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 may have taken it to another level, barely managing to stifle a laugh whenever my fishing partner says “stick it in that bush.”
