This winter, try building your own custom fishing lures.

Gary Soldati’s "functional art" has been winning over striped bass and striped bass fishermen for nearly 20 years.

I first met Mike Mullen a few years back at a Connecticut Surfcasters Association Meeting while giving a talk about fishing needlefish, and, what I considered then to be “big” needlefish.

When February finally ends, we’re right on the cusp of the striper season.

When I sent Charlie Muller of Choopy Lures a few questions about his plugs hoping to gain a little bit of insight about him and his plug making, he sent me these answers back.

In the September Issue of OTW, with the help of a few surfcasting luminaries, I wrote an article on how to catch more fish with needlefish.

It’s not quite white, but it’s close, and it’s deadly on stripers.

Along the New Jersey coast from Sandy Hook to Island Beach, from May to July, you better have a big, long-casting pencil popper ready to clip on to your leader.
