Episode Show Notes
In this episode of CJ’s Reel Southern Podcast, Chad brings on his fishing crew — a mix of guides and friends he’s traveled and fished with for years. They share funny and crazy stories from the water, like breaking gear, getting stuck in shallow flats, and even mistaking big bonefish for sharks.
The crew talks about the teamwork it takes to fish together, the challenges of different waters like the Louisiana marsh and Florida flats, and how they’ve learned (and laughed) through plenty of mistakes. They also share how to book trips with them, whether it’s tarpon in Florida, redfish in Louisiana, or even fishing in Cuba. It’s a fun, laid-back conversation filled with good laughs, fishing tips, and the bond that comes from years of adventures together.
