S3 E18 /// 2026 Surfcasting Goals
It’s that time of year again: Toby and Jerry open up and give you a glimpse of their plans for the 2026 fishing season.
It Won’t Be Late
This is because the moon phases and day length drive everything so hard, that if often overrides cold temperatures…
S3 E17 /// John Skinner Is Back: Secrecy, Overlapping Windows & Kayak Flips
Our annual tradition continues, as we welcome back the MAN himself, John Skinner to discuss a variety of topics including what he considers one of the most critical aspects to his success in the surf.
S3 E16 /// Solve The Noncommittal Striper Struggle
If you’ve ever said, “they’re here, but they won’t eat,” this episode’s for you!
Transient vs. Resident
On this week’s podcast episode (S3 E15), Sand Beach Bait: Transient vs. Resident Forage, we dive into an idea I reference often in my surfcasting discussions: the difference between transient and resident baitfish. In this episode, we specifically apply it to bait and a sand beach, but it’s a framework I regularly use when thinking about striped bass movements throughout the season.
S3 E15 /// Sand Beach Bait: Transient vs. Resident Forage
This week the guys dive into a surfcasting topic you rarely hear discussed: transient vs. resident baitfish on open sand beaches. If you fish the sand, this is a perspective that can change the way you read the beach.
Nice Reel, or Real Time on the Water?
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.
Herring Aids
As I’ve mentioned many times on the podcast, I’m not a big “match the hatch” guy. But when herring are around, I’ll soften that stance a bit—though I still can’t say it makes a huge difference in my overall success.
S3 E14 /// Put Your Money Into The Surf Rod or the Surf Reel? A Toby and Jerry Debate
When it comes to the rod and reel – two of the most important tools in surf fishing – where is your money best spent?
S3 E13 /// Is 2 Nights Per Week Enough?
This week the guys kick things off by officially announcing a new feature of The Surfcast Podcast—a weekly blog called In The Wash. From there, they dive into a question they hear all the time: How can I become a better, more consistent surfcaster if I can only fish two nights a week? While they only scratch the surface, the conversation lays a strong foundation for improving success in the surf—no matter how limited your time on the water may be.
