Speaker 7: the fly Fishing round Up coming up this weekend out

1:48
Speaker 7: best website to remember is goodfly dot org. If you'll
1:51
Speaker 7: just go to goodfly dot org, it'll take you to
1:56
Speaker 7: the roundup tickets to the fly fishing, casting skills assessment testing.

Speaker 7: There's an online option. There's an all in evening experience

2:15
Speaker 7: Casting Cup hosted by Rio Anglers. There's a lot going
2:20
Speaker 7: on at Millken Reserve this weekend on Saturday. Okay, so
2:28
Speaker 7: hey go to all of it, go to a portion
2:30
Speaker 7: of it, bid online with the proceeds going to Good Fly.
2:36
Speaker 7: If you've been around us, you understand what that is.
2:40
Speaker 7: They do great work with first responders. This has become
2:46
Speaker 7: an annual event. It's a pretty cool thing. If you've
2:50
Speaker 7: never picked up a fly rod, they will teach you.
2:54
Speaker 7: If you consider yourself an expert, they will probably let
2:59
Speaker 7: you know that you're not. Nah, they'll be they'll be
3:02
Speaker 7: patient about it. But that's Saturday. Okay, out of Milican Reserve.
3:07
Speaker 7: Go to goodfly dot org and then proceed from there. Okay,
3:13
Speaker 7: goodfly dot Org. I was checking this because I don't
3:19
Speaker 7: do this anymore. It stuck hunting South Zone against November one,
3:23
Speaker 7: North Zone November eighth. Early optimism is fading because of
3:29
Speaker 7: the drought. We had good rain this summer. Lots of
3:35
Speaker 7: heat birds will be concentrated in areas where active management
3:41
Speaker 7: has maintained fresh habitat uh the program. Waterfowl program leader
3:48
Speaker 7: Kevin Krye from Texas Parks and Wildlife says hunters who
3:51
Speaker 7: scout actively and find fresh shallow water will have the
3:56
Speaker 7: best opportunities, and we'll probably we'll talk more about that
4:02
Speaker 7: coming up. Let me mention that Tuesday. Dan Beck author
4:09
Speaker 7: on Michael Jackson. He was Michael Jackson's contact at Epic
4:15
Speaker 7: Records for five years. He has stories about the Kingdom
4:18
Speaker 7: pop as you would imagine, most of them good, but
4:24
Speaker 7: dan Beck will join us on the program on Tuesday.
4:31
Speaker 7: It was brought to my attention last night that one
4:37
Speaker 7: of our favorite outdoor people has passed away, Cajun Phil Broussard.
4:43
Speaker 7: He and his son Kevin host Cajun Paradise Lodge down
4:49
Speaker 7: in Hackberry. He and Kevin were the most successful redfish
4:55
Speaker 7: tournament fishermen ever. These guys know what they're doing. Cajun
5:01
Speaker 7: Phil was a character and in some cases a caricature
5:07
Speaker 7: of everything you would think about a swamp outdoorsman in Louisiana.
5:12
Speaker 7: He was it. We're going to hear from him an
5:15
Speaker 7: interview I did three years ago when we were down
5:18
Speaker 7: at the lodge. I'm going to play that later on
5:23
Speaker 7: in this hour for you, and I tell you he
5:30
Speaker 7: he was just a character, and he and Kevin had
5:34
Speaker 7: a great relationship. It was always fun to see them
5:37
Speaker 7: together and how Kevin treated his father. And they built
5:43
Speaker 7: this business, I mean to a unbelievable business, and it
5:48
Speaker 7: got wiped out twice by hurricanes and they rebuilt it
5:53
Speaker 7: and they're going strong. And I texted a little bit
5:57
Speaker 7: with Kevin today after I found out about Phil, that
6:01
Speaker 7: you will you will remember him when when I play
6:05
Speaker 7: the interview you probably already do. If you met him,
6:08
Speaker 7: you would never forget him. So we will do a
6:14
Speaker 7: little tribute to Cajun Phil in the back half of
6:18
Speaker 7: this hour coming up. So we got that going on
6:21
Speaker 7: for us, which is nice. Let's see, I'm not going
6:27
Speaker 7: to do that one right now. I'm not sure, all right,
6:34
Speaker 7: hate these things, and there's more and more of these
6:38
Speaker 7: things coming up too. You know, four dogs attacked and
6:45
Speaker 7: killed a Florida woman after she fell unconscious during a
6:49
Speaker 7: medical emergency. Offers officers responded to a Daytona Beach area
6:56
Speaker 7: home last Friday evening. The victim's boyfriend stated that he
7:01
Speaker 7: had gone to the residence after being unable to reach
7:04
Speaker 7: his girlfriend by phone. Upon entering, he located her unresponsive
7:10
Speaker 7: on the floors and immediately contacted emergency services. And this
7:16
Speaker 7: is just becoming more and more common in all areas,
7:21
Speaker 7: not just rural areas, that dogs are running loose.
7:27
Speaker 6: Now.
7:29
Speaker 7: I have seen owners prosecuted if they can't keep their dog,
7:34
Speaker 7: you know, contained, which they should be. I have seen
7:39
Speaker 7: dogs put down, which they should be. But if you
7:45
Speaker 7: have dogs, people come on, use a little common sense. Oh,
7:49
Speaker 7: they wouldn't hurt anybody. It's like wild animals. When you
7:54
Speaker 7: hear these stories like, oh, this never happens while we're
7:57
Speaker 7: talking about it, and obviously happened, didn't it. I mean,
8:05
Speaker 7: and there's this in North Carolina. A puppy survived an
8:10
Speaker 7: animal attack and now needs a new home. Pluto had
8:15
Speaker 7: surgery to remove his injured eye and his healing hey
8:19
Speaker 7: like Revelly. As of October tenth, he was listed among
8:23
Speaker 7: the animals available for adoption. Even through all that, I'm
8:30
Speaker 7: a super sweet boy, says the shelter. While the doctor's
8:34
Speaker 7: examined me, I never stopped giving kisses and wagging my tail.
