S1:E30 | Beating the Summer Doldrums in the Surf with Dave Anderson

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. Dave is also the editor of the New England edition of The Fisherman Magazine, and he has written many articles over the years for a variety of publications including Surfcasters Journal, On The Water, Anglers Journal, and others.
