S Junker

We're blessed to have such great coastline to fish. From jetties, canal-side, backwater estuaries, or beaches, an angler can cast for a wide variety of fish. But some fishing is best - or only - done from the water. If you don't have a boat for that, booking a charter might be your next best option.

This week on The Fishing News, Kevin Blinkoff of On The Water magazineexplains the basics of charterboat fishing, and how you to pick an option that suits your wallet and your fishing dream.

Also, we round up the weekly fishing action (bluefin tuna continue to highlight the end of July). All in just four minutes! Audio is posted above, give it a listen.
