The weather was quintessential autumn—foliage, a crisp breeze, and bright warming sun.

I was officially psyched; finally, it was time to start relentlessly heaving plugs and covering as much ground as possible, working together as a fishing squad.

Almost as soon as the group split to start casting, my friend Billy hooked up on his yellow pencil popper. It was a nice fish that murdered his plug, but after a nice run, she was gone.

I knew this would be a good trip right then and there. We’d been fishing for 5 minutes and already had on a 20lb+ fish. There were more to come.

​Surfcasting is my passion, and it's a pleasure to be able to share this video and my written reports below with the MFCC community.

Let me know what you think!​

    • I really appreciate it, Chuck! It’s 100% my pleasure. This was one of my first experiences making videos with the GoPro and man, is it fun. Definitely a worthy investment.

    • Thanks, Lima – I really appreciate it. I can guarantee you I’ll be there quite frequently this season. Nothing better than throwing topwaters over a boulder field if you ask me.

      Tight lines to you too, and I hope to see you there!

  • Danny thanks for sharing you video..I just bought a fishing kayak to target the stripers..surf casting looks like great fun also.

    • Hey, Jeff – Glad you enjoyed it! I have never tried kayak fishing, but just recently bought a kayak as well, so I’m excited to give it a whirl this season. Good luck!
