More on Legendary Surfcaster Jack Frech

of you have told us that you loved Jack Frech article in this issue of the Surfcaster’s Journal Magazine. The person interviewed for the story was well known angler and tireless advocate for beach access, Willy Young. I couldn’t help myself when he sat next to me at Paulie’s Bait and Tackle this weekend. This video is a result of a bull session, nothing more, nothing less. I thought you guys would enjoy it, hear it from the man itself.

    Zeno, loved that interview. Would love to see more about the pioneers of the sport. With all the great people that fished the NE surf I’m sure there would be no shortage of interviews out there. Thanks Bill

    Wonderful interview. Thanks! As one of those who asked for something on Frech, I thank you. My father in law knew jack years ago and use to tell me stories about his plug building. In part to inspire me back in the days when I would try to make my own ( I have since given it up but will still make one or two every winter for fun).
    Again thanks for the interview. I also Second the idea as to you trying to get more interviews of some of the greats and near greats in surf fishing.

    Willy mentions that Frech made the banana plug in oak… the LIF articles said he used clear pine for the Banana… big difference between these 2 woods… what is the correct wood for the Frech style banana plug?

    Great video thanks for posting this… Willy must be fun to fish with…
