#52: The Voices in Our Heads

Together.
I’m sick of this mess. I’m sick of Big Sugar, and Discharges, and Red Tide and Mosaic and Cyanobacteria and Septic Tanks and Glyphosate. We’ve ravaged Charlotte Harbor, the Indian River Lagoon, Florida Bay, and the Kissimmee Watershed, from Shingle Creek all the way down . . . We’ve posted up our allegiances – BullSugar, Captains for Clean Water, The Rivers Coalition, Everglades Trust . . . “Vote Water” is the chant . . . We adamantly defend our choices – Desantis was at this rally, Levine really seems to have a handle on things, Graham’s family didn’t really want to destroy wetlands for a mall, maybe Chris King or…

#49: Discharges, Big Sugar, and Red Tide
It’s been a miserable summer in Southwest Florida – a never ending red tide bloom. Discharges from Lake Okeechobee. An election cycle. Our state sits in the midst of an ecological disaster that’s being tossed around like a political volleyball. Misinformation abounds. Divisions are drawn in the sand. Confusion reigns. This week, we take one episode to give you our thoughts. This is not our normal fare. This is pure, unfiltered, and raw. We’ll be back to jokes and punchlines and fishing tips and duck tricks next week. Follow Cast and Blast Florida . . .

#45: Random Thoughts
Nate’s second week as a fly-fisherman and we can’t tell if he’s gotten more pretentious or not.

#44: iCast 2018
Did Nate really just join a cult? Plus, we recap much of the new and noteworthy stuff we discovered at ICAST 2018 last week, including: GoLock: mygolock.com A mobile electronic locking system designed for Outdoorsmen. Seigler Reels: seigler.fish Wes Seigler taught himself how to work with metal and fashioned an ICAST 2018 Best in Show Fly Reel! Tactacam: tactacam.com We think this is BETTER than a GoPro – lighter, a better on/off system, AND zoom capabilities, plus lowlight features and a new fish cam! RidgeMonkey: ridgemonkey.co.uk What DO we want from RidgeMonkey? How about: A Modular Bucket that Travis is going to turn into the ultimate blind bag? Or what…
