S1 E42 /// Fishing the Fall Run With Bill Wetzel

In this episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Jerry and Toby sit down with surf fishing guide, Bill Wetzel, to talk the fall run in the northeast. They discuss the signals that Bill looks for to know the bite is turning on, how he approaches the surf differently (or the same) in the fall, some specific fall patterns he loves, and many other fall-specific topics. There is a ton of great info in this episode to help you catch more and larger striped bass form the surf this fall season and beyond.

Plus, Bill drops plenty of “Bill-isms” in this episode, and stays true to the unique personality that has solidified him as one of the most well known and well respected surfcasters in modern times

Be sure to check out Bill’s website, Surf Rats Ball, and sign up for the private forum, a place where some of the most knowledgeable and accomplished surfcasters from the Striper Coast congregate. Membership to the forum also gets you entry into the annual Surf Rats Ball June Catch & Release Striped Bass Tournament. This is the original, longest running, and largest catch and release striped bass surf fishing tournament in the known universe!

And you can also reach out to Bill for 1 on 1 guiding through his website and the forum. He’s the hardest working guide in the business, and worth every cent- a must for any angler, of any skill level, for the experience of seeing Bill in his element… and the chance at catching some awesome fish in “Mecca.”
