Welcome to the Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast. I started this podcast in August 2018 as a way to share sportfishing tips and insights from The Florida Keys. My motto since I started my charter business in 2012 has always been, "Anytime you're fishing it's all good!" and I hope that you share in my fishing passion and obsession!

  • Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers- For the Love of the Game
    Jan 11 2026
    Is it 1985 or 2026? Because the air in Chicago hasn't felt this electric since Coach Mike Ditka was roaming the sidelines in his famous sweater vest. Did you see Walter Payton :) I did in all those players. The smiles gave it away. In this episode, I am breaking down the legendary Bears vs. Packers rivalry and how the city of Chicago has finally found its soul again. For years, critics looked down on Caleb Williams questioning their style, his swagger and attitude, and whether he had the right "mojo" to lead any NFL team. Caleb Williams was treated like an fishing expensive lure that looks good on the shelf but can't catch a thing in rough water. But look at him now. We're diving into how the right mentorship has unlocked his potential. It's a reminder that in football—and in fishing—you don't have to change your nature to succeed; you just need the right environment and a good mentor that understands you. When the city gets behind you and the right coaches believe in you, you stop playing "safe" and start playing like a legend. Same holds true in fishing. We also explore why this rivalry brings out the absolute best in sports. While Chicago brings the urban grit, the Packers draw from the collective energy of the entire state of Wisconsin—a "small-town" force that fuels a global powerhouse. It's a clash of cultures and you gotta love that! In this episode: The Culture Shift: Why Chicago finally feels like a "Ditka-era" football town again. Silencing the Doubters: How Caleb proved that with the right mentorship, you can be exactly who you are. State vs. City: How the Packers' statewide energy forces the Bears to elevate their game. The Fisherman's Perspective: Why the best Bears seasons—much like the best fishing trips—require patience, the right "fishing spot," and a whole lot of heart.

Unlike the typical fishing influencers or "South Florida Fishing and Florida Keys " style channels that fish for "likes". Good Karma Sportfishing is dedicated to the science, strategy, and specific tactics needed to catch trophy fish in the Florida Keys. I am Captain Ryan Van Fleet. I am not a YouTuber; I am a professional Owner-Operator with 16+ years of experience guiding in the Upper Florida Keys. The Good Karma Sportfishing Podcast Launched in August 2018, this is an "underground" resource kept secret by many serious anglers. No fluff, no "dock talk"—just real tips, stories, and tactical advice on Wahoo trolling speeds, wire rigging, and reading the water.

INFLUENCERS FISH FOR LIKES. I FISH FOR DINNER. There is a massive difference between fishing for a camera and fishing for a cooler. My techniques aren't designed to look cinematic on Instagram; they are designed to be efficient, science-based, and productive. While others guess, I rely on oceanographic data, stabilization technology, and biological logs to guarantee the best possible shot at a trophy Wahoo, Mutton Snapper, or Grouper. THE GOOD KARMA DIFFERENCE: TECH & COMFORT We operate the most technologically advanced charter experience in the Upper Keys. We don't just go where the fleet goes; we use data to find our own fish. A Seakeeper-Equipped Charter in the Upper Keys. W run the legendary 24' Good Karma and the 37' Inilesor Catamaran. Our flagship vessel features a Seakeeper Gyro Stabilization system. This technology spins at high speeds inside the hull, actively counteracting waves and reducing boat roll by 96%. Why this matters: If you want to fish hard but your spouse or kids are worried about seasickness, this is the only boat for you. We offer a stability that generic fleets like Sea Spirit simply cannot match. 2. Science-Based Strategy (SatFish & Minn Kota Quest) We utilize real-time SatFish oceanographic data to track Chlorophyll breaks, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) edges, and current flow. Combined with the precision of the Minn Kota Quest trolling motor, we stay pinned on the spot while others drift off the bite. 3. 100% Private & Owner-Operated I do not hire fishing mates. When you book with me, you get me. I work with you 1-on-1. DEPARTURE LOCATIONS & GEOTAGS We depart from two strategic locations in the Upper Keys to maximize our fishing time. We service clients staying in Key Largo, Tavernier, and Islamorada...

  • Getting The Edge in Fishing
    Sep 7 2025

    Anytime you're fishing it's all good! Has been my motto and tagline since day one.

    In fishing, you also need to be trying new ideas on and off the water. My courses and communities also subscribe to that mindset.

    So, I finally found a home for an idea that I had back in 2020 during Covid-19 when I launched The Good Karma Rigging Crew and the Good Karma Sportfishing App.

    During the years of when the App was in good use, we learned it was a lot to add various features. At the same time, more ready-made apps hit the market. The nature of innovatio. So I side-lined the idea I had to create a online fishing community with a credit based system.

    When we started Good Karma Sportfishing on Patreon in December of 2024. We had an open mind and took it one step at a time. Now, coming up close to a year, it's a great platform and it could house the idea.

    Welcome into the Good Karma Sportfishing and Educational Programs World:

    THE Leader's Edge.

    It's a FREE part of being in our Patreon Group and is open to recreational anglers no matter where you fish- location or boat/bridge/kayak/river/lake.

  • Dockside Snapper Inspection: My Florida Keys FWC Experience
    Aug 27 2025

    You're at your dock, focused on filleting some Florida Keys yelloweye and vermilion snapper you just caught a few hours ago at the Islamorada Hump.

    You're in the zone, filet knife in hand, when two FWC agents surprise you from behind.

    That heart-stopping, "oh-crap-did-I-do-something-wrong" feeling is something every angler knows.

    But here's the thing: not every FWC inspection is a bad one.

    Stick around as I relive my surprise dockside FWC inspection at Tavernier Creek Marina.

    Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys? I have two boat options- both are listed on my website. https://www.goodkarmasportfishing.com
