In this week’s episode of The Surfcast Podcast, we are joined by surf fishing legend and icon, Dennis “DZ” Zambrotta. While Dennis is most famously known for the needlefish and fishing on Block Island in the 1980s, he is well-versed in a variety of tactics for targeting cow-sized striped bass in the surf, and this time around he divulges some of the secrets that he learned about fishing with the Cotton Cordell Red Fin. From how he first heard about it, to finding a magic “toxic plug” washed up on the shores of Block Island, he recounts stories from his years in the surf centered around the Red Fin and why it has been a staple in his surf bag for nearly 40 years!
