Our annual tradition continues, as we welcome back the MAN himself, John Skinner on "opening day" of the New York state striper season (which is no longer a thing, but if you don't know what we're talking about, you can Google it). We discuss a variety of topics, but focus on what he calls "variable windows" which are critical to his success in the surf.

PLEASE support John!

In this episode, we break down the frustrating reality of "noncommittal" stripers in the surf and how we work to change their mood.

This week the guys dive into a surfcasting topic you rarely hear discussed: transient vs. resident baitfish on open sand beaches. While this concept is often applied to boulder fields, it's a frequently overlooked factor for sand beach anglers.

They define transient and resident baitfish and how it can help you pack your surf bag smarter, approach the water more effectively, and time your sessions for better results. If you fish the sand, this is a perspective that can change the way you read the beach.

This week the guys kick things off by officially announcing a new feature of The Surfcast Podcast—a weekly blog called In The Wash. You can check out existing posts (link below) and sign up to be notified whenever new entries go live.

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.

On this special bonus episode of The Surfcast Podcast, the guys sit down with returning guest Steve McKenna to talk about the lost art of fishing the eel bob. Steve recently penned a how-to article on building an eel bob for The Surfcaster's Journal, and it quickly became one of the magazine's most popular pieces in quite some time.

In this conversation, Steve breaks down how he got started, how to fish it properly, and the situations where the eel bob excels and can even outproduce modern offerings.

For surfcasters interested in classic tactics, big striped bass, and reviving a technique that still has plenty of fish-catching power, this episode is packed with insight.