8:40
Speaker 7: It doesn't say what kind of animal attacked Pluto, and
8:47
Speaker 7: I realized there are all kinds of dog owners, somewhat
8:54
Speaker 7: the little tail wagging lap dogs, somewhat a dog that,
9:01
Speaker 7: if needed, can protect them. So, but there's lots of
9:09
Speaker 7: animals in our area too, right, I mean, it's not
9:13
Speaker 7: just Florida where alligators are eating dogs, when people are
9:15
Speaker 7: walking dogs. It it can happen around here. There are
9:20
Speaker 7: animals that will carry off dogs, right. There are bobcats around,
9:27
Speaker 7: of course, There are coyotes around, of course. So those
9:34
Speaker 7: of you keep animals, I hope know all of this.
9:36
Speaker 7: I'm just saying that if you have dogs, keep them
9:47
Speaker 7: know where they are, Okay, because this stuff is coming
9:50
Speaker 7: becoming to me much much too commonplace as far as
9:56
Speaker 7: I'm concerned. All Right, we're going to go back in
10:01
Speaker 7: time right now. Uh oh, let's do this first. Let's
10:07
Speaker 7: do this first. Our animal attack segments are brought to
10:11
Speaker 7: you each week by Shilty Roofing, Home of the Bulletproof
10:15
Speaker 7: Roof Guarantee.
10:17
Speaker 8: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
10:19
Speaker 8: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around and then
10:21
Speaker 8: I found Shorlty Roofing and point I'm glad I did.
10:24
Speaker 8: The folks at Shulty guided me every step of the way.
10:27
Speaker 8: They showed me my options. They told me what my
10:29
Speaker 8: out of pocket cost would be after insurance. They took
10:32
Speaker 8: the complication out of an otherwise very stressful situation.
10:35
Speaker 7: They took off the.
10:36
Speaker 8: Damage roof, put on the new roof, did all the cleanup,
10:39
Speaker 8: and I had my new roof in one day.
10:43
Speaker 7: The Home by the Bullet Roof. Okay, as I said
10:48
Speaker 7: before the break, we are going to hear an interview
10:53
Speaker 7: that I did. It's been probably five years. It's very
10:58
Speaker 7: interesting to me. Brian Irwin. It's a physician, but a
11:02
Speaker 7: passionate fly fisherman that had been to the Bahamas many times.
11:08
Speaker 7: He happens to be a pilot. And if you'll recall,
11:13
Speaker 7: Abaco Island, which is a great island in the Bahamas,
11:18
Speaker 7: was just flattened by a hurricane, flattened, wiped out. Brian
11:25
Speaker 7: Irwin started flying supplies down there and came to my attention.
11:32
Speaker 7: I thought he had some pretty cool stories to tell
11:37
Speaker 7: about going into a place that had nothing. The people
11:43
Speaker 7: there are very resilient, they're very poor. They need help.
11:48
Speaker 7: The best way, I always say is be a tourist.
11:52
Speaker 7: That's where the majority of their dollars come from. And
11:55
Speaker 7: they're still building things back in Aboco from that devastating hurricane.
11:59
Speaker 7: Here's the end we did with Brian Irwin. We're going
12:04
Speaker 7: to jump out to the Player's Fund Center phone line
12:06
Speaker 7: right now and visit with doctor Brian Irwin. He is
12:11
Speaker 7: a physician. He's also the New England field editor for
12:14
Speaker 7: Fly Fisherman Magazine. He's done some work with Bonefish and
12:19
Speaker 7: tarp and trust and I dare say he was one
12:23
Speaker 7: of the first volunteers in Abaco after the hurricane. Am
12:27
Speaker 7: I right about that, Brian.
12:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, there were a few other groups down there, but
12:32
Speaker 9: there really wasn't much of a presence. There were there
12:36
Speaker 9: were two not for profits, one called Sagred Heart, and
12:39
Speaker 9: they sent down a couple physicians, but it was really
12:43
Speaker 9: not adequate. So yeah, I was, I was on the
12:46
Speaker 9: early side.
12:47
Speaker 7: How did you get in to begin with?
12:51
Speaker 9: Well, I have a friend who owns a bone fishing
12:55
Speaker 9: lodge there, Oliver White, who's a pretty well known fisherman,
13:00
Speaker 9: and a friend of his there was no commercial air
13:03
Speaker 9: traffic getting in there, right, so the only way to
13:06
Speaker 9: get in was with the private charter. The charter out
13:09
Speaker 9: of Fort Lauderdale that brings his clients down is this
13:19
Speaker 9: man by I'm sorry, he owns air flight charters, Yes,
13:24
Speaker 9: and he doesn't have any clients to bring down because
13:28
Speaker 9: the lodge was destroyed. So what he did was repurpose
13:31
Speaker 9: all five of his planes into relief vehicles and took
13:33
Speaker 9: out all the seats and he flew down I think
13:36
Speaker 9: it was about one hundred and twenty missions. Wow, over
13:39
Speaker 9: the period of like two months, all out of his
13:42
Speaker 9: own pocket. I mean, he's quite an amazing man. His
13:45
Speaker 9: name is Chris Stark. You know he drives a Ferrari.
