Ep. 30: PCS Show Preview, El Salvador Trip & New [FISH]rx Colors

Hosts: Daniel Dahlin ([FISH]rx), El Charly, Luke Dean (Bait Slingers / Artemis Charters)

Episode 30, recorded live on February 14, 2024, is a no-guest check-in episode covering what was coming next for the crew and the brand. The conversation moves through the PCS Show, new [FISH]rx colors, upcoming community events, local pre-storm fishing conditions, and Daniel’s first trip to El Salvador.

In This Episode

• PCS Show preview — new [FISH]rx colors heading to the booth and the process of building and testing fresh ideas
• El Salvador trip announcement — Daniel preparing to fish unfamiliar water and target species outside the usual SoCal playbook
• New [FISH]rx colors in development — color creation as part of the fishing process, not separate from it
• Salty Basstards event preview — [FISH]rx baits heading into another community gathering outside the main show circuit
• Local fishing report — pre-storm activity and how approaching weather changes the bite
• Wall and inner harbor planning — multiple SoCal options in play for the coming season, from PV to the wall to inner harbor structure

How New Water Changes the Way You Fish

The El Salvador discussion is the most useful part of this episode because it shows how Daniel approaches unfamiliar fishing. The point is not to already know exactly what to do — it is to be willing to learn in real time, even when the weights, species, and water all feel different from home.

That mindset applies just as much to local fishing. A slow harbor session, a changing tide, or unfamiliar structure all give feedback. The anglers who improve are usually the ones who pay attention to what the day is teaching instead of forcing a fixed plan.

This same idea carries into local SoCal fishing when conditions shift before a storm or when fish move between the wall, the harbor, and nearby structure. The SoCal structure fishing guide and soft plastic color guide both support that way of thinking: adapt to conditions, then refine the presentation.

Why This Episode Matters

This episode matters because it captures the show in planning mode — before the trips, before the events, and before some of the ideas discussed here became bigger parts of the [FISH]rx story.

For anglers, the takeaway is simple: good fishing often starts with curiosity. Whether you’re fishing new water or your usual harbor, being willing to learn from the conditions is what moves things forward.
