54):
you know, just in like ankle deep water that are,
you know, twelve inches long, So I know they're in
there feeding on those sand fleas and other beatfish.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Is there a certain time of the year, go ahead, Yeah,
go ahead. Is there a certain time of the year
that you prefer about now?

Speaker 10 (59:08):
I mean, I'm getting ready to get into a big
time because like say, when I'm I can't get in
a boat right kind of, So I don't have a boat,
so I can always go to the end of the
road and go surfishing. That's the best thing about it.
You don't have to have a boat. Anybody can go surfishing.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
So what are you using for a rig?

Speaker 2 (59:22):
Just regular?

Speaker 3 (59:22):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Two hook with a pyramid sinker.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
And that What kind of weight you're using on your sinker.

Speaker 10 (59:27):
It depends on how the tides running. Usually about a
two ounce like now or during the summer. It's running
pretty good. I checked this morning, so I'd probably use
a three ounce.

Speaker 5 (59:35):
Right Now, do you do you want to just be
stationary or you want to the other question that I.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Do stationary on surfishing.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
Yeah, so you don't want to do like a control
drift where it's kind of doing some movement. You want
it to plan in and stay there.

Speaker 10 (59:49):
Yeah, if I'm fishing for pompino or whiting or something
like that. Now, if I'm going for like reds, when
the reds pick up here in the next few weeks,
I'll use like a Carolina rig and you know that's
going to roll around a little bit, right, and then
that's that's gonna get some movement to it. But you know,
you know I fished up around Hatterson too and it
gets rough up there, right, So you say you want
to fish stationary, But if the current's running you're kind

(01:00:10):
of at the mercy of what the current's doing.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
So on the reds you're seeing what size are they?

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Yeah, oh, I mean one.

Speaker 10 (01:00:17):
Day I call it eight or ten little they were small,
and it was almost like the end of summer. It
was kind of a unique time. I've never called them
that time of year. Usually do them in the fall.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
So they're like the bull ridge drum twelve inches.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Yeah, they're not keepers, but a little puppy drum.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
All right, Well those are a year old. Yeah, so
you know that sizes and they're running the beach. They're
having a birthday that the sirve birthday during that time.
So yeah, they're a year old. So if you're catching
like twelve fourteen inches, those are a year And if you're
catching larger ones at the same time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
We do like this time of the year, I'll catch
the larger that's right. What's large?

Speaker 10 (01:00:50):
Well, I'm talking like they say, twenty four twenty six inches.
I mean I've caught them big.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
On man, that's great for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
Yeah, the twenty two's are two years old, so that's
a good if you're if you're caushing two different sizes
like that, you've got two different years, which speaks that
we've got good population going on.

Speaker 10 (01:01:09):
The best success I've had on the Reds that is
to go to the point, you know, the Point park
and walk the guard gate. It's a pretty good walk
down there. But right on that right side of those rocks.
I mean I fish with you and the boat we
build right up to the beach right there and that
little hole between there and the pole yep.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Can here you Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
The growings are good down there too.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
The growings are good from the boat or from the shore. Yeah,
I mean, I know, higher tides we've had somebodies do
have a lot of successful plounder fishing right on the
edge of the growing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
So Bert, let me ask you this. It's a question
I get from a lot of people when you start
to go surf fishing. What are you looking for from
the beach that you think where where do you start? Well?

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
You just talking about structure. Well, yeah, that with the thrawings.

Speaker 10 (01:01:58):
But if you got on are tied you can kind
of see where the dips are in the valleys. So
when the tide rolls in, you got those holes.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
So you're are you on the bar? Are you in
the hole?

Speaker 10 (01:02:08):
I'm in the hole most of the time, right on
the edge of the bar, and then drop it into
the whole base.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
But on the beach side of the bark right, Yes, because.

Speaker 10 (01:02:15):
You say I'm not I'm not casting past because you
gotta pass the cast alone ways get past that bar,
right and they're in that whole feeding from what I've
what I've learned.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
You're right what we're calling. I was told what we're
calling the hole is the trough between.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
The bar and to b y, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
And that can be a moving tropic this week, it
can be a trough next week. It would be all saying,
depending on.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
You know yourself.

Speaker 10 (01:02:35):
When they started dredging, it changes the surfacehing and Garden
City absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Man, it changed that area behind the jetties too, on
the little rocks, like remember how it used to used
to have deep water fairly much like right up to
the edge. Now that flat comes all the way out
past that first metal pole and then it starts dropping off.

Speaker 10 (01:02:55):
Yeah, it's changed a lot of my grip here surfing too.
And it's the same thing you don't, you know, the
ways are as big they were when I was a kid,
because it's just a flat beach out there for the
most part.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
Well, those waves are those waves are smaller because you're talking.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
I'm a little bit bigger.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
I'm a little bigger now, that's for sure. I can
write anything back in the day.

Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, well foot tall and free foot waves.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Man, that thing's just a yeah, no doubt exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
You God is are you?

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
Are you going to the Coastal game today?

Speaker 10 (01:03:23):
Now I don't have tickets today, but I'll be I'll
be probably pulling for him, for sure. I know, we
all it's it's they got a good team and they
look good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
They do. They look good. That quarterback looked really good
last week.

Speaker 10 (01:03:32):
Uh see with Grayson going on to n C State,
you know that we got to go one just followed
right right in place.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
Yep, Grayson was on your stamp, right, Grayson was in Yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Came to a lot of our events. You know, we
supported Grayson big time.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
So y'all are part of the n i L reason
that football's failing. Listen, here's a deal I looked at
I mean n I L talking about the n I L.
More power to them and to the player, like they're
crazy if they don't go out and get money. Well,
I mean crazy. And then when you talk about gracing McCall,
who honestly, like I mean, I would if you go
back three years, I don't think there's a single person

(01:04:07):
out there that would have not said that he was
a shoe in for the NFL. I fortunately due to
some injuries and different things.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
But he's got the size of he's built for the.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
End offl yep, yep. And and maybe not a quarterback,
maybe at another position. But the guy could run, he
can throw, he can do whatever. But what's the new
quarterback's named? Besparrow? No, anybody helped me come watch him.
I watched him. He's good. But uh, yeah, he's really good.
He's talented and he's big.

Speaker 5 (01:04:36):
They're putting on some points. Yeah, they put up a
lot of points. Well, let me ask you another thing
about You mentioned Sam Fleas for bait.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Yes, love saying fleas. You're hard to find.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
Though, Well I was getting ready to say that, so
are you breaking them?

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
So now you know?

Speaker 10 (01:04:47):
Now if I can't find him, I'm just using fresh shrimp.
I don't like using frozen shrimp. I like using fresh shrimp.
And then if I'm fishing for the bigger reds, I'll
get some mullet and cut it up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Well, he's a cut bait.

Speaker 5 (01:04:57):
I see a lot of folks from out of town.
They go buy bait, okay, and they buy shrimp. They
buy bait. And I've told people, I don't how many
times you don't use anything you want cook for dinner.
In other words, chef wouldn't cook it for dinner exactly.
Don't try. Don't think that the fisher gonna eat it.
They're not gonna eat ash.

Speaker 10 (01:05:14):
I'll go to seven Season get their smallest little fresh shrimp,
or even Angels when Angels was open, I just grab
some there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
I'm using fresh shrimp.

Speaker 5 (01:05:21):
Like you said that I would eat that you could
cook for dinner or not.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Those frozen shrimp. They just a little funny.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
And this is, you know, real quick, a plug for
our Melzillant bait shops and for Perris Bait and tackling
in the rocks, Baiting tackling, and I watched both of them.
You know what they do. And the way they can
uh package up those shrimp that are fresh, you know,
is incredible because you buy those, you know, shipped in

(01:05:50):
frozen treated. I don't know where they yeah, I don't
know and they don't smell like a shrimp. If they're
Clemson fans, that's not what you want for bait. No,
I agree, orange shrimp or not bake.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Yeah, I don't know where that comes from, but you
need to buy some gray nice.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Screaming speaking of orange, speaking of orange shrimp. I had
to I had to fire my my new my my
first mate, my my junior first mate. Last weekend on Sunday.
I said, all right, you got you clean that libel
out for me. Get those baits out, okay. And he
went back there for about five minutes while I was
making my way back and I put the boat parked it.

(01:06:30):
I said, you get all the bait out? Yes, sir,
Well how many were two days later you found it?
I found some Clemson fans in there. Yeah, and that
would that would be dead shrimp that start changed colors.
And no, it did not smell good.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
Yeah, I'm guilty at the boys gut, he says, I'm
smelling back those mullet in the well.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
I said to Russ, I said, hey, I thought you
said you got rid of all my bait. I couldn't
catch them all. I just quit.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
Yeah, I said, well wait a minute, Well if you
if you've got finger mullets and there's two left in
your big live well, it's gonna take a few minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
It does, especially in mine. Running around where knit Tony, Tony,
I'm here. They know they know you're after them too.
My live well is the hardest live well to catch
bait in when it's down to the last couple. Yeah,
it's not easy.

Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
So yeah, it takes some for uservers to get the
last couple.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
It is well, Bert Man, thank you so much for
coming in this morning, sitting with us, and we are
going to go to break real quick. And Jenna, if
you'll get it cranked up, we'll come back on the
other side. We'll get don to sit in. We're gonna
make a phone call during this break, see if we
can get one of the boys to answer and set
up that three way call with them too. So don't
go anywhere. You listen to the Trilogy Outdoors Radio Show
here on Gator one O seven point nine. All right, everybody,

(01:07:47):
welcome back to Trilogy Outdoors Radio Show coming to you
live here on Gator one oh seven point nine via
the Toyota Tunder Studio, presented by Sparks Toyota where the
dealers always in and of course our friends where at
QS boats and more from Marina, Blake City and Georgetown.
Every day it's a boat too every day and the
Express Electrical Services, Monarch Group and thank you Bert. And

(01:08:08):
and by the way, I don't think Burt knew he
was gonna get thrown into so much fish and talk Tommy, but.

Speaker 9 (01:08:13):
He rocked it out.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
He did rock it out.

Speaker 11 (01:08:16):
Following him on Facebook two and he has definitely been
posting lots of pictures, so you know, he's definitely in
the know. And it was really good to listen to
him talk about the surf fishing as well. That's something
that I've always wanted to do, something that I've always
really wanted, so you've no, no, and so I mean,
what a what a great guy he's been. You know,
grew up in Garden City, so obviously, you know, I

(01:08:38):
have seen a lot of the people that we ended
up checking on the beaches or tourists and they, I mean,
they throw with everything they have and their idea is
to get it out past the breakers. And the reality
is is listening to Burt, it does make perfect sense
that those fish are going to be in that whitewater
and that's where those those where those smaller bait fish
are right, So it makes perfect sense, so you know

(01:09:02):
when people do ask, and don't get me wrong, there
is success past the breakers, but it's going to be
a shark more than likely. So you know, listening to
him and.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
You might catch a Spanish microL you might thirty feet
or I've always lived by the thirty foot rule.

Speaker 8 (01:09:18):
I don't. I don't need anything past thirty foot.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
But when I go past it and I look for
the what I called the blowouts or the rip tides, right,
you'll you'll see them. They'll wash out another thirty forty
foot past the breakers.

Speaker 11 (01:09:32):
And if you ever, if you ever really pay attention,
you know, you know, most people are at the beach
for enjoyment, but if you're a fishing enthusiast and I've
noticed it a lot, I do see. I pay attention
more to that white water. So you do see a
lot of fish. And you know, even what Bert was
saying about the reds, I saw one not long ago
down in Garden City myself, and I was like, wow,

(01:09:54):
that's pretty cool. So you know, spot on with his
report and following him on Facebook, you know he's out
really really early in the morning. I mean sun's still
coming up and he's out fishing. So kudos to Bert. Yeah,
God's looking phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I wish I could get it. He does look good.
He's lost a lot of weight. But I wish I
could get up and go early morning fishing.

Speaker 8 (01:10:13):
Yeah, it's fun.

Speaker 9 (01:10:14):
I'm usually up early. It's just doing the opposite.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
I mean down over here, I mean, this guy drives
a sand tea leaves it. Are he in the morning
or he might leave at eleven at night or ten
at night and sleep in his truck?

Speaker 8 (01:10:27):
Yep, a ramp squad. I've done it. This will be
the thirteenth time that I'll sleep in the truck this year.
But it's worth it. Instead of getting up at one
thirty to be on the water at five thirty, it's
just as easy to ramp squad. And I'm already there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
You know. Here's the other thing is you when you
packed the red and you pay the entry fee everything else,
and you travel that far, you get a hotel room,
you literally are going to spend six hours five hours
in that thing. If that, why not? I mean I'm
perfectly fine sleeping in my truck touse.

Speaker 8 (01:10:57):
I'll saved the extra two hundred bucks sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
I see client all the way back, and I've got
some protection in there for me and you do too.
He's got a camper shield that pits right on his truck.

Speaker 8 (01:11:08):
Sit in my backyard, did Yeah, I know I could
make a nice little comfortable truck condo on the back.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
I used to have done it, a little bed up
in front of that thing.

Speaker 8 (01:11:16):
And I actually stopped yesterday and talked to a good
car salesman that I like, and he's on the hunt
for me for a Toyota land Cruiser or not land Cruiser?

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
What was the fore Runner? Yeah, poor Runner.

Speaker 8 (01:11:28):
I want a certain there's a certain year era that
I want, and he is on the hunt for me.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
For because you got that whole back space and for.

Speaker 8 (01:11:34):
The next season. I'm looking forward to next season. I'm
already focusing on twenty five. And I'll sleep better in
the back of a four Runner than I will in
that thirty two to thirty one year old truck.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Well, how about how about the mud fishing and die withal?
How do you say?

Speaker 8 (01:11:49):
Daho Daho Dahoe is Dahoe is back to normal finally
after the floods, and I don't know. I will say
that the floods have I hope it's done it to
WETI it's changed a fish profile in there. They're a
little bit bigger than average. I don't know if the
flood's pushed them in and if they're gonna leave back.

