In this week's episode, the guys talk about a subject very near and dear to their surfcasting hearts, and that is fishing rocky beaches and boulderfields. They discuss the biggest mistake that everyone makes when they fish the rocks, and what they should be doing instead to catch more and larger striped bass. Buckle up, this is a good one!

In this episode, the guys continue a subject they began last week wherein they discuss a surfcasting lure that does not exist but they wish did. Last week it was a rubber darter hybrid, this week it's a convertible metal-lip swimmer. Does it already exist and they just missed it? Is it something that is worth digging into? Give it a listen and let us know your thoughts.
