We start with casting—because let’s face it, most of us haven’t picked up a rod in a while. From roll casts to single hauls, we walk through simple ways to practice in your yard, how to set targets, and even why filming yourself can help. This segment is all about making those casts count once you’re back on the water.
Next up: weather apps.
Springtime in the South means fast-changing conditions, and a good weather app can be the difference between a memorable day on the water and one you’d rather forget. We share a story about getting caught in a sudden hailstorm (hint: don’t ignore the friendly cabin folks when they invite you out of the rain) and offer tips for timing your day to avoid the worst of the wind and crowds.
Finally, we talk about paying attention to what’s changed
since winter. High water events can move gravel bars, create new feeding lanes, and shift resting spots. We explain how to read these changes to find fish more effectively—and why being observant (or as we call it, “observating”) is one of the best tools in your kit this spring.
Whether you're brushing up your cast, watching the sky, or scanning the riverbed, these tips will help you start the season strong. Sign up for our newsletter,
follow the show, and we’ll see you on the water.

Excellent Customer Service.
Recently I had a problem with a pulley and lost
the anchor. So I contacted Keith at Tornado Anchors. I cannot remember the last time someone understood the problem, then went above and beyond. Keith's customer service is outstanding. This isn't a paid advertisement, it's simply letting you know how I highly recommend Tornado Anchors. The
products are very good, but the customer service is even better.