(01:12:09):
But yeah, it also pushed in a few more gators.
How about Oh did it really? Oh buddy, there's a
couple of stout ones in that little lake.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Now? How about the bass down there? Are there bassing
that lake? Tony? Yep?

Speaker 8 (01:12:22):
So for the mudfish for the Jurassic Classic, I didn't
have my KBF identifier. For my monthly first fish, I
caught eighteen and a half inch bass. It was only
the second bass I've caught out of I don't know,
forty fifty trips down there. But he was a stud
eighteen nice man.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Because you're throwing you're throwing bass lures.

Speaker 8 (01:12:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And that was he was on
a rubber worm red at the tree stump. At first fishing,
I was like, for real, the one time I don't
have my identifier, I catch it back and I didn't
have motor, so I wasn't zipping back to the landing
to grab it. I just let it go and didn't
put it in that month.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Well, you know, we all talk about it. We all
talk about mud fishing, and pretty much every story most
of us have, we were bass fishing. And when we
call them, yeah, I mean we were.

Speaker 8 (01:13:00):
How many people intentionally go for them some of us
do to.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
Me much fisher or called an accident. Yeah, yeah, Well
I'm going to say this much. In that Jurassic Classic,
I noticed names from all over to state that.

Speaker 8 (01:13:14):
Were yeah, that's a there was. I met two guys
that drove all night from Maryland, stayed at the ramp
for about two and a half hours and got maybe
an hour and a half asleep with me at the
ramp that night at Dawhoo, came down to fish that
day and turn around and go back to Maryland. There
they're snakehead guys, but they come down every year for
that Jurassic Classic. I still I'm still baffled at sixty

(01:13:35):
seven people were in that tournament.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Well, you know a lot of people so kayak fishing,
I would say in the last ten years and maybe
even probably go back a little farther, but more so
in the last five years has really picked up, gained momentum,
It's gotten popular, a lot of guys are doing it.
You can almost you could almost spend as much on

(01:13:57):
a kayak as you could on.

Speaker 8 (01:13:58):
A boat on a d yes yep, very easily.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
And the propulsion has changed. And I want you to
make your case with the listeners. I want you to
make your case with why you feel that electric propulsion.
Of course you're not gonna have gas propulsion on there.
If they do, then that's definitely not a kayak, but
electric propulsion. And I personally think if I ever have

(01:14:26):
a kayak, it will have an electric motor. Only like
it will I mean, I have bad shoulders, you have
a health issue that that limits your ability to paddle
as well. Tony would not be able to paddle as
much as he liked to think he could. He wouldn't
be able to paddle but so much. But having that
electric propulsion makes a big difference.

Speaker 8 (01:14:44):
And he makes a guy that loves to fish. That
isn't that that body is beaten, worn down, that's stopping
him from fishing. Get back to fishing on average, and
that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
On average. I truly do not think on average in
average situation here on the Grand Strand in particular, I
don't think it's as big of an advantage as some
people seem to make it.

Speaker 8 (01:15:07):
The only advantage it really plays. And we talked to
three of us. Any inlet where you're fighting tides for
somebody like me that really can't pedal for what's going
on on my back and the things in my chest,
I can't paddle Toty's rotator cuff. He couldn't paddle against
that tide an hour, that would be it. So the
motor helps you there on the river if it's high
and running fast. Yes, I can see where the guys

(01:15:31):
that are paddling and pedaling are complaining because we and
the motors are not war out where they are wore
out after a six or eight hour day. I get
that side of it. But on the flip side, out
of the number of tournaments I fish this year, if
you ask anybody, even with a motor, I don't go
within a thousand yards of that boat land and do
what I do right, I'm not traveling six eight miles

(01:15:54):
to go fishing a spot on the opposite side of
Santee Lake. And these guys with the pedal powers are
and at the end of the day, Oh man, well
that's all you dude. You wanted to peddle all the
way down there. I didn't tell you to. I got
all my fish right here. Where is it an advantage, honestly,
Where it's just getting me to where I can throw
a Roden reel, that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
On the same argument, on the same argument, I just
I just truly think that where you're gonna try to
fish eventually or or at the end of the day,
where you're gonna end up fishing, you're gonna end up
because you keep your paddle in the boat as well.

Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
Yeah, my paddles with me, you're gonna end up.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
And I've had a nab motor up and you go
paddle into your fishing spot. I stick.

Speaker 8 (01:16:35):
I use my steak up pull as where I'm fishing
is nasty and you don't want to have nothing down
and I stick. But for this year, I finally killed
that withium battery on an eight hour day, which I've
not done yet been two years, and the last I
don't know ten football fields. I had to paddle it
or I wasn't getting home without the paddle, and I

(01:16:55):
did it. Did it hurt? That hurt? I felt that
for two days, just that little bit. So like for
the Classic, I had to paddle, I didn't go that far.
That beat me up for an eight hour day. Yep,
it was worth it, but it beat me up for
a day.

