A description of this episode will not do it justice, however: the guys decide to rip off an idea they saw from the guys at On The Water (<<
In this episode, the guys tackle a very simple, but very important topic: what they think the proper drag setting is for surfcasting for stripers.

Another Jimmy Fee episode spin-off, this time the guys are discussing why in the hell they get so soft as the regular season slides into the "shoulder season."

A self-proclaimed "Glide Bait Evangelist," Jimmy Fee of On The Water Media joins the guys this week to spread the gospel of the glide bait—in glide we trust.
Can the guys be swayed to the dark side? Are glide baits just a passing fad, or are they here to stay as a staple in the well-equipped surf bag?
The crew attempts to define the glide bait before diving into how to fish them, where they fit into a night's rotation, and wh...
On this week's episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Jerry and Toby break down one of the most overlooked aspects of surf plug action: roll. How much should a surf plug roll, and is more roll always better? The guys discuss how plug roll affects swimming action, why some plugs are designed to roll more than others, and whether roll is a desirable trait for every surf plug or only specific types of lures.
If you're into striped bass surf...
In this week's episode, the guys revisit the popular 4-Plug topic, this time tackling breachways and outflows.
The rules are simple: each angler can choose only four plugs, and specific lures must be identified where applicable by brand, size, and weight. Conditions and time of day cannot factor into the selections, color is not required, there is an infinite supply of lures (magically replaced if lost), and bait doesn't count.
So,...
You make your own luck every time you enter the surf. However, in the end, we simply cannot calculate every factor that goes into catching fish- otherwise, we'd catch only 40- to 80-pound bass every time we went fishing. And that would kinda suck- do you really want to know everything that's going to happen, every time, in ever spot before you go? Luck and chance are part of what makes this fun.
So in this episode we answer a liste...
This week, the guys sit down with Calvin Toran-Sandlin to discuss one of the most extreme subcultures of surfcasting. While many anglers don a wetsuit in pursuit of striped bass, very few take it to the next level by strapping on fins and swimming—sometimes several hundred yards—out into the surf at night to fish isolated reefs and rockpiles. But that's exactly what Calvin does!
In addition to discussing the gear, condi...
You want to know what we REALLY think is the best surfcasting structure for quantity, quality, and most enjoyment? Then this episode is going to clear all that up.

On this week's episode, the guys tackle one of surf fishing's most debated topics: the fishing partner. Does having a partner improve your success, or can it actually hold you back? How do you choose the right person, and what expectations should both anglers have before hitting the beach? And perhaps the biggest question of all—is finding the right fishing partner even harder than dating?
Have you had a nightmare fishing par...
You asked, and we delivered. After plenty of listener requests, this week the guys devote an entire episode to one of surfcasting's most talked-about topics: spots.
Don't worry—we're not giving away anyone's honey holes. Instead, we dive into two specific aspects of spot selection. First, how do you know when it's time to move on from a dead spot? Second, we explore the idea of the "White Whale" spot—that location that ...
Returning to The Surfcast Podcast is Jimmy Fee of On The Water. In this episode, the guys cover everything from centerpinning for striped bass and the surprising qualifications for becoming a surfcasting hand model to the main event: targeting oversized striped bass from the surf. Along the way, they dive into what it really takes to become a true big-fish hunter in today's striped bass fishery, discussing the mindset, preparation,...
In this episode, Jerry asks Toby some random bunker chunking questions, fresh off a night of his own meat-slinging in the surf. If you've ever wanted to try it, this one has the most information to date about the important elements of chunking- and the first episode about it in more than a year.

Rocky ledges are some of the most productive—and intimidating—pieces of structure in the surf. In this episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Tyler Harper joins Jerry and Toby to explain what makes ledges so attractive to striped bass, when they fish best, and how to approach them effectively. Tyler shares hard-earned lessons on reading water, dissecting structure, avoiding common mistakes, and building confidence in rugged s...
Many anglers fish a lure exactly the way it was designed to be fished or blindly follow instructions and protocol as set forth by legions of internet heroes. This episode is about taking ownership of your presentation through rigging, and understanding how a few simple changes to hooks, weights, and hardware can make any lure do exactly what you need it to do, where you need it to do it.

You might think casting right at where the fish are is "the move," but the guys would argue you're wrong. Think it's bizarre that they'd suggest you shouldn't cast right to where you "know" the fish are? Then you DEFINITELY need to pay attention to this episode...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
