On todays episode Joey and Michael talk the Missing 411 phenomena after Michael's recent binging of the Movies on Amazon and Youtube (Links Below). From the Missing 411 Site: "A National Park Ranger told writer David Paulides a troubling story. Over his years of involvement with numerous search and rescue operations at several different National Parks, he had detected a trend that he couldn’t understand. The Ranger explained that during the first 7 - 10 days of a disappearance he would witness massive Search and Rescue activity and significant press coverage. Following this initial week -long effort there was almost always an immediate halt to the coverage, a discontinued search for the victims and no explanation from the search authorities."  http://www.missing-411.com/about/ As always, we hope you enjoy.  Please leave us a rating and review and if you enjoyed todays podcast, please let us know in the comment section.

Today's episode is a Friday short. You've heard Michael talk about his disdain for party boats and somehow he got talked into going out on one this week to fish for fluke with rented gear. How did it end up?  Well, a bit philosophical, a bit frustrating, but for people who don't have boats or can't pay for a charter, it might be the only way to target these beauties.  Please leave us a rating and review and if you enjoyed todays podcast, please let us know in the comment section.