Speaker 3 (01:17:11):
Well, I just you know, I had two beautiful kayaks,
and of course I think at that time, I think
they lost a lot of the momentum that they had.
The company that made them, and I'm not going to
call them out by name, but they were heavy. They
they tracked good. That was the key thing to them.
And they were heavy and they were stable. That was

(01:17:32):
the thing. They were stable. But you know, your seats
on yours, and and ultimately on most of the more
popular kayaks, your seat you're sitting up off the boat. Yep.

Speaker 8 (01:17:44):
Well, the rest of them are a fixed like beach
chair seat. Some of them are nicer on a nice rim,
but they're basically a little or a stadium seat, right,
but it's fixed and the plastic is groove for the
feet that just sit in, so you don't have the adjustment.
We're on mine. Literally, I can pull a string, I
can go two inches, I can go up sixteen inches.
Whatever I want to do in between, and that was
the selling point that still is with this brand that

(01:18:06):
I'm in is that seat you can say it, what's
feel free? Yeah, feel free is the brand and it's
the gravity seat. It is as comfortable as this chair
I'm sitting in here talking with you in I mean,
it is a recliner of the Cadillac world.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
Why do we have a lot of listeners that listen,
including one of the granddaddy's of kayak Vision here on
the Grand Train and that is the one and only
Captain Mike Keaty. Yes, sir, that is listening in. And
you know there's a lot of tournaments for kayak Vision
thanks to our friends at Fission Chaos. The opportunities there.
You know, you pop on tonight and decide you're gonna

(01:18:40):
have a tournament tomorrow, you go, I want to set
up a tournament, have it ready to go. People can
register there. There are a ton of opportunities to tournament
vision kayak oh.

Speaker 8 (01:18:51):
Up and down, I mean across the country. If and
you can pick which if you want to follow chase
the whole trail where most most clubs put on a
ten tournament trail. Some of them doing up and down
the East coast across the Gulf for redfish or flounder.
The sheephead tournament this weekend is tomorrow down at the
IOP Dewey's Inlet area. They got a today, there's today

(01:19:13):
and tomorrow. There's an open bass tournament anywhere in the
state public waters for the PD groups put on one.
Then this anti group has theirs. Ours are gonna be
when I say ours, the Grand Strand Club RS are
gonna be in Orient Georgetown waters. They will be in
fresh water, they will be in brackish, they will be
in salt. Our main five tournaments for the year are

(01:19:34):
gonna be charity based, going back to fire ems or cops, widows, children,
wherever it's needed. We're gonna raise money for that. On
the fun side of it, we're gonna do monthlies, and
I'm gonna do weird monthly. So I'm gonna do a
mudfish and a toadfish, right, We're gonna do a bluefish
and a brim. We're gonna we're gonna keep it odd

(01:19:54):
where people are gonna get out and learn the waters
of these two counties that they live in, because we
have some amazing, amazing waters too.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
And that's the other thing, Like I think, you know,
for a kayaks, you can centralize and basically say all right,
let's go to enterprise today, and we're going to fish
out of enterprise, and you can go from here to here.
Here's your boundaries. Blah blah blah. I don't care if
you've got electric motor, powder motor, whatever. If you want
to swim behind it and push it, you can do it.
But but here's your deal. You can go within this

(01:20:24):
area and we're gonna fish for crappy today or this week,
or crappy and mudfish or crampy and brim or crampy
and bass and whatever. Blah blah blah. And then you
move down and you go to of course, you couldn't
go to Hagley.

Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
You go to Hills and you go for a redfish
bass combo.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
Where's Hills?

Speaker 8 (01:20:42):
They're not Hills? Your your place in Marina Marina Marine.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
Yeah, you know's.

Speaker 8 (01:20:48):
There's a perfect place that is a perfect place to
have a bass redfish combo.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
It is he keep it in the river. You don't
need to leave sampit. Nope, not at all. And in
that place you turned me on to over there at
the Rocky Point Marina. That is a gorgeous, gorgeous facility.
I don't know if you'll have part in that, but man,
it's done right. That place is beautiful. You've been there,
it is not it is absolutely Tommy's well, Tommy's with
the state now, but he was or County. He didn't

(01:21:12):
get to enjoy all that. That's right. That's Ryan and
Dozer and all that crowd.