13:49
Speaker 9: He works in a soup kitchen, and so he got
13:52
Speaker 9: me down there and made some connections with a group
13:56
Speaker 9: of people who used to run a dive service. They
13:58
Speaker 9: were able to source a house for me to say
14:00
Speaker 9: in that you know, half of the house was still
14:03
Speaker 9: standing and its scene structure of plan impact. They found
14:06
Speaker 9: me a suburban and then I applied for a temporary
14:11
Speaker 9: medical license through the Ministry of Health and got set
14:15
Speaker 9: up with permission. Then I did some fundraising on my
14:18
Speaker 9: own and brought down enough antibiotics and medications to treat
14:21
Speaker 9: about fifteen hundred people, and we kind of took it
14:24
Speaker 9: from there.
14:25
Speaker 7: Can you describe the devastation that you witnessed when you
14:29
Speaker 7: first got there.
14:32
Speaker 9: It's almost impossible to describe the you know, the the
14:37
Speaker 9: area called the mud which is in Marsh Harbor. The
14:40
Speaker 9: largest city was the shantontown of Haitian Haitian refugees, and
14:48
Speaker 9: they it was completely destroyed. The harbor's right there. Container
14:53
Speaker 9: ships and all the containers rode a thirty foot storm
14:57
Speaker 9: surge that literally went through the entire village and level
15:00
Speaker 9: every single thing. The only thing standing there was a
15:03
Speaker 9: single toilet. Everything else was destroyed and all bodies were lost.
15:07
Speaker 9: There were three hundred people in a temporary shelter there,
15:10
Speaker 9: and it just rolled through the shelter and killed everybody.
15:14
Speaker 9: It was, you know, really unbelievable to you know, to
15:18
Speaker 9: see the levels of the station. There's no running water there,
15:22
Speaker 9: there's no power there, So it was it was quite harrowing.
15:28
Speaker 9: We were able to, you know, help a lot of people,
15:31
Speaker 9: and I feel like we made a difference, but there's
15:33
Speaker 9: a lot of work to do, you know, and now
15:35
Speaker 9: with COVID, they have another challenge on their hands.
15:37
Speaker 7: So I think that marsh Harbor had a lighthouse, did
15:41
Speaker 7: it not.
15:43
Speaker 9: I believe that it's right off off marsh Harbor in
15:47
Speaker 9: a different key. Yeah, I think it's called Lighthouse Key.
15:50
Speaker 7: Actually, Okay, do we know we have any idea of
15:54
Speaker 7: how many died, because there's never been I think any
15:59
Speaker 7: you know, official number.
16:03
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it varies depending on who you ask. I
16:07
Speaker 9: think the official death count was around six hundred, with
16:10
Speaker 9: two thousand missing who were never never recovered, So it
16:14
Speaker 9: was a lot greater than those you know, figures sort
16:17
Speaker 9: of imply. I mean, the stories that you would hear
16:21
Speaker 9: from these people were absolutely horrible. I mean there was
16:25
Speaker 9: a man holding his child's hand and holding his grandfather's
16:31
Speaker 9: hand as they were walking across the street in wastkeep Water,
16:34
Speaker 9: and a wave came in and took the child and
16:36
Speaker 9: the grandfather. And in the ocean, I mean, there was
16:39
Speaker 9: another couple that they were expatriates who sent you, spent
16:43
Speaker 9: all their money on a multimillion dollar beach front home,
16:46
Speaker 9: and they tried to weather it out. And they were
16:48
Speaker 9: sitting on the couch looking at their bay window as
16:51
Speaker 9: the big wave came in and just sucked them right out.
16:54
Speaker 9: They were holding onto a log and they lost the log,
16:57
Speaker 9: and the wife was grasping him because she was drowning,
17:01
Speaker 9: and she was effectively drowning him, so he had to
17:03
Speaker 9: let her go. And you know stories like that, you
17:07
Speaker 9: know hundreds and hundreds of stories like that.
17:11
Speaker 7: Do you have an idea of an update? Have you
17:15
Speaker 7: been back since?
17:19
Speaker 9: I have not been back since, but Chris starked, the
17:23
Speaker 9: pilot and I have become good friends. We actually just
17:26
Speaker 9: took another fishing trip to Andros to do some bone
17:29
Speaker 9: fishing together, and he said it's not really made much
17:33
Speaker 9: progress at all. The you know, the one of the
17:37
Speaker 9: big problems is the corruption there, Yes, there was. The
17:41
Speaker 9: relief ships all come into Marsh Harbor and that's where
17:44
Speaker 9: the military is based. So that's in the southern tip
17:48
Speaker 9: of the Bigger Islands, and then Little Abaco is north
17:52
Speaker 9: and that was cut off as the bridge was washed out.
17:55
Speaker 9: So there are five villages in the in the North
17:57
Speaker 9: Island and all of the all of the supplies are
18:01
Speaker 9: coming into the South Island and they're being stolen by
18:04
Speaker 9: the military and then sold for a profit. There's a
18:07
Speaker 9: lot of profits hearing going on where the relief supplies
18:10
Speaker 9: are not getting in the hands of the people that needed.
18:13
Speaker 9: Chris Dark actually personally measured every home on the North Island,
18:20
Speaker 9: affessed what they needed for repair materials, went back to
18:24
Speaker 9: the States and secured the money, a lot of it
18:26
Speaker 9: his own, to buy all of the supplies shrink wrap
18:29
Speaker 9: each home supplies up on a separate pallet, chartered a
18:35
Speaker 9: container ship to bring it over and sneak into a
18:38
Speaker 9: now defunked harbor in the North Island, offloaded all and
18:42
Speaker 9: drop it in everybody's front yard.
18:43
Speaker 6: Wow.
18:44
Speaker 9: To see that in action was you know, I mean,
18:47
Speaker 9: this man's going straight to heaven.
18:52
Speaker 7: So I had heard from I don't know a periodical
18:57
Speaker 7: or some other fishermen that Green Turtle Kay was reopening
19:02
Speaker 7: at least.
19:04
Speaker 9: Yeah, I believe that's true. They have a large number
19:09
Speaker 9: of expatriots who live there. Their finances are in better shape.
