EP. 67 The Future of the Fishing Industry

Posted by Angie Scott · July 09, 2019

Joe Simonds' Daughter with a Nice Snook!

"Why Fishing Will Die If We Don't Fix This..." That's a hard-hitting title of a recent podcast episode by Salt Strong's Joe Simonds. If that's not an attention grabber, I'm not sure what is! Needless to say, it certainly grabbed mine.

In songwriting, there's a phenomenon we talk about where two writers in two totally different locations and even genres will grab the exact same clever idea for a song out of the ether at the same time and write two very similar songs. I'm not saying that's exactly what happened here, but as we were planning this series on the importance of introducing new anglers to the sport of fishing I noticed our friends over at Salt Strong were on a similar tack. (Links to those episodes are included in our Additional Resources section below so you can go check them out, we highly recommend the listen.)

As we always say, "We're better together!" That's why I knew we had to have Joe back on the show for this important series. We wanted to continue the conversation from an industry insider standpoint and maybe put our collective heads together to see just what the solution is to save the future of the fishing industry.

As you'll discover in this episode, it doesn't seem as though there's one magical answer here but there's no doubt about that YOU play a huge part in the solution.

We hope you're enjoying this series, and I guarantee you will NOT WANT TO MISS next week's episode as we wrap things up on an incredibly high note!
