About

Every Rod has a purpose.

Our Fishing Lives is a podcast for all things angling covering the waters of the Northeast and beyond.

Hear from well-known anglers, authors, fly tiers, photographers, captains, artists and experts about their perspectives and lessons learned from time on the water.

One of life’s great charms is unearthing the fascinating stories, unique thoughts and sharing in common passions. At it’s core, the connections and memories we make with the people and places where we fish are what make time on the water so appealing.

You can find episodes where you get your podcasts; (Apple, Spotify, Google).

From False Albacore and Stripers, to Tog, Fluke and Seabass, to Pelagic species and Mahi, to ocean surfcasting and light tackle in hidden creeks you can explore while wet wading on a lunch break – to learning about all together new fisheries.

Light up that Cigar, or whatever you’ve rolled and enjoy.

The funny fish were being picky, and the time between feeds seemed like forever. It wasn’t looking good. I had just clipped off a fly and was re-tying. As anyone who fishes for Albacore knows, that’s exactly when they tore along the jetty on small bait. I literally pulled the clinch knot tight, and backhanded no more then 6 feet of the leader into water. The eyes on the small yellow clouser made it sink, and brought it face to face with this Albie in the picture My friend Eric Amberson ran to his car to get the lens. Still remember this day like it was yesterday. It was a mixture of pure luck, timing and (some) skill. When I look at this picture, I forget all the mornings I’ve been skunked. That’s why we do this.
