## Resource

This week the guys dive into a surfcasting topic you rarely hear discussed: transient vs. resident baitfish on open sand beaches. While this concept is often applied to boulder fields, it's a frequently overlooked factor for sand beach anglers. They define transient and resident baitfish and how it can help you pack your surf bag smarter, approach the water more effectively, and time your sessions for better results. If you fish the sand, this is a perspective that can change the way you read the beach. Read our blog: https://surfcastpodcast.com/category/in-the-wash/ Please visit our sponsors!
