Catch You Outdoors with Captain Rob Modys

Fishing, a visit to Key West and continued fun with my daughter and grandkids. Did some dining out and be sure to listen all the way to the end... hint, hint.

Summer finally arrived and the weather settled down. Perfect for boating, fishing and all other water sports here in the Florida Keys. Details about 3 fishing trips are included as well as some local news. Thanks much for listening.

I get this question often. Where can we stay in the Keys on a beach. Well, if you mean natural white sand beach, pretty much nowhere. We do have some natural beaches, but nothing like the pan handle, Sanibel, Fort Lauderdale or Daytona. But what we DO have, is the Keys, a beautiful string of islands. Thanks for listening!

Much too windy for small boats, but the weather has been mostly sunny and very warm. Summer is here. Need a change of pace. Head on down to the Florida Keys and enjoy the laidback life.

Chef Bob Spencer also known as Bobbie Bunz, the King of Bling, joined me for an interview about his chef life, his Moose life and his music life... And yes, I went fishing! Thanks much for listening!

This is a special edition of Catch You Outdoors all about my recent trip to Key West for the Songwriters Festival. Hope you enjoy it! The regular bi-weekly podcast will return on May 14th.

Finally back to fishing once the winds let down. It has most certainly been a very windy winter and spring. Also lots of music info and island news. Thanks very much for listening.

The title says it all. We had quite a few rainy days followed by very windy days. It kept me off the water in the backcountry, but it let me do a bunch of catching up with gardening, reading and songwriting. Thanks much for listening!

Finally got finished with the move, the weather improved, and finally headed back out on the water. A couple of days of fishing is included along with a bunch of information and insights about the Keys. Thanks for listening!

Some news, some stories and thrilled that the latest move is finally over. Boxes are unpacked and pictures are hung. Looking forward to doing the fishing thing, soon! Thanks much for listening!

It's springtime in the Florida Keys. The festivals are on, big time! We have also survived, what I hope is, the last cold front. Come on summer! Our move to the new digs is about to take place, and once it's over with I promise to get back on the water and go fishing!

We have finally moved from the well below normal temperatures, and it's absolutely gorgeous down here in the Florida Keys. The Festivals are happening and the fishing is on fire! Time to leave the cold and head to the islands.

Hello listeners! Over the past 2 weeks I've updated recording software, so there may be some volume loss in this podcast. If that's the case, obviously just turn it up a bit. I'm still woking on the mix. The week is all about where to eat, drink and be merry here in the Florida Keys. Hope you enjoy the trip!

One of my favorite singer songwriter musicians joined me for an interview. Billy Davidson has been entertaining listeners for over 35 years here in Keys and I finally pinned him down behind the Catch You Outdoors mic. There's also lots of news, a bit of weather and of course, "Useless Information."

A bunch of fishing trips and tips in this episode. Also a review of both Christmas and New Year's. Had some serious catching up to do. Thanks for listening!

Yes! I finally got back on the water searching for fish. Had a great time exploring and happy that I can share with you.

I talked my wife JoNell into sitting in with me to do a segment about the many state parks that can be visited here in the Keys. She's a WEALTH of knowledge. Hope you enjoy it!

This is a short one. Life got in the way with all kinds of errands and a very full calendar. I'm going to do my best to get back on the water this coming week. May the weather gods be kind.

The winds have finally died down, Fantasy Fest is over and US1 is manageable once again. At least for a while. Winter is coming. Thanks in advance for listening!

This week the interview is with artist Pasta Pantaleo. This is one of the most down to earth and interesting folks I've yet to run into down here in the Keys. We talked art, music, fishing and even football. Thanks in advance for listening!

I had an interview scheduled, but unfortunately it couldn't happen, but we'll try again. On the good side, my fishing friend is in town visiting, so I called and told him to get over here to the studio and let's talk fishing. I hope you enjoy the last minute schedule change.

This was a non interview week, so I ran with fishing. Just about everything you'd ever want to know about using artificial shrimp lures. I've had a ton of success using them and thought I'd pass along some tips.

Local historian Brad Bertelli joined me this past week. He knows more about the history of the Florida Keys than anyone I've met. Tune in and learn, and then be sure to look him up whether you live here or just visiting.

Season 5 has arrived. Some big changes in the show with the addition of more content, interviews and lots of additional Florida Keys information. Listen all the way to the end for a surprise! My special guest is JoNell Modys with Visit Florida Keys tourism. You might recognize her last name.

It was good to be back on the water after some perfectly awful weather here in the Keys... And the fishing was great, despite a huge king tide. Thanks much for listening!

We are all going to miss Flip Pallot. What an amazing man and voice for anglers. He was the one of reasons that I became a fishing guide. Tune in for my memories of him and also for what's happening down here in the Keys.

News and weather, along with tips about how to stay cool in the crazy hot summer weather of the Florida Keys.

It's been hot and very calm here over the past week. That's about to change, but we could use a nice breeze. Some FWC news and a fishing trip or two are also included this week.

Lots of rain this week, with thunderstorms and winds a blowing. So this week I plotted a to-do list for my bucket list. Thanks much for listening!

The weather is here, wish you were beautiful. Seriously, it's hot down here, but at least we are surrounded by water and we have swimming pools and air conditioning. Thanks for listening!

My wife JoNell's birthday fell on Memorial Day this year, so we celebrated her birthday all 3 day in Key West and Islamorada. Fun was most certainly had.

Finally got back on the water in a big way. Three trips over the past week. A few stories to tell, some decent fishing, and a very special place was found with some serious navigation. Enjoy!

The title pretty much says it all, however I'm finally getting back to island time. Fishing should be on the to-do list! Thanks for listening.

The title says it all. It was a stellar week with lots of music, friends and fun.

The Songwriters Festival is this week, so we are headed down to the end of the road. I added some fishing talk this week, and hopefully after the Festival I'll get back on the water. I can't wait!

The weather has been great down here in the Keys. A bit windy for fishing, but that makes for solid days by the pool soaking up the sun. The Spring Break push is over, so come on down while it's a bit less busy.

Yes indeed. I not only had the flu and recovered, it was quickly followed up by my first case of Covid. JoNell joined in on the fun too. But we are both feeling better now, and while it was a bit of a setback, we are finally nearing the end of the big move.
