Beau and Chelsea from BayouBos Outdoors join us in the Brown Water studio to tell the story of how they packed up their life in Missouri, left behind a high-powered job, and moved their family to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to chase something bigger than a paycheck — time, freedom, and life on the water.
In this episode, we dive into:
🎣 Why they chose Bay St. Louis over Florida
🌊 How a random Facebook post during an ice storm exploded into a real business
🚚 The leap of faith that brought them south just three weeks ago
🛶 Their plan to make kayak and paddleboard rentals affordable and family-friendly
🏆 The BayouBos Fishing Bounty tournament happening April 11 at The Blind Tiger
Beau talks about growing up fishing the Lake of the Ozarks, chasing 100-pound catfish, and realizing saltwater offered a whole new addiction. Chelsea shares what it’s like moving states for the first time, downsizing, and betting on a dream so their kids can grow up outside instead of in front of a screen.
We also break down how their fishing tournament unexpectedly blew up after one Facebook post during the Gulf Coast ice storm — turning a small local idea into a major community event
This is what happens when you stop waiting for “someday” and just go.
If you’re into Gulf Coast life, small business grit, family moves, fishing tournaments, or just betting on yourself — this one’s for you.
Listen now and come see BayouBos in action.
