S12:E10 - “Great Bait! I’m Hooked” (2020)
Capt Scott Walker and Capt Steve Rodger break down the best-kept secret bait spots in the Keys.
Scott Walker is featured on the Tom Rowland Podcast explaining how to mark birds on the Simrad Halo Radar. Watch this video or listen to the audio version to learn how yo can use these settings on your own boat to mark more birds and catch more tuna!
When you buy your Simrad unit, it's going to come pre-loaded with the entire navigation of the United States - east and west coast including Great Lakes - but it's kind of basic. If you want to enhance that map you can use C-Map and C-Map reveal. I highly recommend you get this chip once your Simrad is installed.
S12:E9 - “Hawks Cay Wrecks” (2020)
Capt Scott Walker and Capt Steve Rodger explore the fertile waters around Hawk's Cay
Back in the day when we started using the radars to navigate inlets and find fish. We had to get to the boat early to turn the radar on and then wait. Yeah, and then once it warmed up, then you had to actually pick a target in the marina and set the gain on it set to sea state for the day and then going off that one marker you knew that you were dialed in for the day and you do every day.

Capts Scott Walker & Steve Rodger continue their search for Permit on wrecks in the Gulf of Mexico.
We're down to Key West we're going to go fishing this week. And Steve is going to put me on some of his favorite wrecks. And when we're on the wrecks (back in the day) we would mark them with a big meatball on top of it and we wouldn't know what we're looking at. We would figure it was bait and we'd be happy knowing that something was there.
Live crab is an excellent bait for permit-fishing, according to Walker and Rodger, but it’s usefulness extends beyond just this fish, as Walker discovers over their first wreck… Read more HERE.

Once the fish is done you can just pull the meat off the bones and start building your tacos. Add some lime juice and bring the pulled meat back to the grill while you wait on the corn to finish. Once this is all done, you can add your street corn sauce, and build your tacos with your preferred toppings.

The 4th Of July is a great time to have a hearty meal with friends and family and enjoy a firework show. One of my favorite things to do is cook steak on the 4th of July. Below is a recipe for Reverse Sear Steak and it has been shown by my friends and family to be a favorite meal!
This is a super easy party dish and works phenomenally with my Big Green Egg grill, your 4th of July party guests will love these so be sure to make a lot of them! The Lemon Pepper Smoked Wings can be made by taking 24 fresh wings and cut them into 2 pieces. To season, cover the wings in lemon pepper and smoke the wings at 250 degrees for 2 hours. Then coat the wings in BBQ sauce and turn up heat to 375 until the BBQ sauce caramelizes.

With parties during the holidays, the best appetizer you can do is a smoked fish dip. We love this Smoked Kingfish dip. We will cut it up into large chunks about the size of your hand so that they cook evenly and you smoke them skin down. Personally I like to marinate mine with lots of spice, pepper and teriyaki and brown sugar.

I like to take an average like 20 pound tuna and cut the loin into thirds. Then you have to get all the red meat off of it, which you do anyway to eat it. I like to get them about 4 inches long and about 2 stacks of that will fill a jar. I like them to be about a celery stalk.
