Every Tuesday at 6 PM, Daniel, Charly, and Luke go live on YouTube to talk fishing. Not fishing in theory — fishing the harbors and back bays they fished the weekend before. What worked, what didn’t, what they’d do different, and why.
Time On The Water started as an excuse to hang out. Three guys with full-time jobs, families, and a shared obsession with SoCal inshore bass — calico, sand, and spotted bay. The podcast grew out of those Tuesday nights, and the fishing got better because of it.
Guests come through the same community: local anglers, charter captains, bait builders, and the people who actually fish these waters. The conversation goes where it goes. That’s the point.
New episodes every Tuesday, 6 PM PST on the Time On The Water YouTube channel.
