Half Past First Cast, this joint project with my lovely wife Hanna, is not my first entry in the world of fishing blogs. I started blogging at Yamamoto’s Inside Line in late 2008. If you’re creative, or want to boost your fishing industry career, consider starting one of your own.

I never imagined that Pete and I would develop a fishing and travel website together. The idea of working with your spouse is scary enough, but writing is his world, not mine. I avoid it like the plague. I didn’t know if we’d run out of things to write about. Would anyone be interested in what we had to say?  And it didn’t seem helpful that we started it two weeks before an unforeseen pandemic hit.