19:13
Speaker 9: The Green Turtle Club, which I've stayed at before, was
19:17
Speaker 9: largely destroyed, but as I understand, they pretty much rebuilt. Yes,
19:22
Speaker 9: so they were ahead of the curve. They were already
19:24
Speaker 9: on their feet before anybody else.
19:26
Speaker 7: So, as far as you know, would that be the
19:29
Speaker 7: only lodge that's open in that area right now?
19:36
Speaker 9: That is correct? There are some guest houses on scattered
19:39
Speaker 9: outline keys that didn't get hit quite as hard, but
19:43
Speaker 9: I know of no other lodges. All of the lodges
19:47
Speaker 9: on Andrew's Abbatot Proper, I believe, are still decimated.
19:54
Speaker 7: It seems superfluous to be talking about fish during this
20:01
Speaker 7: time when people are fighting for their lives and still
20:03
Speaker 7: have no place to live and very little to eat
20:09
Speaker 7: because of the finances. As you've mentioned, do you see
20:14
Speaker 7: things being rebuilt? Do you see lodges in the future
20:18
Speaker 7: that might be rebuilt or well, it takes some new
20:21
Speaker 7: people to come in and have a vision for that.
20:25
Speaker 9: Well, I believe that Oliver White was planning on rebuilding
20:29
Speaker 9: his lodge. And there's another lodge I believe it's called
20:32
Speaker 9: Blackfly Lodge that I believe is opening up soon. You know,
20:38
Speaker 9: you're correct, and you know talking about fishing and you know,
20:42
Speaker 9: in the face of you know, the struggles that these
20:45
Speaker 9: people have, but the reality is that tourism.
20:48
Speaker 7: That's their likelihood, that's their livelihood.
20:53
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean their economy was based off of that,
20:55
Speaker 9: and so you know, there were a lot of relief
20:57
Speaker 9: efforts to generate money to pay the guide, yes, to
21:02
Speaker 9: feed their families in the light of this time when
21:05
Speaker 9: they were unemployed. One such organization is set up through
21:11
Speaker 9: Yellow Dog Outfitters in Montana that runs hosted trips down
21:16
Speaker 9: there and they have a foundation, a community foundation. I
21:20
Speaker 9: believe they raised a half a million dollars they actually
21:23
Speaker 9: paid for the medow took down there.
21:26
Speaker 7: I think Bonefish and Tarparin Trust did the same thing,
21:29
Speaker 7: did they not, Yes.
21:31
Speaker 9: They did, they did. They've been focusing more on assessing
21:36
Speaker 9: how the fishery was damaged and how the deaf floor
21:39
Speaker 9: in the flats was restructured, what kind of hit the
21:42
Speaker 9: mangroves took, and what it would take for the population,
21:46
Speaker 9: you know, to be restored, the bonefish population.
21:49
Speaker 7: I have seen some reports from that that obviously the
21:54
Speaker 7: mangroves are severely damaged, but that they have undertaken a
21:59
Speaker 7: projeck to try and restore some of them, and according
22:04
Speaker 7: to at least some reports, the fishing there remained very good.
22:11
Speaker 9: That's what I found as well. I didn't fish when
22:15
Speaker 9: I was there, but I met quite a few guys
22:18
Speaker 9: who had been going out, and they said, you know,
22:20
Speaker 9: the fishery actually held up quite well. When I saw
22:24
Speaker 9: the mangrove damage, I was actually underwhelmed. I think they
22:29
Speaker 9: held up fairly well. The problem is the cross pollination
22:33
Speaker 9: between bushes is now challenging because every other mangrove was
22:37
Speaker 9: ripped out. But that should fill in.
22:41
Speaker 7: What's the name of Oliver White's lodge there?
22:46
Speaker 9: It was the Abaco Lodge.
22:48
Speaker 7: Oh okay. So what would be the best way for
22:54
Speaker 7: people who have been down there and have bonefish down there?
22:59
Speaker 7: How would you see just they go about helping maybe
23:04
Speaker 7: speed up the process for the locals there.
23:08
Speaker 9: I think the best thing you can do is visit
23:11
Speaker 9: and fish and inject money into their economy. That's really
23:15
Speaker 9: what it's going to take for them to rebuild on
23:17
Speaker 9: their own. There's not a very efficient way to get
23:20
Speaker 9: physical material goods down there. The water supply has been
23:25
Speaker 9: restored as I understand it, there's a lack of food
23:31
Speaker 9: down there. Yes, that was a major problem getting food
23:34
Speaker 9: into the country. I think that's really gotten much much better.
23:37
Speaker 9: But for three months, a not for profit called the
23:40
Speaker 9: World Health Kitchen that operates all over the world dropped
23:45
Speaker 9: in with a humongous supply of food and they would
23:49
Speaker 9: make lunches and dinners in big aluminum trades and drop
23:55
Speaker 9: them off on every key at every church, at the hospital,
24:00
Speaker 9: at the clinic and would feed. You know, they fed
24:03
Speaker 9: the whole area for three months, and it was really
24:07
Speaker 9: impressive to see it.
24:08
Speaker 7: Had you been in touch with anyone on Grand Bahama Island.
24:15
Speaker 10: No No.
24:15
Speaker 9: I met someone who was in Freeport when it hit,
24:21
Speaker 9: and there's a large bridge in Freeport, and I guess
24:25
Speaker 9: the sea level had risen to the point where the
24:28
Speaker 9: border was at the bridge level. It's a high bridge too,
24:32
Speaker 9: So he and his friend launched on jet skis and
24:36
Speaker 9: went rooftop to rooftop and evacuated fifty people, and then
24:40
Speaker 9: he left there because he had nowhere to live. His
24:42
Speaker 9: home was destroyed and he came over to Abaco. So
24:46
Speaker 9: I got some reports, but I didn't personally speak with
24:48
Speaker 9: anybody on Grand Bahama.
