In this podcast, we sit down with Royce Dahnke of Cast’n Blast Charters which runs both inshore and offshore charters in Destin Florida. In this episode, Royce shares with me stories of his childhood, growing up and learning from his father who guided for nearly 50 years, and how Royce found his own love for fishing while sneaking into the school library to read books about fishing and the water. We also discussed his latest venture in offshore fishing. the similarities he has picked up on between deep sea and flats fishing, and the carryover he has experienced from also being an avid hunter.
Back to School: Casting with Austin Orr – Captains Collective Fishing Podcast
In part two of the Back to School mini-series, I sit down with Austin Orr of Elevate Fly Casting to talk about casting as a real craft, not just something you “figure out” by spending time on the water.
Austin is a full-time casting instructor and certified instructor through Fly Fishers International. We get into what beginners need to feel first, why most casters try too hard, how instruction should be built one piece at a time, and what it takes to prepare for real fishing situations where the shot matters.
This conversation covers casting triage, loop control, double hauling, fishing under pressure, saltwater sight-casting, how often to practice, what to do if you cannot afford instruction, and why the work should happen before you step onto the bow with a guide calling out fish.
