Welcome to the Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast. I started this podcast in August 2018 as a way to share sportfishing tips and insights from The Florida Keys. My motto since I started my charter business in 2012 has always been, "Anytime you're fishing it's all good!" and I hope that you share in my fishing passion and obsession!

  • Business, Marketing, and Fishing Trends We Saw at ICAST 2026

    Business, Marketing, and Fishing Trends We Saw at ICAST 2026
    Jul 17 2026
    Why would someone stop and look at your brand? What brand ideas are working and where are there some gaps? What ideas did we see and get inspired by at ICAST 2026? How can you build your brand in the new memory economy? Do you have an ecosystem built or are you still relying on the same marketing to build your brand? My wife Melinda Van Fleet and I attended the first day of ICAST 2026. We have a well-developed ecosystem as part of that is that I am also a buyer for the Chris's Bait and Tackle Shop at Tavernier Creek Marina. I not only picked up some new fishing product ideas but also... We were inspired by the human connection, collaborations, new products, marketing trends and more. There is more building a long-term brand than social media. You have to create reasons for someone to come back. Getting out fo your comfort zone and attending a marketing event is crucial to not only learn what's going on in brand building and event marketing but also customer experience, community building, brand loyalty, and relationship marketing. All of these intrinsic aspects of marketing also contribute to your ecosystem, which helps build a memorable business model not just an attention business model. What aspects are you focusing on?

  • Fishing Spots, Social Media & Mental Health— Why Awareness Matters

    Fishing Spots, Social Media & Mental Health— Why Awareness Matters
    Aug 3 2026

    After thousands of days on the water, you stop seeing isolated incidents and start seeing patterns. And captains and anglers may be thinking their own thoughts, but they're actually absorbing the state of what everyone is consuming on social media.

    Have you ever considered protecting your attention and mental health with the same awareness as you would protect your best fishing spot?

    I know I am not alone; what I see on the water isn't right.

    Mental Health isn't just therapy:

    It's how you respond when someone cuts you off, copies your work, steals your spots or challenges your decisions.

    And I have worked on awareness and managing my state so I can stay focused on catching fish for my clients.

    The trick is to start noticing the activation before it starts affecting your behavior.

    Otherwise, it starts to define your identity.

    Thank you for subscribing, listening and sharing this crucial conversation.

    Good conservation isn't just about protecting fish. It's about protecting the future of the sport.

    And let's not forget, "Anytime you're fishing it's all good!"
