Listen up: In this the first pocast in months Martin goes scouting for mullet and sea trout after a long summer which has been sunny and calm or cold and windy. It developed into a nice day at the beach with little fishing and no catching at all. Hear the sounds here.

Presenting Mighty minnows: The father of English fishing literature, Izaak Walton, devotes two chapters of The Compleat Angler to chubs (or �cheven� in the archaic plural), and in one scene his Piscator takes pleasure in catching the largest one of a school of twenty to the amazement of his companions, Venator and Auceps.

Tubed: Two seemingly unrelated events led tube fly tyer par excellence Bob Kenly to this method of tying and to discover a coloring system that I have never tried before: dyed Lady Amherst tail feathers and a note requesting something different to be thrown in the water for salmon in New Foundland. Here the result of the two events.

Presenting White lightning: The white perch is actually an anadromous silver bass in the fish family Moronidae. This game panfish is the little cousin of the striped bass and shares much of the same habitat: the brackish tidal estuaries and adjacent rivers of the mid-Atlantic and New England states.

Presenting Solid rocky: I have been an amateur musician for many years, comfortable on both keys and strings, and to use an analogy from that facet of my life I will state that, to me, the rock bass is akin to a punk rock song � It hits you hard, is pugnacious and tough up front, and though it doesn�t last too long, it is undeniably a strong, clever, and classic rocker. Rock Bass? Tell me more...

Presenting Rob-fin redbreast: Lepomis auritus, the redbreast sunfish, does not receive the front-page press of its cousins the bluegill, the crappie, and the black bass. This species deserves increased specific attention, though, especially from fly anglers who prefer to fish flowing water, because the redbreast is the stream sunfish. Read chapter 3 of Small Fry
