  • I look forward to every episode

    I love the topics, knowledge, and enthusiasm you have. I love Surfcasting, but don’t get many opportunities to make it out each season. This podcast helps me feel connected to the passion and helps me learn. Thank you very much for providing this. A possible topic for a future episode that could be interesting would be, “what percentage of stripers do you catch on each type of lure during the season?”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 E23 | Fishing Back Bays with Al Albano
Q: Which lures do you consider essential for back bays?
Hydro Minnows are a recent staple, with Mag Daughters, SP Minnows, and sluggo variants forming a core set. I adjust sizes depending on whether I'm chasing bigger fish or smaller ones, and I'll mix in traditional favorites when needed.
S3 E23 | Fishing Back Bays with Al Albano
Q: What's your go-to gear setup for back bays?
I use two 10-foot rods for back bays with 40-pound line, backed by sturdy reels; I also carry an 8-foot setup for the weak-fish window. The goal is to have leverage for big fish and reach for spots with current, while maintaining the flexibility to switch targets.
S3 E23 | Fishing Back Bays with Al Albano
Q: What makes back bays worth fishing compared to inlets or open ocean for you?
Back bays offer a calmer environment with ample opportunity for holdover and mid-sized fish, and they can be productive all season with careful location choice and time spent learning each bay's unique current patterns.
S3 E11 | Secrets of the Eel Bob with Steve McKenna
Q: Why should a Surfcaster add the Eel Bob to their Stripe Bass toolkit?
Because an eel-based system is highly effective at night, leveraging live eels or eel-inspired presentations to outshine standard bucktails and plugs, especially when targeting striped bass after dark; it's versatile across depths and current, and complements other lures by offering a different action and trailing tail that excites bites.
S3 E8 | Bridge Fishing for Giant Stripers with Rich Troxler
Q: What are some overrated fishing plugs?
Rich discusses how some plugs are overhyped, particularly among newer surf fishers, but emphasizes every plug has its time and place.