Speaker 8 (01:21:16):
With the kayak crowd in these two areas, like I
just learned about that one in that place is stunning.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
Well, my problem is if I took Russ out there,
all he'd want to do is keep sliding down the
kayak claw it. Probably that's all he'd want to do
is ride the kayak claws. Didn't care, didn't care if
he had a kayak or not. He would just do
it himself. Well, i'll tell you what they kayak fishing
still continues to increase. What would if somebody wants to

(01:21:43):
get into it. They're trying to decide what kind of
kayak to get. What's the best way to go find
those I know you researched it. What's the best way
for somebody to research it?

Speaker 8 (01:21:50):
Good reputable get on the internet and YouTube as your friends.
Look at other people's reviews on the brands that you're
thinking of and see what they have to say. Find
you a rep dealer, not a use one, a dealer
in your area, even if you've got to travel a
little bit. A lot of the good dealers will let
you test run a kayak. They have demo kayaks that
you can take out for the day and see if

(01:22:12):
it's in your wheelhouse. Try before you buy. Don't be
like everybody starts with the two hundred dollars one more
tamarack and that's fine. I did it. Everybody does it.
Once you get out of that and you want to
spend your money, go sit in three or four different
brands and figure out which one is in your wheelhouse
for your stability level. That is the to me, that's

(01:22:32):
the biggest key of the whole deal.

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
There, you go, hey and try before you buy. The
great point. And there are so many different companies out
there now and each one is you know, got bonuses
and minuses themselves. But it depends on what you want.
If you're a bigger guy, you probably really more worried
about stability.

Speaker 8 (01:22:50):
That's it, and it's you're not gonna go spend fifty
sixty seventy thousand dollars on a corvette and not drive
three or four of them. Why are you looking at
gonna go spend possibly five to on the up pressure
on ten grand on a kayak without sitting in it
and feeling it on the water. First, you need to
do your due diligence.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
Do your due diligence. Well, listen, how can they do
their due diligence? And become a member of the Grand
Strand Kayak g.

Speaker 8 (01:23:13):
S KAA on Facebook. Grand Strand Kayak Anglers Association got
a beautiful picture of Dahoo Lake on our cover page.
Go right and we'll put you a member. Or find
me Don Smith on Facebook, send me an invite, friend request, whatever,
and I'll get you into the group.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
All right, posts, Listen, if you're into kayak fish, you
want to get into it, I'll tell you Don is great.
You want to you want to learn a lot about it?
Go fish with them, join with them. It's a great club,
great way to learn. And again, getting around those kayak
anglers is gonna be the best way. And share the skinny,
share the intel. Well, hey, Jenna, we're gonna go I'm
gonna hang up with you, Jen. I'm gonna call and

(01:23:50):
try and get our boys on the palm for a
couple of minutes down in bupert but we're gonna go
to break real quick. You're listening to the Trilogy Outdoors
Radio Show here on Gator one O seven point nine.

Speaker 4 (01:24:01):
Now back to the Sparks Toyota Tundras Studio and the
hosts of the Trilogy Outdoors Radio Show on Gator one
seven point nine.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
Yes, we missed all that, all right, And we're brought
to you by I Key West Boats, Marshall bring Lake
City in Georgetown every day, the boat show every day. Hey, hey,
every day every day? All right? So, uh, bred sitting in.
We didn't get Jason on the phone. I'm not gonna
try and call Chris. Uh. Typically Chris Rucks worked the top,
he's on the platform normally. I think the way they

(01:24:31):
fish from what I was told, so I didn't want
to bother him. But anyway, let's talk about weather fishing
down there is it and there are in Port Royal
sound Beauport area. Correct, Yes, Port Royal technically is Hilton
Headed No, No, not even close. Oh, okay, for Port
Royal is Is that where you and I went? Yes, Oh,

(01:24:56):
the where we went Kobe fishing out there. Yes, Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
The city limits of Beaufort and the city limits of
Port Royal butt up against each other everybody. Naval Hospital.
Port Royal traditionally was kind of a low rent area
back when I lived there years ago. But now it's
not anymore. You know, it's close proximity to the water,
and it's turned into a lot nicer area than it

(01:25:20):
used to be.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
It's nice.

Speaker 9 (01:25:21):
And they have several public landings down there, yeah, really nice.

Speaker 5 (01:25:24):
Yeah, and this one it's got plenty of courtesy docks
and a lot of people hang out there on the weekends.
Place called the Sands, which is adjacent to the ramp.
This basically just a sandy area instead of being muddy marsh,
just kind of sandy and sand bar.

Speaker 9 (01:25:40):
That's where they do that water festival.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
Yeah, that's in that's in right downtown.

