The Surfcast Podcast

Bottle plugs and bottle darters are often looked at as little more than big surf or strong wind plugs by surf fishermen targeting striped bass. In this episode, the guys talk about why they're staples in their surf bags and they make a case as to why you need to fish both styles more often in what would be considered non-traditional water.

On this special episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Jerry and Toby sit down with surf fishing legend, Pat Abate.

In this episode, Jerry and Toby talk about fishing the "wrong" tide, which could also be referred to as a tide that is not necessarily their preferred or go-to at a given spot. They dive into how they approach the spot, what they hope to learn from it, and why what you might think is best might not necessarily be so. This is just the tip of the iceberg on a concept that they both strongly believe...

In this episode the guys make a case for why a 2-piece farmer John style wetsuit - as opposed to a 1-piece surfing style suit - is the best choice for surf fishermen. They also make a case or three for why everyone who surf fishes should consider using a wetsuit. This is sure to ruffle some feathers, so give it a listen and let us know what you're using in the surf! Here are the wetsuits reference...

In this week's episode, the guys finally get around to dedicating an entire episode to the almighty darter. They've mentioned this fantastic surfcasting plug in nearly every episode of Season 1, but with the first episode of Season 2 they figured it was high time to go all in on the subject. And what better place to get started than by talking about how it became such a staple plug in both Jerry a...

On this episode of the podcast, we have big-fish expert Pete Utschig talking about one of his strengths: the run and gun style of fishing for big, trophy stripers. You might associate running-and-gunning with small fish and blitzes, or big balls of bait and birds, but that's not the only way to do it- and it doesn't have to be a chaotic, random affair. Pete breaks down how he utilizies his ability...

Are they a staple in your bag or do they only come out in certain scenarios? Why are fish deemed 'fussy' by the guys' definition? Is there a certain forage that makes fish fussier?
