Mike Dames is a South African angler, a very experienced fly fishing guide and conservationist. Mike currently guides for African Waters at their Sette Cama camp in Gabon as well as Mavungana (one of Africas oldest outfitters). In this episode Mike and I chat about his fishing journey that began from the age of 2, his love of fish in general (not just fishing), what guide-life is like and the whole west African experience. Mike has a much deeper understanding of fishing than most, and is a wealth of knowledge on all of its associated topics. I can't thank the African waters guides enough for all of their help, advice and time while over there. An awesome bunch of blokes and an even more awesome experience. Enjoy!

Episode 55 - Jako Lucas
Jako is a world renowned fly fisherman, guide, content creator, producer and damn good human. Jako and I had known each other for years through fishing and social media. I saw Jako advertising a hosted trip to Gabon - a remote West African country towards the end of last year so I dropped him a line and we built a pitch to create a crazy fly fishing film project over there. In this episode we chat all things fly fishing, heritage, how Jako built his career, life and its state of affairs, travel, adventure, elephant attacks, catching crocodiles in the jungle at night and much, much more. This episode was shot towards the end of our time together in Gabon. 40hrs of travel, new friends and new experiences. What a life. Enjoy!

What’s up everybody. I’m Wade and I host this podcast. I started this because I genuinely love talking to interesting and inspirational people. This began with me chatting to people that I knew in the outdoors industry and has slowly grown into other niches in business, combat sports and personal growth. I’m an entrepreneur, coffee snob, business owner, videographer, combat sports practitioner, fisherman, freediver, bowhunter and all-round outdoorsman. I do this because I love it and I share it in the hopes that I can pass on some knowledge and help others grow. Any feedback is always welcome and I hope you all enjoy!
