April Vokey & Oliver Ngy Tackle a Notoriously Complex Bass Fishery in Florida | S1E04 | Das Boat
Рет қаралды 619,481
Күн бұрынLake Okeechobee-Florida’s inland sea of freshwater, grass, and largemouth bass. This week, Das Boat dives deep into Florida’s watery heart with a Candian and a Californian. The host of our own Anchored podcast, April Vokey, meets up with big bass expert Oliver Ngy and they try to figure out one of the most notoriously complex and rewarding bass fisheries in the country. Along the way, they discuss the iconography of Okeechobee, America’s obsession with bass, glitter boats, and the founders of Captains for Clean Water explain what’s being done about Florida’s water quality problems.

In recognition of this episode, along with last week's episode that both take place in Florida, MeatEater has teamed up with Captains for Clean Water to design a collab shirt that supports the awful state of Florida's water crisis. Help us support this important cause by shopping the shirt here:

Meateater & Steven Rinella are putting every single major Travel, Cooking, Hunting, and Fishing show on blast with this series. It's free and better quality than everything else out there. Network television will have a hard time matching shit like this.

I firmly believe that Steve Rinella is to Outdoorsmanship and Conservation, what Anthony Bourdain was to Culture and cuisine. I have pointed so many friends or family that have uninformed misconceptions about what hunting is, to his show. Because Steve has such a way with words to eloquently discuss and demonstrate what it means to be an outdoorsmen or woman and how spiritual it is to have that connection with what you put on your table. So Thank you! Steve and everyone that makes MeatEater possible.

I'm so glad that Captains for Clean Water is taking the initiative for us all. It takes guts to hold politicians' feet to the flames for something as important but overlooked as clean water and healthy fisheries. Thank you MeatEater for bringing us this important info!

I know it is insanely unlikely, but there is a fishing series in Australia that just recently started, and it would be amazing if Steve fished Arnhem land with them. Logistically it's ridiculous, but they have the same spirit as Steve when it comes to land, people and hunting. They are called fishing the wild in case anyone is interested. Not spamming, just a fan of well made fishing shows with some heart and artistry. Thanks for another great episode team.

I grew up in north Florida and I truly miss the waterways down there. Fishing with my ol man on the boat in all the different waters of Florida is forever in my heart. It’s one of the reasons I joined the navy. Now I live in North Carolina and my son and I love watching das boat. He’s 4 years old and already has fishing in his blood. All he talks about is when will I take him fishing again. We love this series and we can’t wait for the next episode.

If you ever need a forever home for das boat I'm Vice President of the Humboldt State University chapter of the American Fisheries Society and I've been hosting events to get fisheries biology students experience on the water fishing and we could really use a vessel! It would be truly life changing!