Speaker 9 (01:25:45):
Yeah, and oh I've been there.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:25:47):
The sandbar right downtown is popular even at high tide.
It's about three foot deep, so people just pull up
there and hop out and get in the water. And
you know, during the water vessel it's the third week
of July. So it's a lot like Africa. Hots everybody
spends the day in the You had a beaupert Water Festival,
which is huge. Yeah, it was big when I was
a kid. They type of hodges playing races.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
And I think you said the best tip you could
give somebody years ago was to go right to the
first dn R coastguard, you see, let them inspect you,
check you, and put a sticker on the boat.

Speaker 5 (01:26:15):
My brother got checked seven times by dn R one time,
come from alv Gotti Creek to downtown, which is about
three miles. He got checked seven times, and uh, I
kind of wrote some letters after that, and the next
year they put a sticker on your on your boat, right,
that shows that you know, hey, I've been checked, and

(01:26:37):
that eliminated a lot of that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
Well, I'm sure there's boats down there that are teetering
on the edge over over occupancy. There's plenty of that
going slightly and they're probably like, okay, there's no way
they have eleven life jackets on that.

Speaker 8 (01:26:52):
Boat, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
So my brother what he would do is out of everybody,
put them around their arm, you know. And then so
when they looked at him and see ifbody that's smart.

Speaker 5 (01:27:01):
But as many life shackers as the weres is probably
h times ten that many beers on the boat.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
So you know, well, as Tommy well knows, I use
the tea bag at the back of the boat and
I have all my life jackets up.

Speaker 9 (01:27:13):
Oh I know, hey, and I'm pretty quick on the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
Yeah, they won't fly out of there when you're running
fifty five.

Speaker 5 (01:27:21):
But it's it's really busy and really crowded, and there's
restriction on your movement and stuff because they do air
shows and stuff, and you know, there's a lot of
partying going on and there's plenty of people that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
Deserve to get a visit.

Speaker 5 (01:27:38):
Oh yeah, den R has a huge presence there, and
they checked their big boat down here and anchored up
and kind of gives a guy a place to go
and stop and you know, get something to drink, that
kind of deal.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
But well, we're going to be promoting a couple different
things over the next couple of weeks, and man, maybe
we need a road trip next year for that and
do the radio show from the water. That's a great idea.
But we're going to be promoting a couple of different
things over the next couple of weeks great fundraisers. First
and foremost, let's talk about our kids Youth Fishing Rodeo Saturday,

(01:28:10):
September twenty eighth, and it is century friendly and accessible
from eight am to nine am, which is a great
thing that they've all started with these rodeos. Give it
an hour for those kids that need that special attention.
Let them have an opportunity to enjoy their time on
the water by themselves. General admission starts at nine is

(01:28:31):
till from nine till one. And this is all located
at the Solid Waste Authority in Or County and it
is on one seventy seven Environmental Parkway. I believe you
can pre register for this on Facebook at Ory County Police.
If you go to their Facebook page, you'll find the
registration there. It's free to join, open from ages five

(01:28:52):
to fifteen. And we promoted this last weekend as well.
We're promoted every week until then. We'll be there doing
the show live that Saturday, and let's just hope we
get some great weather. We're gonna have fun.

Speaker 11 (01:29:06):
Yes, it's a great time, you know.

Speaker 9 (01:29:09):
D n R.

Speaker 11 (01:29:10):
Also we do our youth fishing events there. That is
a it's it's a big here. It's incredible. It's a
big pond. It's beautiful. They've got the docs out there,
and to watch some of these young kids that get
out there catch fish, it's just awesome because they some
of them don't have the opportunity, they don't have the
gear to do it with. So kudos to Ri County
PD for for doing that. It was a very big success.

(01:29:33):
Last year. Chief was out there hanging out, so I
know he's gonna be there again this year, so you
know it will.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Be one of his last Yeah jobs, I.

Speaker 9 (01:29:42):
Think so they do.

Speaker 11 (01:29:45):
Yeah, So between D and R and and I do
believe I'm one hundred percent because Chief did call me
a few weeks back and asked me for the name
to restock. So I think I think they are restocked.
I think the recreation side of the Rie County has
paid for it to be restocked.

Speaker 9 (01:30:00):
You know, it was loaded.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
I was gonna say, I think it's loaded. It is.
That's my personal opinion, and from what I've heard is
it's loaded. They don't need to stock it, yeah, because
the kids need. The kids need to get to wiggle,
that's right. Yeah, they got to have a wiggle all right,
So I got a tribute question for Tommy. Do you
know what the South Carolina state horse is? No, you

(01:30:25):
really don't know, Tony, do you know? I just can't
say it. You you called them out this morning. I can't.
I can't even say it. It is the Carolina marsh
Tacky Horse, an incredible horse. By the way, if you've
never seen them, they're incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
Is that the ones like they got more?

