Various Species

You’d be surprised at what you can catch without even leaving the shore. 

I’ve been land based fishing for the better part of 40 years, and keep going back to it because of it’s simplicity, ease, and the thrill of pulling in these unicorns that most people have no idea are even there for the taking.

Success on the water in land based locations is a matter of preparation, timing, and having the right gear and techniques.  If you’re able to master these things, it’s only a matter of time.

The kinds of fish I catch off the shore are the fish most people think they need a boat to be able to catch.
