S14:E2 - “Captains For Clean Water” (2019)

Daniel Andrews of Captains for Clean Water discusses the state of the Everglades.

Captains Tom and Rich bring aboard Captain Daniel Andrews, founder of Captains for Clean Water. Captain Daniel discusses the red tide crisis, as well as the water quality and plumbing issues found in the Everglades. Captains for Clean Water started in 2016, and has continued to raise awareness, especially to fishermen, of the water quality in Florida. While fishing in Sandy Key, Daniel notices they are fishing only 10-15 miles away from hyper salinity areas, which can be deadly for the sea life. While fishing, Daniel urges for people to take action in protecting wildlife, and to become aware of the events taking place in the state of Florida.

As always, we had Jason Stemple with us to document this trip in ultra high quality still photos.  Here are some of my favorites.  Enjoy!


See you on the water,

Capt. Rich Tudor & Capt. Tom Rowland

The Florida Everglades make up one of the most well-known and treasured American National Parks. They are also being “strangled” by water issues. Since the damming of the Kissimmee River, the Everglades’ primary source of freshwater, this beautiful fishery has seen “endangered wildlife populations, declining water quality, water mismanagement, [and] extensive urban and agricultural development,” according to Captains For Clean Water, a conservation organization dedicated to restoring the health and natural beauty of the Everglades.

It’s about 6:30 am, just as the sun is beginning to peek over the horizon and Capt. Labadie is charging ahead to the crew’s first destination. Since tarpon are the easiest of the three to catch in low light conditions, this is where Labadie opts to start. Rowland and Tudor remark that they were somewhat surprised at first by the guide’s choice to fish right in front of the coastline resorts and houses. On a day that they were purely targeting tarpon, the Saltwater Experience hosts would tend to go somewhere a little more remote. Labadie chose this spot because he knew the fish would be there, but, more importantly, it was on the way to their other targets, eliminating the need to backtrack later and burn up precious time.
