Cast and Blast Trips

Ducks working the decoys in the morning, then rods bending on rockfish and tog. The best of both worlds in one day.

Nothing about this coast is predictable. The birds move, the wind turns, and the spread that worked at sunrise is wrong by nine o'clock. That is the whole reason we run it the way we do: start in the marsh, watch what is happening on the open water, and go to it.

What Comes Over the Decoys
