On today's episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I'm joined by Austin, a Florida-based angler whose life revolves around fly fishing, hunting, travel, and personal style.

We start with where Austin's fishing journey began and when he made the switch to fly fishing. Fresh off a trip to Louisiana, Austin breaks down where he went, whether bull reds were the main target, and if the trip was a hosted experience.

We talk about other destinations he's fished on the fly, his favorite places so far, and why Florida might be one of the most underrated states in the country for outdoorsmen. From fly fishing to duck hunting, we dig into pressure on WMAs and waterways and how things have changed over the years.

We also shift gears into Austin's vintage clothing business, what inspired him to start it, and how his personal style carries over into the outdoors. From quail hunting in an orange Hooters hat to fishing trips with a unique look, Austin explains why staying true to yourself matters.

We wrap things up with Austin's five picks for the Trout Tunes Playlist, plus final thanks and plugs.

On today's episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Hunter, a Florida-based fly angler, trip host, and the voice behind the Captains Collective Podcast.

We kick things off with Hunter's early fishing roots and what pushed him to transition from conventional tackle to fly fishing. From there, we talk about what makes his corner of Florida unique compared to other fisheries around the state, and how local waters have shaped his approach to fishing and guiding.

Hunter opens up about his background in ministry and how that chapter of his life influenced his decision to start podcasting, build community, and eventually run hosted fishing trips. We dig into the Drifter Club trips he's been a part of, where those adventures have taken place, and the species they've chased along the way — plus where he'd like to take the group next.

We then transition into the Captains Collective Podcast — why Hunter started it, the meaning behind the name, and how storytelling has become such a central part of what he does. Hunter shares guests who've had a lasting impact on him, what helped the podcast grow, and the moment he realized this could become more than just a side project.

We wrap it up with Hunter's five picks for the Trout Tunes Playlist, plus final thanks and plugs.

In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Rob, the angler and guide behind Fishing On The Move Aruba — one of the island's most respected flats and inshore guiding services. We break down his fishing journey, what inspired him to start guiding, and how growing up in Aruba shaped the way he approaches both fly and spin fishing.

Rob walks us through the origin of Fishing On The Move, what the name represents, and how he crafts unique, flexible experiences for clients targeting species like permit, bonefish, tarpon, snook, and more. We also talk sustainable fishing practices, trip lengths, tidal considerations, fishing regulations, and what traveling anglers should know before stepping onto the flats.

From local insight to unforgettable stories, Rob shares some of his most memorable client trips, the hardest lessons he learned fishing in Aruba, and whether he's ever guided athletes or celebrities on the island.

Plus — Rob adds 5 songs to the growing Trout Tunes Playlist on Spotify.

Thanks for listening, and big shoutout to Riversmith for supporting the show.
