Fishing Fix 7 - Fishing the Atlantic Coast

From the rocky jetties of Maine to the warm beaches of the Carolinas, the Atlantic shoreline offers some of the most exciting and diverse saltwater fishing in the world. Fishing the Atlantic Coast is your complete guide to understanding tides, reading structure, choosing productive techniques, and consistently catching fish from surf, pier, jetty, or small boat.

This book breaks down the species every coastal angler wants to catch—striped bass, bluefish, fluke, tautog, black sea bass, weakfish, scup, mackerel, and more. You’ll learn how to time your outings around the tides, how to spot productive water, and how to avoid the slow, “dead tide” periods that waste so many trips.

Clear explanations walk you through surfcasting strategy, drifting techniques, and how to fish jetties, channels, and structure without constantly losing tackle. You’ll also discover how to predict feeding windows, adjust to clear or dirty water, and make smart decisions when conditions change fast.

Every chapter is built around real-world coastal experience from The Real Rod, your Fishing Fix guide. His field-tested advice helps you find fish in crowded areas, time your approach for bigger bites, and troubleshoot common problems like missed strikes, snags, and tough conditions.

Packed with practical tide logic, rig setups, location guidance, and on-the-water know-how, Fishing the Atlantic Coast gives you the edge you need to fish smarter, not harder.

If the Atlantic coastline is your playground, this book is your playbook.
