End of Spring Season 2025

My spring season ended with some decent fish. I kept hooking up on the Super Strike Darter and worked on dialing in the sweet spot in the tide. This was a plug I rarely even took out my bag last season. I tried different types of hooks and variations. Ended up with keeping just a 4/0 treble on the belly swivel.

Focused a lot on inlet fishing instead of the beach—maybe a mistake, maybe not. Either way, it was a great spring, and I’m already looking forward to the fall. Shoutout to my friends I’ve made while fishing.

Fall Run Fishing 2025

Nor’Easter Pre-Storm Bite. My Personal Best.

The start of the fall run for me was on a couple sessions of decent size blues and tracking tides for this specific location. I locked into a tide that had a lot of bait around and hooked into this fish. I had a setup I was not familiar with for bass but was capable. Shoutout to the Jigging World Hybrid Nano Rod, NLBN paddletails and the Magic Tail Killshot jig heads that kept this fish pinned.

Mid Fall Run 2025

A couple weeks after the storm, we had multiple tides of nice fish at night. The Super Strike Needlefish once again put me on the bigger fish. The storm pushed a crazy amount of sand into this inlet, it looked like we were fishing from the beach.

My first solid shark of 2025! Really enjoyed summer fishing for sharks and got into a nice Sand Tiger. Looking forward to next year and being better prepared!

Spring Blues 2025

A few chompers rolled in on the darter bite. I’ve never caught blues at night or on a darter before, so im glad these guys came around. Testing out a new action camera in the last slide—hopefully some fall blitz videos to come!

Mid Spring Season 2025

Right Tide, Right Time. I built up my confidence with the Super Strike Darter this past spring. The darter put up a good number of fish for me and the guys I fish with. Here is a picture of the biggest one of the run. After I caught this fish, I ended up buying 5 more darters. The @odmrods Genesis performed amazing at controlling this fish. Thank you @thefishermanmag for the feature!

Early Spring Season 2025

Started off the season on day one, but it took about two weeks to figure out the pattern. I kept rotating tides, plugs, and colors, until something finally clicked. Once I dialed it in, I got into the first wave of fish.
