Kelsey sits down with him on A Fishing Guide.

Bryon tells the story of a bonefish that ran straight through a swimmer’s legs, and the day a shark turned on him and a client in ankle deep water. He explains how a fly rod he bought on Amazon as a joke turned into a career, and what happened on his first real bonefish. He also covers why permit punish slack line, why clients lose shots when they try to spot the fish instead of listening to their guide, why Cayman snook are called unicorns, and why he thinks social media has everyone chasing big fish.

Dom saw a permit he puts at over 50 pounds, went back months later with an 11 weight to find it, and never saw it again. It would have been an island record. They also talk about a 70 pound cubera snapper with a shark scar on its back that showed up ten feet from his boots, why a permit will refuse the perfect fly 60 times and then eat the ugliest one in your box, and why you let a bonefish run instead of trying to stop it.

Dom also explains how he walks a fish out into the current and holds it until it’s ready to swim off, what happens when 500 bonefish disappear overnight, and what it took to get one client a super grand slam.

In this episode of A Fishing Guide Podcast, host Kelsey Trojan sits down with guide Liam Transier (Catch A King Charters) to break down the real mechanics of professional guiding across two very different fisheries.

From poling shallow flats and throwing popping corks for marsh redfish in Galveston, to mooching cut plug herring and fighting sea lions in Craig, Alaska, Liam shares what it takes to find fish, read bites, and manage paying clients on the water.

Key topics covered in this episode:

  • Gulf Coast marsh tactics: working shallow canals, tide swings, and structure vs sight casting
  • Texas jetty fishing for redfish, speckled trout, and black drum
  • Sinking artificial reefs, pyramids, and cut off oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
  • The transition north: running boats across Escobile Bay and learning big ocean water
  • Mooching for King Salmon: reading the three thump bite on the drop vs reeling up
  • Deck psychology: client coaching, dealing with slow morning grinds, and keeping morale high
  • Fighting sea lions and offshore sharks for trophy fish

Whether you are a seasoned salt angler or a weekend boater looking to coach friends and family better on deck, this episode delivers unfiltered insight directly from the water.