24:50
Speaker 7: Do you have any plans in the near future to
24:53
Speaker 7: return to Abaco?
24:55
Speaker 9: I would like to do that. It's in his you know,
24:57
Speaker 9: the pandemic allows commercial air travel again. You know, Chris
25:02
Speaker 9: Dark and I have continued to talk about providing more
25:05
Speaker 9: medical relief and you know, hoping, hoping to continue to
25:12
Speaker 9: resupply them as well. So I'd like to do that
25:14
Speaker 9: in the fall, if that.
25:16
Speaker 7: Is Yeah, I mean we need to point out this
25:20
Speaker 7: is like a double whammy. Uh, they were had not
25:24
Speaker 7: really gotten back on their feet since Dorian and I know,
25:28
Speaker 7: we were scheduled to go to Long Island last month
25:32
Speaker 7: to do some bone fishing and the everything got shut down.
25:35
Speaker 7: All the flights into the country were shut down because
25:39
Speaker 7: of the COVID virus. So they they have really paid
25:42
Speaker 7: a price there the last couple of years.
25:46
Speaker 9: Yeah, they really have. And you know, if if COVID
25:50
Speaker 9: continues to spread in you know, in their population, we
25:54
Speaker 9: really don't have much in the way of medical resources.
25:57
Speaker 6: Yes, there was one.
25:58
Speaker 9: There's one ventilator on the island. Wow, you know, in
26:02
Speaker 9: the in the clinic and that was about it. You know,
26:07
Speaker 9: out back the clinic there when I was there, there
26:09
Speaker 9: was a refrigerator truck full of corpses because the morgue
26:12
Speaker 9: was full. And that was you know, that was an October.
26:16
Speaker 7: Yeah. Uh so it's it's the situation doesn't sound like
26:21
Speaker 7: it's it's been mitigated very well, at least up till now.
26:28
Speaker 8: Yeah.
26:28
Speaker 9: I mean the flow of money through that country is
26:32
Speaker 9: you know, also somewhat corrupt. Yes, as I love the
26:35
Speaker 9: Bahamas and the beginnings, you know, it's coming out of NASA.
26:39
Speaker 9: It doesn't all get to, you know, all of the
26:41
Speaker 9: out islands where it's supposed to get to.
26:43
Speaker 7: Did you understand that before this happened or was that
26:46
Speaker 7: a surprise to you?
26:47
Speaker 6: Brian?
26:49
Speaker 9: It was a surprise. I had been down there half
26:52
Speaker 9: a dozen time fishing, yes, saying at.
26:54
Speaker 7: Lodges, and I had never seen that personally. That's why
26:57
Speaker 7: I'm asking.
26:59
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean my experienced prior to Dorian had been
27:02
Speaker 9: one of the opulance at the Dodges, where I was
27:04
Speaker 9: fortunate enough to do some travel writing. So I was
27:08
Speaker 9: I was kind of shocked to learn that there was that.
27:10
Speaker 7: Undercurrent, right exactly, but whether there's money involved, Unfortunately, most
27:17
Speaker 7: places in the world you're going to see that. So
27:21
Speaker 7: I have told people on many occasions that the Bahaman
27:24
Speaker 7: people are about as fine as people as I've ever been,
27:26
Speaker 7: and they they understand that tourism pays their bills, and
27:31
Speaker 7: you couldn't have a better group of people down there.
27:35
Speaker 9: I completely agree with that. Everybody that I met after
27:40
Speaker 9: they were you know, finished telling me their story, would
27:44
Speaker 9: laugh and smile. Pure optimism. Yeah, there's a lot of support,
27:50
Speaker 9: a lot of community feeling there. They're they're really a
27:55
Speaker 9: wonderful people.
27:56
Speaker 7: I guess what I would say in closing is I
27:59
Speaker 7: would incourage people to go online and maybe find you
28:06
Speaker 7: mentioned Black Fly Lodge and find maybe a place or
28:11
Speaker 7: two that may be open. I know that Green Turtle
28:14
Speaker 7: Club has just reopened, and when this pandemic ends and
28:19
Speaker 7: they reopen, the best way, as you mentioned, to help
28:24
Speaker 7: is to go spend money there.
28:27
Speaker 9: I completely agree.
28:29
Speaker 7: I really appreciate the time, Brian, fascinating. I thank you
28:34
Speaker 7: for filling us in on what's going on.
28:37
Speaker 9: Well, thank you so much for having me.
28:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, I hope you enjoyed that. Just a little background
28:43
Speaker 7: from the hurricane and Abaco years five years ago now
28:51
Speaker 7: closer to six. But maybe I'll give you a personal
28:55
Speaker 7: report in a few months.

Speaker 7: join us on the program on Tuesday. And coming up,
33:19
Speaker 7: as I mentioned at the top of the hour, we're
33:22
Speaker 7: going to do our own little tribute to Cajun Phil Brusard,
33:29
Speaker 7: who left us a couple of weeks ago. We've been
33:34
Speaker 7: down to his lodge with son Kevin many times, and
33:40
Speaker 7: the world lost a character. I'm just telling you that.
33:42
Speaker 7: And we'll hear that interview that I did with him
33:45
Speaker 7: three years ago when we were down there. Two hikers
33:49
Speaker 7: are recovering after they were seriously injured in a grizzly
33:53
Speaker 7: bear attack in Canada three days ago. The hikers in
33:58
Speaker 7: Canaday Mama Bear and two cubs in British Columbia I'm
34:02
Speaker 7: a Gregor Mountain. They are listed in stable condition. After
34:08
Speaker 7: an investigation, folks at Canada determine the bears action were defensive.
