The Surfcast Podcast

Not generally considered a go-to lure for surfcasters when fishing a big surf, the metal lip does have its time and place but it's more than just going with heavy metal. In this week's episode, Jerry and Toby talk about what characteristics they look for when selecting a metal-lip swimmer for fishing a big surf as well as how they developed a gameplan that has produced many 30- and 40-pound class striped bass for both of them over the years.

In this episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Jerry and Toby talk with Matt Broderick, the managing editor of the Long Island edition of The Fisherman Magazine and an extremely well-rounded surf, boat, and freshwater angler. While they touch upon a few subjects, they primarily discuss fishing outflows and jetties for striped bass. From seasons to bait, and techniques to tides, they break down how you can catch more fish from these fishy- but sometimes forgotten- hot spots.

Leader material is a classic example of a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" scenario. Some anglers really care about it, geek out, and spend ridiculous amounts of time and money on finding the perfect leader for their surf application. Words like light refraction, spooling memory, and pounds per millimeter are all run of the mill.

Others don't give it more than a passing thought. Whatever they see at the shop, whatever their buddy uses...whatever they have lying on the floor in the basement...that's what they use. Abrasion, visibility, diameter- aren't those things that described wood working, not fishing gear?

Toby and Jerry don't do anything "just because," and while the leader material they use is pretty "old school," their reasoning and thought process of why they choose it is as serious and meticulous as for any other piece of their "kit." In this weeks episode, they tackle the topic of what makes a good leader material by discussing whether or not it's "worth it" to buy purpose-made leader material- and try really hard not to throw too much shade at using fluorocarbon for striped bass.

Have surf rod, will travel? In this episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Jerry and Toby talk about traveling and surfcasting. They share some helpful gear tips, and some tried and true approaches, that will help you be more productive in lands both far and near. Since many of us striped bass anglers choose not to pursue the fish in the winter, or don't have the opportunity, it's often very tempting to spend a little vacation time and money using our hard fought and learned skills on other species in exciting new places. But where do you start? Toby shares some of his experiences, and Jerry gives you lots of tips that he's learned through his experiences chasing a variety of species from drum and tarpon to grouper and surf perch.

Not all striped bass migrate to southern waters every winter, and instead, for some reason, they decide to spend their winters in the many rivers that dot the New England coastline. From the largest of waterways, to the smallest of tidal creeks, there's a good chance that at least a small population of stripers inhabit just about every tidal river of New England year-round. In this episode of the surfcast podcast, Jerry and Toby talk about the smaller rivers and how finding your own little gem can not only be extremely rewarding, but should be treated with respect for it can be far more fragile than the larger host river systems.

Why all the hate? All surf fishermen have their favorite lures, the ones that seem to produce when nothing else will, but what about those that fall on the opposite end of the spectrum. Jerry and Toby come in hot for this episode as they talk about which lures and mods they despise the most and why. Do you agree with their argument or are they just salty surfcasters?
