Into the Blue was the CHAMPION of the Waypoint series showdown, meaning that we will be having a 24 hour marathon of the show on Friday, July 10th! You can view the marathon on Samsung TV Plus and Stirr TV ALL DAY Friday!
Once the fish is done you can just pull the meat off the bones and start building your tacos. Add some lime juice and bring the pulled meat back to the grill while you wait on the corn to finish. Once this is all done, you can add your street corn sauce, and build your tacos with your preferred toppings.

This episode picks up where the last one left off, following the duo as they zero in on their target species: permit. It’s a challenging, yet rewarding day for both captains as they utilize the technology at their disposal to work around some of the less-than-favorable conditions and bring in a good permit catch.

We're down to Key West we're going to go fishing this week. And Steve is going to put me on some of his favorite wrecks. And when we're on the wrecks (back in the day) we would mark them with a big meatball on top of it and we wouldn't know what we're looking at. We would figure it was bait and we'd be happy knowing that something was there.
Live crab is an excellent bait for permit-fishing, according to Walker and Rodger, but it’s usefulness extends beyond just this fish, as Walker discovers over their first wreck… Read more HERE.
This is a super easy party dish and works phenomenally with my Big Green Egg grill, your 4th of July party guests will love these so be sure to make a lot of them! The Lemon Pepper Smoked Wings can be made by taking 24 fresh wings and cut them into 2 pieces. To season, cover the wings in lemon pepper and smoke the wings at 250 degrees for 2 hours. Then coat the wings in BBQ sauce and turn up heat to 375 until the BBQ sauce caramelizes.
The Mercury Active Trim is a GPS, speed based, automatic engine trim system. This responds to the weather around you responding to the weather conditions around you and fuel economy. Now the engine will set the trim for you so you no longer have to. I know many guys who don’t even use their trim because they don’t want to deal with it. The trim is super important for leveling the boat off and saving on fuel - that is why this invention is so awesome.
The newest edition to the Scales gear family is the Fisherman Board Shorts, made my fisherman for fisherman. One of my favorite features is the padded waste band - when we are fishing all day long with spinning tackle, fighting the fish is just the beginning. Then you have to fight the pain of when it hits you in the hip. Scales built protection right in for that exact situation. There is also a built in plier pocket with polyester so the pliers don’t get jammed up - aside from that they are extremely comfortable. Check them out!
We had the chance to sit down with Tom Rowland of Saltwater Experience and be on his podcast. We got to talk about our stories and how we started the Into The Blue show. If you are interested in listening you can listen to the podcast at the top of this page.
Into The Shop - Power Pro brought to you by West Marine.
The line on this Power Pro Depth Hunter is color coded, every 25 feet there is a different color. When we are out there jigging in the deep water. I can mark the fish on the bottom machine and if it’s 75 feet, I know 3 color changes and I’m on the fish. This helps you make sure your bait is where it needs to be.
See you on the water,
Steve Rodger
Into The Shop - Shimano brought to you by West Marine.
When we are heading offshore, whether in the Gulf or the Atlantic, I enjoy topwater fishing because of the visual of the bite. We do a lot of casting of plugs which allows for more personal situation with the fish. It’s a little bit harder to get a bite on an artificial versus live bait. The new Shimano ColtSniper Stick Bait and Jerk Baits have weight propulsion systems for casting.
As you load the rod up, the weight shifts to the rear of the lure allowing you to sling it a much further distance to busting fish. You will be able to make way longer casts, you can stay further back to not spook the fish, not scare the fish and you will have a lot more strikes on the artificial lures.
See you on the water,
Steve Rodger
With parties during the holidays, the best appetizer you can do is a smoked fish dip. We love this Smoked Kingfish dip. We will cut it up into large chunks about the size of your hand so that they cook evenly and you smoke them skin down. Personally I like to marinate mine with lots of spice, pepper and teriyaki and brown sugar.
Deep sea saltwater fishing is what we are all about. We love the adrenaline surge that comes from fighting these deep sea fish. This is not for beginners, but we are here to help educate you to become the best deep sea saltwater angler you can be. We have blogs to help you catch fish and recipes to help you cook your catch. Ask us any questions about fishing and we would love to answer and help you catch some fish!
