Episode 22 – Shoreline Fishing Safety | Level Up Fishing Podcast

In Episode 22 of the Level Up Fishing Podcast, we discuss an often overlooked but super important topic—shoreline fishing safety. This episode pairs with our newest blog post of the same name and walks through the key tips every angler should know before heading out. We cover essential safety items to pack, the importance of always telling someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back, staying aware of cold water conditions, knowing your personal limits, and more. Along the way, we share some real-life stories from our own fishing adventures—some funny, some eye-opening—to bring these points home.

In the second half of the episode, we dig into the results of a recent survey we ran while prepping this topic. The feedback, especially from women in fishing groups, was powerful. Many shared how unsafe they feel while fishing alone—a reality that really deserves more attention. We chat about the differences between male and female experiences on the water, how anglers can approach each other respectfully, and examples of what good communication looks like (and what it definitely doesn’t).

Whether you fish solo or with a group, this is an episode packed with insight, reflection, and tips that can help keep everyone safe and confident while doing what we all love—fishing.
