Ep:43 Chesapeake Bay Waterman- Capt. CJ Canby and Capt. Luke Mcfadden

"You Ain't No Crabber!" HA! Now this, was some great discussion! We rolled up our sleeves and did some deep divin' (well, not that deep because as we learned in this podcast the water quality of the Bay doesn't lend itself to clarity). Even so, we got into the nitty gritty details of what's going on with the water quality with, 2 guys who spend, let's just say, A LOT of time fishing it.
Bay fisherman and crabber of 26 years CJ Canby. Capt. of the FV Miss Paula. And fairly young (8 years) Capt. Luke Mcfadden of the FV Southern Girl. Don't let Luke's for lack of better terms "inexperience" fool you. He's been working on boats since about the age of 12 and has amassed millions of followers with billions of downloads on social media with his everyday quick video segments explaining exactly what is happening with "a day in the life of a bay waterman" His social media platform is telling a story with seriousness, humility, and humor.

If there is a day that these guys aren't fishing the bay in fishing season, then that's only because they're working on their gear. We cover it all. What got them started, (the old days) the fishing now, vs then. The water quality and how it effects their lively hood. What's is, or isn't being done about it, and why.

This one was so good we decided to follow up with maybe a more "lighthearted" vol 2 (Coming soon)

With that, as always let us know what you think. hit the like, and share.

Enjoy.
