In this podcast, we sit down for a Round Two with Brett Martina of Apalach Inshore. In this episode, Brett shares about what his “off season” is like, the importance of always pushing yourself to learn new things, how he manages clients, what he does to stay on top of an always changing fishery, and what he learned about life from a serious car accident Brett, his wife, and a close client got in a few years back. Brett also shares more stories about tarpon fishing as a kid in Apalachicola, and how in some ways he has changed, and in some ways he has found it important to stay the same.

Owen Gayler: Living Life & Selling Out Captains Collective Fishing Podcast

In this podcast we sit down with Captain Owen Gayler less than a year after his stage four cancer diagnosis to talk through what that journey has actually looked like. We cover the moment he got the call, the reality of treatment, and the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that came with it. We also talk about how the experience has changed the way he sees his life, his family, and his time on the water. The conversation moves through identity, ego, faith, and what it looks like to have everything stripped away and rebuilt. This isn’t a polished or overly structured interview—it’s an honest look at a difficult season and the perspective that’s come from it.
