Stuff We Like Inspired by our Travel
Fishing should be fun. Part of that is art and food and other things that don't put fish in the boat, but nevertheless make you enjoy the process more.
Oh, Just EAT IT
I get asked all the time: “Why don’t you eat the fish you catch?” The large majority of the fish Pete and I catch are released. Catch and release fishing is a conservation practice developed to prevent overharvest of fish stocks in the face of the growing human populations.
Our Best Fishing Meal of 2019
We are fortunate to be able to go to many luxurious fishing resorts with great food, and some not-so-luxurious ones that also have great food. That’s not a strict necessity, of course, so long as the fishing is good, but the Robbins family will go out of our way for exceptional eats. Hanna somehow manages to keep the pounds off through her Orange Fitness Theory cult, but my belly speaks for the both of us.
A Shirt That Supports Jugs
Jigalode – which, as their website points out, is definitely not “Gigoloed” – makes some serious clothing, like a performance hoodie whose sale benefits the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. They’ve also teamed up with local Florida artists to produce gorgeous thematic shirts, like one called “Focus” and another called “Exotic Invasive,” both of which evoke distinct Florida experiences.
Working the Pole
It’s not often your husband asks you to work the pole, but recently Pete made that request in order to ensure that we’d have a perfect fishing trip to Guatemala. Shortly before we left we needed to make sure that we knew how to get spectacular coverage of our sailfish with our GoPro as the lodge doesn’t take the sailfish fully out of the water and into the boat in order to take pictures.