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
D Uh? No, No, living I'm Colin Drew is probably
rolling over and going, yes, yes, but I don't think
it is. But they are a huge what do you
call them? Ah, they're working horse. They're big, like a Clausdale,
like a Clydesdale. They're very big. They're they're beautiful and

(01:31:03):
over the last five to ten years they've really worked
at bringing them back and bringing a lot of interest
into them, and that includes I'm trying to remember the
name of the television show that my friend David Grant hosted, Horsetails,
that was on here every Sunday morning.

Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
They go to sponsor a tournament. Right, they're doing a fundraiser. Yeah,
a tower shoot.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
They're doing a tower shoot, which none of us have
ever done, or have you, because none of us have
ever done it. Well, they're doing a tower shoot at
Cedar Swamp Shooting Preserve. It's on November second, and it's
six hundred and fifty dollars per blind up to six guns.
All right now, listen, here's two hundred and fifty birds
are going to be provided. Lunch is provided. You do

(01:31:45):
bring your own gun and AMMO and for some of
us that costs a lot itself. AMMO is available for
purchase on site as well. If you don't have any
and it's you can also if you want to sponsor
one of the blinds, you can sponsor them for one
hundred dollars blind sponsorship. I'm sure that means getting your
business name out there. But the marsh Tacky horses are
pretty incredible. Go google them, look it up, look at

(01:32:06):
some of the videos of them. They use them for
hunting through swamps, hog hunting. They're beautiful. There's geese. Is
that a state bird? Because it should be. If it's not,
it is, it should be. They were painting the bus
they use.

Speaker 9 (01:32:22):
When they do the deer drives.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
Yes, they do down there absolutely in the lower part
of the state. Yes, they do a lot of deer
driving with them. We've got another tournament coming up too.
We do have another tournament come up and it is
the no BS Fishing Tournament, and the dates on it
are October twenty sixth and it is out of Georgetown.
Georgetown Land and Marine are good friends over there. You

(01:32:48):
can go find it on Facebook for all the information.
No BS Fishing Tournament, and it is to raise money
for Hydrocephalus Association, which is basically water on the We've
all heard it termed as water on the brain. And
it is a trout, red fish and plounder inshore slam
tournament style two hundred dollars a team with youth prizes

(01:33:11):
and ladies prizes. We are going to definitely get a
team together for that. We'll figure out how we're going
to work that because kids are afflicted with that. Yes, yes,
yes exactly. Miss Annah Jane, who the tournament is in
memory of, is the reason they're running. They do this
tournament and they donate all the proceeds. Last year they

(01:33:31):
donated right at twelve thousand dollars from the tournament. So
a great cause and a great time to get out
on the water. And again, I mean October twenty sixth
could it be any better fishing in Georgetown. Yes, that's
a good time to be there, I mean a great
time to be there. So we're going to head down there,
and then let's talk about what else is coming up,
and that is the South Carolina Fall Classic. That is
the big King Michael tournament. That any boat and fishing.

(01:33:54):
When I see any boat, I mean anything seventeen foot,
I would tell you that we could have won it
in the seventeen We could have placed in the seventeen
foot of last year. Both days we fished, the water
was absolutely beautiful and we never went further than a
couple hundred yards off the beach.

Speaker 5 (01:34:09):
Well, at that time of year, beach fishing is going off.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Exactly we went off the beach. We was chasing what
was on the other end of our line, trying to
catch up too. We used to call that bikini fishing, yep.
And so this tournament, the cool thing is it's over
a month. So next weekend the Captain's meeting is September fifteenth, Sunday,
September fifteenth, from one to four pm at Telworker Marine

(01:34:34):
down in Georgetown. Mark brings a good party down there.
There's a cast net contest all kinds of great prizes
to give away. You can go there and register and
then the first fish day starts on Monday, September sixteenth.
The last fish day is October twenty fifth. So what
you got a month and ten days roughly.

Speaker 5 (01:34:53):
And Brent knows how to run a tournament from his dad,
so it'll be a good time, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
And we had a great I mean, the captains is
always fun. It's always fun to get down there and
get the skinny, you know, you get the skinny. And
I would almost be willing to bet that that first
three weeks there will not be a teen fish. And
that's because everybody knows that. Really the tournament has been
won in the last two weeks every year. Hev me that, George,

(01:35:18):
We're gonna wait which one the Georgetown? Okay, here we go.
There's all the information on that and the sponsorships. Anyway,
the Ward's airbony is Sunday, October twenty seventh for that
and it is down in Skull Creek Dockside Restaurant at
Hilton Head. We had a pleasure of driving down there
last year because we needed to. We had a bunch
of prizes we won McClure won you Vangler, we won

(01:35:39):
second place, we won small boat, we won a bunch
of stuff. We had a great, great tournament last year,
so looking forward to doing it again this year fishing
in it. And I think that's it for our current
events right now, but I'm sure we'll be adding plenty
more to that here in the coming weeks. And thank
