This is because the moon phases and day length drive everything so hard, that if often overrides cold temperatures…

If you get too caught up on the stuff you “have” to have, you end up having to work more to afford to fish, and then ultimately miss out on the most important thing you MUST have to be successful: time on the water.

It’s another layer of spring prep that could pay off months down the road.

This is why, on most nights, I have a pouch packed with 15-20 soft plastic options (of various brands) so that I’m never in the situation Toby asked me about.

We’re experiencing a truly freaky warm-up right now, with highs in the upper-60s and low-70s, which is nearly 20- to 30-degrees above normal. It feels great, but what had me really excited this week was the prospect of some moderate south winds. These winds generally bring with them one of the first signs that spring is around the corner: red-wing blackbirds.

In this week’s episode we were talking about the definitions of “deeper water” within the context of our surfcasting spots. A tip I thought of after the episode probably won’t help you this spring, but you should file this away for the fall.
