Fishing out of the Venice area in Louisiana, Martha has established herself as one of the top charter boat captains and fishing guides in the area. With an extensive background in offshore big game fishing and inshore species, she has pretty much done it all. But it wasn't always the plan to be a guide. Join us on this episode to hear Martha's story about growing up and starting in her first career as a meteorologist and how that evolved into what she is doing today!

Matt Rice - American Rivers
2w ago00:43:08Tap to summarizeWater is something we all need and rely on to be there when we need it. We take it for granted. And it is probably one of the most regulated and political things in the conservation scene today. On this episode, I'm happy to have American River's Matt Rice join us at the 2026 Hunt Fish Podcast Summit here at the Pintail Hunting Club in Texas. Matt has spent the majority of his life on and around river systems from fishing, guiding and now helping to advocate for rivers and all of its beneficiaries.
