Episode 85: Capt. Ray Rosher - Sailfish, Marlin, & Tuna

I am always intrigued by the big blue water world and pelagic
species that swim there and perhaps it’s because I am not an avid
offshore guy. Sure, I know about the standard tactics, rigging, and
the general vicinity on where to fish, but when you speak to
someone as in tune as Ray is - the typical fish talk quickly
escalates to something much more fascinating. On today’s podcast,
Ray conducts a master class on very interesting topics from bait
handling to hook up ratios and everything in between. If you live
in South Florida and enjoy offshore fishing, there is a good chance
you have heard of Capt. Ray Rosher. Ray is a third generation Miami
Fisherman that has spent more than 40 years as a full time fishing
charter captain. He and his crew have attained more than 30
tournament wins and continue to be a leading force in the sailfish
circuit. Rosher operates out of the famous “Miss Britt I” &
“Miss Britt II” which are 34 and 43 foot Sportfishers. He also owns
R & R Tackle which is a manufacturer of quality saltwater
fishing products including bait rigs, jigs, mahi lures, wahoo
lures, deep drop rigs, bait pens, and dehookers. With all of his
accomplishments on and off the water, he will be recognized by the
IGFA in October to receive the Tommy Gifford Award cementing him
into the Captains and Crew Hall of Fame. When he is not on the
water fishing, he loves spending quality time with his family.
Hunting, air boating, and frogging are among his other passions
because of the tranquilly and solitude. Ray is a straight shooter
who has no ego and tells it how it is. He is a wonderful teacher,
captain, leader, and a better family man. We hope you all enjoy his
story…