34:15
Speaker 7: No action will be taken against the bears due to
34:19
Speaker 7: the location and nature of the incident. Hikers have been
34:25
Speaker 7: told to avoid the Past Lake area. In the wake
34:28
Speaker 7: of the attack. Em and MacArthur says investigators are looking
34:33
Speaker 7: to exactly what happened. The CSO offered some safety tips.
34:38
Speaker 7: I always liked these. The tips include staying alert. What
34:42
Speaker 7: a great tip. Guys stay alert in bear country, making
34:51
Speaker 7: noise regularly to avoid surprising a bear. I've said this
34:54
Speaker 7: before when I went to Alaska. The guides there wear
34:57
Speaker 7: cowbells around their necks. They also carry very large lethal
35:04
Speaker 7: side arms and bear spray. Okay, their job is to
35:09
Speaker 7: keep the group safe. That group's paying a lot of
35:11
Speaker 7: money to go fishing in Alaska. They wear cowbells just
35:15
Speaker 7: so they won't surprise traveling groups carry bear spray, keep
35:22
Speaker 7: a clean camp. MacArthur specifically recommended that the hikers carry
35:29
Speaker 7: the noisemakers, avoid bear habitats, fresh track, scat, animal carcasses. Yeah,
35:39
Speaker 7: be aware of that. And if you encounter a bear
35:44
Speaker 7: the old stay calm and don't run, but slowly back
35:49
Speaker 7: away in a calm voice. If the bear charges, spray them.
35:59
Speaker 7: You don't have spray shoot him. If you don't have
36:04
Speaker 7: a gun, pray. That's all I can say. After repeated
36:13
Speaker 7: leopard attacks in the Pune district in Inja, fifty leopards
36:20
Speaker 7: will be transferred to animal rescue and rehab This week,
36:26
Speaker 7: a six year old girl was killed in a leopard attack,
36:30
Speaker 7: the third death of the year. The district's guardian minister said,
36:36
Speaker 7: we have spoken to the Minister of Environment forced in
36:39
Speaker 7: climate change. We said people are tired and frustrated. He
36:43
Speaker 7: said leopards should be captured and neutered. A decision has
36:47
Speaker 7: been taken that around fifty leopards will be shifted. That's
36:50
Speaker 7: a lot of leopards. In March, six were injured as
36:56
Speaker 7: they tried to capture a leopard. I don't think that
37:01
Speaker 7: I want that on my business card. What do you
37:04
Speaker 7: do I capture leopards. Now this past April and eighty
37:10
Speaker 7: five year old woman was killed. Twenty twenty four, eight
37:15
Speaker 7: people were killed in the Pune district. If you're keeping score,
37:18
Speaker 7: that's fourteen people died by leopard in the last year
37:23
Speaker 7: and a half. That seems to be excessive to me,
37:26
Speaker 7: But then you know I don't live in that area.
37:34
Speaker 7: Uh ah. If that wasn't bad enough. The girl by
37:40
Speaker 7: the way was near her house when she was attacked.
37:42
Speaker 7: In the middle of the afternoon. Last Saturday, two people
37:46
Speaker 7: were injured in a jackal attack. Yeah, this India isn't
37:53
Speaker 7: like here where angry villagers later killed the animal. Been
38:00
Speaker 7: a series of wolf attacks claiming six lives, including four children,
38:08
Speaker 7: and last Thursday, four more children now three children and
38:13
Speaker 7: an adult were injured in a village after being attacked
38:19
Speaker 7: by jackals. I don't know if this has anything to
38:24
Speaker 7: do with anything, but obviously very poor area, right and
38:31
Speaker 7: I don't know the rules and regulations. I doubt that
38:35
Speaker 7: people are allowed to have firearms without really really special certificates.
38:44
Speaker 7: I doubt if most of these people, frankly, could afford
38:49
Speaker 7: a firearm if they were allowed. But I bet mothers
38:56
Speaker 7: and fathers would find a way to procure a firearm.
39:03
Speaker 7: If kids are getting attacked and eaten by jackals and
39:07
Speaker 7: leopards and wolves. Oh my, you're what I'm saying. Fortunately,
39:18
Speaker 7: we don't have jackals and leopards and wolves around here.
39:22
Speaker 7: We do have other things, if I've mentioned many times,
39:26
Speaker 7: including mountain lions. They're fairly rare, but not as rare
39:32
Speaker 7: as you would think. There's always pictures of them on
39:34
Speaker 7: game trails. They travel to creeks, they travel long ways
39:40
Speaker 7: looking for deer, and we know there are a lot
39:42
Speaker 7: of deer in the city. I'm just saying, let's be
39:46
Speaker 7: careful out there, people and get them before they get you,
39:51
Speaker 7: get them before they get you. Our Cowboys Report is
39:58
Speaker 7: brought to you by Shulty Rooms and the Decker Financial Group.
40:02
Speaker 8: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
40:04
Speaker 8: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around and then
40:07
Speaker 8: I found Shorlty Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
40:09
Speaker 8: The folks at Shulty guided me every step of the way.
40:12
Speaker 8: They showed me my options, They told me what my
40:14
Speaker 8: out of pocket cost would be after insurance. They took
40:17
Speaker 8: the complication out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They
40:21
Speaker 8: took off the damage roof, put on the new roof,
40:23
Speaker 8: did all the clean up, and I had my new
40:25
Speaker 8: roof in one day.
40:29
Speaker 7: The Home by the Volley Roof roof.
40:34
Speaker 14: With your Dallas Cowboys report, I'm Jacob Ray that Allas
40:36

40:39
Speaker 14: of Bryce Young in the Carolina Panthers after a game
40:41
Speaker 14: winning field goal made the final score thirty to twenty seven. However,
40:44

Speaker 14: for an NFC East clash at at and T Stadium.
