The Surfcast Podcast Jerry Audet and Toby Lapinski

This episode's special guest is Dave Anderson, and he joins hosts Jerry and Toby to discuss the idea of the summer doldrums when it comes to surf fishing for striped bass. He gives us his take on the subject and how he combats the summer slowdown. From spot selection to the bait and lures he fishes in the deep of the summer months, this episode is sure to help you land more and bigger striped bass this year!
As a special bonus, Dave also talks about his 2024 surf fishing season so far and how a non-surf fishing purchase has completely changed how he approaches and fishes one of his prime spring spots.
Dave is one of the premiere surfcasters in the northeast, having landing many 30-, 40-, and even 50-plus-pound striped bass over the years. He is the man behind Surf Asylum custom plugs which are some of the most sought-after and productive wooden surf fishing plugs on the market today.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss an interesting phenomena that recently happened to Toby- and it's a reminder to check your hooks on every cast, no matter the conditions. This is something many anglers fail to do- and it seems early-season apathy got the best of Toby for a few casts, too!
This is our first "hot take" episode, where we discuss something that just happened while we were out fishing. We haven't come up with a name for it yet, but are open to suggestions.

Surf fishing is riddled with hurdles we must get over in order to catch trophy fish- or any fish at all, really. There are things we contend with that many other fishermen don’t have to think about- from weather and access, to casting distance and the dark, there are lots of factors to juggle. Since it’s already a challenging form of fishing, the last thing you want to do is be making mistakes that hurt your productivity even further.
While Jerry and Toby work tirelessly to eliminate anything that might interfere with their ability to catch fish, they are also quick to admit: they make mistakes ALL the time. Recently they both made a couple of classic mistakes that hurt their catch rates, on two totally different tides.
In this episode they’ll take you through these mistakes so hopefully you can avoid them on your next outing in the surf.
