I’ve been surf fishing for three years. Out right now practicing the way you explain it in this video and already casting 10 yards more. Thanks!

I’ve been surf fishing for over 40 years and you’ve described that perfectly 👍🎣 great job!

Thank you for breaking down every little thing you do . i'm somewhat new at surf fishing (2 years) and when trying to help me with casting no one has ever mentioning tightening the drag to max, but it makes sense because i can definitely feel the line slipping when i start to cast. can't wait to try it!

The follow through, in aiming with the rod, is so very important! 🎣

Been casting in a very similar fashion but what you mentioned about adjusting the drag to the level you mentioned was something new for me. Will definitely try it out next time I go fishing, thanks mate

Awesome video. Thanks for this I learnt a lot. Just bought myself a new 12ft rod and this video has given me some great insight into casting. I have slowly moved from 7ft - 10ft and now trying out a 12ft. Keep up the great content.

Just watched your '100 yard' surf casting video and enjoyed it. You covered alot of ground. Hard to do in a quick lesson. You probably have many years of power casting. So do I. My comments come from 2 tips I have learned and use. 1) The 10 to 1 rule/ ratio. For a 2 oz. Pyramid use 20 lb. line (mono or braid). For 3 oz. lead us 30 lb. line and on and on. When putting the muscles into it a 'SNAP OFF' can be the most dangerous thing around surf casting. Maybe some viewers aren't ready for 'shock leader class' but I always use the 10 to 1 rule. Last but not least' finally. On the ready...set.... go on the cast. I use the ready...set...check the weigh, little pendulum swing away from Starts the rod loading up even before your swing. With all that being said you probably can out cast me on my best day which was like 30 years ago.

Natural coach, certainly would be surprised if this gentleman had not coached sports previously. His tempo on casting was just at the perfect speed for me so I did not have to constantly go back in video. Being in the North East, another month or so and stripers will arrive on Cape Cod and I will practice what he preached.

What a great video.
Just started surf casting on Long Island NY this past Fall.
Picked up a 10’ Penn Battalion and a Penn Slammer 6500 DX.
Going to use your tips to improve my casting,

[Truckmechanic]

Thanks for the video I just picked up a 9 foot penn wrath combo gonna be putting this into practice its definitely alot more rod than the 7 footers I'm used to slinging baits with

Many thanks. Really helpful for a newbie like me, casting off a rocky coastal spot. ☺

Holy cow, this guy is a great teacher

Great video! Another alternative that most of us Cape Cod Canal fisherman use for finger protection is hockey tape or medical tape. Cheap and effective. Also thinner braid will improve distance but if you are fishing rocky areas I suggest thicker braid.

Hi there buddy! Try to cast the same way as in the video but with your hands outstretched and after you let go of the line keep your rod at an 45 degree angle . You will see major improvements in distance! Also your reel size its an important factor when it comes to cast long distances. I would say for your rod a 7000 reel would work perfect togheter. After all these are just some tips, if you wanna count them fine if not still fine. Push with your right and pull with your left. Keep working and keep posting cause i love your videos.
