Ever since man has evolved, surf fishing is already in existence. Before it is a source of sustenance now, it has evolved as a profession and a hobby. Afraid that you don’t have the perfect cast? However, not having the perfect cast is not a cause of concern.
Here are some cheat sheets on how to have a successful catch in surf fishing.
Pre-surf fishing to do’s:
Choose the best location where you can do surf fishing. Start to prepare the tools and do some background check whether the fish that one plans to catch swims in the chosen area.
It is important to have snacks on hand in case one gets hungry waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Surf fishing: Moment of Truth
Stake your reel holder in the sand right above the water line.
Bait the hook one is using. The round lure that is very applicable is the spoon. It casts well into the wind and can be retrieved at different depths. Since fish have short memories, they don’t have the ability to adapt from this form of fishing. It is better to use a foot of steel leader if one plans to catch small sharks or mackerel.
Begin by wading out in the ocean with the rod. Wade until you get to the crest of the first sandbar.
Make sure to point the tip of the reel where one expects the bait to land.
Lift the point of the rod up at about a 45 degree angle (Consider this your starting point.).
Swing the top of the rod in a backward motion parallel to the water.
Then fling the rod forward but release the line halfway through the motion.
Go back up to the beach and set the rod to its holder.
Relax and enjoy the moment for the first fish to bite! This hobby might be a bit too costly. Just like other hobbies, it is important to invest and save for it. The return of investment is worth its yield.
One should be at the right place or at the right time to have some measure of success in surf fishing. So better get the gear prepared and experience it first hand. Time to cast the rod and wait for a big catch. Let’s do some surf fishing