40:52
Speaker 14: There's been a lot of talk about dismissing defensive coordinator
40:54
Speaker 14: Matt Eberflus. Here is Stephen Jones talking about how much
40:57
Speaker 14: of a setback that would be for the team.
40:59
Speaker 15: Guys worried about getting to work, going to work this
41:04
Speaker 15: week and you know, getting better each week so that
41:08
Speaker 15: we can be more consistent execute. And we feel like,
41:13
Speaker 15: as coach Chatteimer said, well, we've got good personnel and
41:18
Speaker 15: I think we're going to evolve into a good defense.

43:26
Speaker 7: Thanks for hanging in with us. As we mentioned a
43:28
Speaker 7: couple of times, I'm going to replay an interview I
43:31
Speaker 7: did with Cajun Phil Brussard three years ago. I had
43:36
Speaker 7: been to Cajun Paradise Lodge since then, but a lot
43:41
Speaker 7: of times I talked to Captain Kevin or one of
43:44
Speaker 7: the other guides that we use down there. This particular
43:48
Speaker 7: time and several times before we've gotten a chance to
43:51
Speaker 7: talk to Phil. You can just probably hear in his
43:58
Speaker 7: voice who Phil is. So here's our interview with Cajun Phil.
44:06
Speaker 1: We're in Hackberry, Louisiana, Cajun Paradise Lodge with Cajun Phil
44:11
Speaker 1: here on the Clark Eisenhower Outdoor Edition. You guys know
44:17
Speaker 1: what you're doing around here. I've figured that out over
44:20
Speaker 1: the years, I think.
44:21
Speaker 18: Well thirty five years of doing the same thing day in,
44:23
Speaker 18: day and out with for of the best guys own
44:26
Speaker 18: Calculshoe Lake. I mean, we try real hard. That's the
44:29
Speaker 18: only thing we can do. Everybody's got guys, everybody's got fishing,
44:33
Speaker 18: everybody's got you know, meals about the only thing we
44:36
Speaker 18: try to do a little bit different, so off for
44:38
Speaker 18: a little more service, and that's what we try to do.
44:40
Speaker 6: Well.
44:41
Speaker 1: In fact, as we speak, you've got like thirty guys
44:43
Speaker 1: come in a company group coming in today. So you
44:46
Speaker 1: can accommodate large groups. You can commodate like the two
44:50
Speaker 1: of us and everything in between.
44:52
Speaker 6: Now you got your lodge rebuilt. I really like it.
44:54
Speaker 18: Yes, sir, we sleep nine here and tonight we actually
44:58
Speaker 18: got four different lodges but this one that sleeps nine,
45:01
Speaker 18: which is ours. We offer lodging meals and fishing, or
45:05
Speaker 18: just lodging and fishing, or just fishing only. So we
45:09
Speaker 18: give them an option. And these people are getting a great,
45:11
Speaker 18: big old cookout tonight. We got Bubba Gilly going to
45:14
Speaker 18: do a big old barbecue tonight. Tomorrow we're doing a
45:16
Speaker 18: big old, big old saucepy call. So I mean we're
45:20
Speaker 18: gonna fix them up, yes sir, And then they're gonna
45:21
Speaker 18: catch a bunch of fish. So we're gonna have eight
45:23
Speaker 18: boats fishing tomorrow and it's fun who come on funny feeling?
45:29
Speaker 6: How long's the lodge been reopened?
45:31
Speaker 18: Reopen now about four months? So we were here in
45:34
Speaker 18: March and it wasn't quite quite ready right now. Keep
45:37
Speaker 18: in mind we still don't have the what do you
45:40
Speaker 18: call the roof on our boat lifts and boat stalls,
45:42
Speaker 18: but they are here. We got the fish cleaning table,
45:45
Speaker 18: got the ice machine downstairs on the lodge. We got
45:49
Speaker 18: tables and chairs set up. Like I said, we've got
45:52
Speaker 18: a television set. We've got sound around sound, so I
45:55
Speaker 18: mean we're fixed up. Like we always say, hey, coman
45:57
Speaker 18: get you something. Let's get it done.
45:59
Speaker 1: I love what you've done downstairs here with this new area.
46:02
Speaker 1: This is really nice.
46:03
Speaker 18: Yeah, we spent a lot of extra time and a
46:06
Speaker 18: little bit of cash we had left. That's why we
46:08
Speaker 18: don't have a roof on the boat stalls yet, because
46:10
Speaker 18: we wanted this thing really nice for when people come
46:13
Speaker 18: they can sit back, relax and enjoy themselves. And we
46:17
Speaker 18: got a good gulf breeze just about every day coming
46:20
Speaker 18: off the Gulf, and it's just fine.
46:22
Speaker 13: You know.
46:22
Speaker 6: I know this happens, and in the fall it can happen.
46:26
Speaker 1: But when you're throwing top waters in the surf and
46:30
Speaker 1: catching big surf front trout, I don't think it gets
46:32
Speaker 1: much better than that.
46:33
Speaker 18: No, And right now, as y'all found out today, there's
46:36
Speaker 18: a lot of two pound trout out there, and if
46:38
Speaker 18: they jumping on that top water bait, I know y'all
46:40
Speaker 18: had a good time.
46:42
Speaker 1: We did, and we had to wrangle them away from
46:44
Speaker 1: the sharks. I don't think we've ever seen so many
46:46
Speaker 1: sharks we brought. We brought four fish to the boat
46:49
Speaker 1: with just the heads on them.
46:51
Speaker 18: Right the other day, Kevin and Is people actually aboded
46:56
Speaker 18: and released, of course, thirty sharks in one day. But
47:00
Speaker 18: I mean they limited out with trout, limit out with reds.
