Episode 130: John Abplanalp - Life of the Party
Manage episode 461238710 series 2625835
John Abplanalp has lived an extraordinary life centered around fishing, including being one of the pioneers on the flats of Montauk, where he was among the first to sight-cast for striped bass from his skiff. His family was fortunate to pursue big dreams, thanks to his father, who designed and invented the aerosol valve used in spray cans. Fast forward a few years, and after his father purchased the small island of Walker's Cay in the Bahamas, John found himself chasing his newfound passion for bonefish. Walker's Cay became the jumping off point for Flip Pallot’s iconic show, Walker's Cay Chronicles, which captivated audiences and drew them in heart and soul.
John and a group of like-minded friends often used the island's freighter, the Sea Lion V, as their base for fishing, sleeping, and partying—all without a care in the world. Years later, many of these individuals, including legends like Kreh, Pallot, Cardenas, Popovics, and Dixon, have become household names, representing some of the luckiest and most influential figures in the fishing world.
In today’s podcast, John takes us on a nostalgic journey back to those unforgettable days, sharing his passion for both the sport and his ongoing efforts to support Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT) in their mission to preserve these incredible species for future generations.
