Brown Water Banter

We sit down with the crew from Driftset Fishing to dig into the world of deep drop fishing off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We're not talking about your average inshore trip — these guys are running miles offshore and dropping lines hundreds of feet down to pull up some of the biggest, prettiest fish most people will never see in person.
From snowy grouper and tilefish to the kind of monsters that make a trip worth talking about for years, we cover what it takes to put clients on these fish: the technique, the equipment, the long runs, and the patience it takes to do this right. We also get into the current state of the Gulf fishery, the new artificial reef projects changing the game for Mississippi anglers, and what separates a good day on the water from a story you'll tell forever.
If you've ever wondered what's swimming below the depths most boats never reach, this one is for you.
Also big thanks to Southern Magnolia Smiles, Forever Young Men's and Women Health, and Taylor and Cox Law Firm for the support!

What is Brown Water Banter?

Fishing, hunting, and life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Brown Water Banter is a long-form conversation with the charter captains, biologists, business owners, and local characters who actually work these waters — from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula, and everywhere between. Snapper season and DMR regs one week, the guy who built a music venue inside a church the next. No script, no polish, just people worth listening to. Hosted by Jared Seymour and Joey Cates. 360+ episodes since 2018.