47:02
Speaker 18: So if what it is is the trout's going to
47:05
Speaker 18: move in, it's going to slow the bite down a
47:07
Speaker 18: little bit. But you catch one or two and then
47:10
Speaker 18: they leave and then you catch another ten or fifteen trouts.
47:13
Speaker 18: So it's just you just got to have patience.
47:16
Speaker 6: You know what.
47:16
Speaker 1: It was worth fighting for the sharks for Like you said,
47:20
Speaker 1: I mean we lost four fish, but we caught about
47:23
Speaker 1: thirty of them, and that was worth the trade off.
47:27
Speaker 18: I think definitely, that's for sure. Anytime you can come
47:30
Speaker 18: in with the bag y'all just came in with today,
47:33
Speaker 18: I'll tell you what, that's well worth fighting a few
47:35
Speaker 18: sharks for any day of the week.
47:37
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you I caught my two
47:39
Speaker 1: personal best bull rid fish today as well.
47:42
Speaker 6: That was fun.
47:42
Speaker 18: Did y'all see the big schools or did you just
47:45
Speaker 18: come in they just fixed up with the trout.
47:48
Speaker 6: Well, I think won about thirty pounds. That was enough
47:52
Speaker 6: for me. It is all I can handle.
47:53
Speaker 18: Well, it was crazy. Yesterday Captain Ben was going out
47:56
Speaker 18: and they saw a huge school of the big bull
47:58
Speaker 18: reds and the guy said, hey, I don't care if
48:00
Speaker 18: we catch a trout. We caught those yesterday because they
48:02
Speaker 18: were here for two days. They sat right there and
48:04
Speaker 18: hammered about fifteen of the biggest bulls, and they said,
48:07
Speaker 18: every one of them caught the biggest of their life.
48:09
Speaker 18: They just had a field day catching and releasing bulls.
48:12
Speaker 18: So the day before they caught trout yesterday they caught
48:14
Speaker 18: bull rid. So hey, we'll do it all.
48:16
Speaker 6: And it's that time of year when they're schooling, isn't it.
48:20
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, right now, it's simply stupid. I mean, it's
48:22
Speaker 18: not gonna get any better than it is right now.
48:25
Speaker 18: And it's gonna be like this till we get some
48:27
Speaker 18: kind of bad weather move in. Hopefully we don't, but
48:30
Speaker 18: it's gonna be good for you know, month, two months,
48:33
Speaker 18: it'll be good. Actually all the way through January. Last year,
48:35
Speaker 18: we would catch it a tremendous aunts of fish in
48:37
Speaker 18: November and December.
48:39
Speaker 1: Well, I follow you on social media. I know the
48:41
Speaker 1: last two weeks the weather has been stable. It's been
48:44
Speaker 1: about like this, the water's been green. You guys have
48:47
Speaker 1: been hammering fish.
48:48
Speaker 18: Yes, sir, we sure have, and like I said, we
48:50
Speaker 18: expected to stay that way. Anybody out there could go
48:52
Speaker 18: on the field Phil Bruce saw and Facebook and see
48:56
Speaker 18: the pictures. I post them every day, and keep in mind,
48:59
Speaker 18: this is almost end of our outdoors at fishing television season.
49:03
Speaker 18: We got two more weeks on Bali BA L L
49:06
Speaker 18: Y Bali Sports Outdoors Sunday morning, six am, and we
49:10
Speaker 18: got two fantastic ridfish films coming up. That's gonna scare
49:13
Speaker 18: anybody that watches it.
49:16
Speaker 1: You guys fish the red fish. You and Kevin fish
49:19
Speaker 1: the red fish circuit for quite a while, did you know.
49:21
Speaker 18: Yeah, we fished for fifteen years. We had twenty seven
49:24
Speaker 18: top tens, we had twelve top five, we won seven
49:28
Speaker 18: first place, we won Team of the Year twice, and
49:30
Speaker 18: we won the red Fish Cup championship. So we had
49:34
Speaker 18: a heck of a run for fifteen years. And finally
49:36
Speaker 18: his business got so busy we just couldn't could keep
49:39
Speaker 18: it up because if you don't do it right, you're
49:40
Speaker 18: not going to do good. And doing it right means
49:42
Speaker 18: spending ten fifteen days, you know, pre fishing.
49:45
Speaker 1: And I think I remember this correctly, either you were.
49:49
Speaker 1: Kevin told me that when you won the Redfish Cup
49:53
Speaker 1: that helped build your first lodge.
49:54
Speaker 6: Did it not? It did?
49:56
Speaker 18: Yes, sir, because that same year we won the Team
49:59
Speaker 18: of the Year and Fish Cup and they both paid
50:01
Speaker 18: one hundred grand, so that that helped us a whole lot.
50:04
Speaker 18: If we remember for that, we'd still be struggling right now.
50:07
Speaker 6: And then and then it got all blown away.
50:09
Speaker 18: He got blown away, so we had to start over.
50:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been two years, all right.
50:15
Speaker 18: It's been two years. Yeah, matter of fact, we've been
50:17
Speaker 18: in it only like I said, you know, just a
50:19
Speaker 18: very short period of time. We've been fighting since uh
50:22
Speaker 18: last September or whatever.
50:24
Speaker 1: You had not only one storm, you had two back
50:26
Speaker 1: to back with then what a week or ten days
50:28
Speaker 1: of one another.
50:29
Speaker 18: Right, we both both of our homes got destroyed and
50:31
Speaker 18: lived in a travel trailer for over a year. And uh,
50:35
Speaker 18: it's just been a hassle. But you know, the Good
50:37
Speaker 18: Lord always just says, you don't hang in there. I'm
50:39

Speaker 18: were all well and they coming back next month. But
52:23

Speaker 7: that the light kind of changes, the days get a
53:39
Speaker 7: little shorter. The fish know the winter's coming, and they
53:41
