The Surfcast Podcast

In this episode, the guys talk about how they approach a given spot when surfcasting to maximize their chances for success through a tactic that they refer to as intentional casting. More than just casting to certain spots within a spot, each cast is made with intent and attention is paid to what does and does not produce so that it may be refined until success is found and then repeated as needed.
