Surf Fishing Presentations?

[DZ]

I've been asked to give another presentation at the SWE show in February. In the past I've waxed poetic about the old days on Block, plug history, and last year gave a show about tips and techniques I use in the surf. In trying to keep things interesting I thought I'd ask those of you who frequent fishing shows what you would want to see. So here is your chance for some input: Short of step by step directions to "Flat Rock" what interests you guys? Do you want "memoirs" or "how to" presentations? Story telling? Give me some ideas.

People are never going to leave the seminar rooms this year. DZ, Zeno Hromin, DJ Muller, Joel Swan, and more...

DZ - I would love to see some info on trip planning, particularly, why you choose a certain spot in a certain night. Past experience and comparing conditions? Knowing the fsih are moving and will hit that area? I know that wont take up a whole presentation but thats the number one puzzle for me.

I can't get enough about "reading the water" and the impact of wind - diagrams, description overlays on real pictures, etc

Thanks for asking!

Bingo...thats where I struggle, the effects of wind on an area especially

How-To is what interests me the most, as

I am DEEP into the hungries phase of my two year surfcasting "campaign". Chris' suggestion of overlays about the relationship between tide, winds, and current are invaluable to those of us with less moons under our belts.

Then again, who among us can pass up a good fishing story?? LOVE the anecdotal stuff, since it often relates the humanity of our beloved sport while imparting gems of knowledge ~between the lines.

How excellent are you to ask, DZ!?!

And Much Thanks to The Edge for assembling such a quintessential line-up, nevermind the fact that all proceeds will benefit the Haberecks from the amazing raffle they put on each year .

i agree on the trip planning. I really need to work on why i go to a certain spot and at which time, tide, wind ect. Also on the techniques of keeping logs and records of when, where, what information is key in keeping a succesful fishing log.

I want a detailed map of all your fishing spots and the best times to fish them tides, moon phases, weather and everything you know about them. I also want to know what rocks you stand on and how far to cast and to which direction.



I like what everyone else mentioned, I would also like some eel fishing info. gear hooks and what nots

Tip #1....don't shave

Your story telling ability is some of the best I've heard so I think it would be great if you could at least work some of that into your presentation. I know anything you come up with I'll be sure to be there for it.
