I put an eye bolt through a lacrosse ball and use it to practice. It weighs about 6 ounces and has similar wind resistance to a mullet head. It helps me practice pendulum and lay down casts.

The biggest tip that helped me is safety while casting. You don't realize how much power you can generate leveraging a 10+ foot rod with a 3+ oz weight. Especially on 30 pd or more braid. It can easily shred through your hand and fingers much like a bandsaw and send you to the ER requiring stitches.. personally I use a glove on my dominant hand, but their are other solutions out there as well.

Great video, just a suggestion, when you are on a fish, as you are reeling, slowly make your way towards the water so you don't have to drag the fish over 50 feet of sandy beach. Particularly for a non keeper fish, you want to minimize sand exposure to maximize their chance of living.

Thanks for the helpful tips.

Good demonstration. I generaly go for the. "Its like pitching a baseball but instead of a baseball its an axe" analogy.

I started watching your videos for tips a few months ago. The next best thing to "being there, actually fishing," is learning from serious anglers who share their knowledge. On my surf-casts, I gently bounce my line twice, and on the third and biggest bounce, I take two steps forward and then swing out. I generally cast further than anybody I see on the beach, and yeah, I get away with 25lb braid catching 3 lb Dungess with 3 oz of weight plus 2 ounces of bait. Super fun! Thanks! hooked up 5 nice Dungeness last weekend in Tomales Bay, CA. Can't wait to go back.

Always enjoy watching you guys fish. Especially in the Chesapeake.. Spent a few years doing environmental work stationed in Grasonville near the Kent Narrows. Loved it there. Your dad's T style dropper loop really helped me out last week. Thanks Dad. John Holden's Easy Cast video helped me get respectable distances reliably . It is about "loading" the rod early in the cast and keeping the reel hand high after release.

Loved watching how you cleaned and grilled pompano.

Great video . Well explained

let out more line when you cast. Start with the lead on the ground and fully load the rod then use the same method you are using. Once you have that down you can move to a pendulum where you are swinging the lead to load the rod instead of working it off the ground. Also, a clipped down rig will throw farther still as you get a more streamlined bait.

Just watching your latest vid. I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and looking at your casting on the longer rods, you would probably benefit from "the pendulum cast ". Its used alot over here especially using heavy weights in strong current. Have a look up on KZread for beach casting in the UK. Keep up the good work 👏 👍 tight lines bud.

Im a fan of hey skippers. Been subs to it for the past 4yrs+ , ive learn alot regarding the old vid of lure methods, rigs & also the bait. But im gonna advice afew regarding surf casting. First thing choose braided line (30lbs - 50lbs) for your reel . Always always use shock leader (always higher Lbs then your main line. 40lbs - 60lbs) . You also need to use a heavy sinker in order to cast all the weight & line out ( Recommended Size 3 to 5 sinker ). Stronger wave = Heavier Sinker. Always cast out your line at at 45° angle . It will help you push the reel line further & smoother. I hope this help you guys out. Ive been surf casting for over 9yrs. Cheers ♥️👍🏼

I forgot to mention, surf casting rod recommended are from 10ft to 15ft. 2 piece rod has better back bone power compare to 3/4 piece rod. And also for reel size i will recomment size 5000 up to 10000 depanding on how far you can cast & how deep is the water your fishing at. Hope this helps. Cheers ♥️👍🏼

thank you bro for good idea

You ready fell in love with that stella after your dad recommended it.

It's not always about the rod length. In Australia we have the Alvey Sidecaster Reels (with matched rod) which are very good at casting long distances (around 200 metres), and especially good at casting light baits with heavy line. I also choose the smallest diameter line for a given breaking strain which adds considerably more distance to your cast. If the spool, no matter which reel type used, is fully spooled to capacity then you'll get maximum distance. Low line spools really lowers your distance due to friction of the line against the spool lip.

"Boom Shaka Lacka".... Awesome!

Hey Skipper! Loving your videos like always. Now you've got me buying my first 12 foot surf rod. Haven't chosen a reel yet. Thinking about braid for sure. Do I need a big spinning reel for a 12 footer? What gear ratio would you recommend for an amiture?

TIP: give your rig to a surfer and tell him to drop it wayy out there in a sweet spot. Give him a redbull from your cooler first.

Hi,it's very great.I'm following.It's another awesome of fishing style.Thanks.God bless.

The longest surf rod I ever owned was a 10 foot long surf rod, but I never really liked it much. It was too hard to cast. I have actually done well using a 8 foot rod for surf fishing which only disadvantage was I couldn't get out far enough for Spanish Mackerel and Spotted Trout. However, it was fine for any other fish I would target from the surf. When the blue fish are running in November and September, they would be chasing mullet, and come in really close to shore, just like the flounder and Whiting are also very close in as well. This video has helped me realize that I wanted to get other types of fish, your methods would be useful as well. Thanks!

I am heading to Nags Head this weekend. Maybe I will see you around.

Please try the fishing cannon, should be fun 😆

Pick a spot 45 degrees above the water to cast at and add power only at the end of your cast. Look into a Breakaway cannon, it will save your finger and allow for more power on the cast. They also make rigs that clip the bait to the lead and prevent the helicoptering that happens. Lastly please use a shock leader for power casting.

A tip from english carp fishing, you want the lead at around where the rod connect's. This will help increase the speed of the lead which will help you cast longer :) also using a finger stall will help alot as it will allow you to put more power into the cast because you can't feel the line as much on your finger, hope this help's.

awesome video. always fun to be able to cast out far and wait for a fish in the surf to nail the bait. another good tip i like to share is wen you cast, point your rod to 10 o'clock. to allow the line to fly out like a rainbow and also reduces friction on the line against the guide. usually for long distance, i use a long spool reel like the shimano ultegra. would like to see u try using a longer surf rod haha that would b fun.

@Hoombolt

3 жыл бұрын

LOL you are here as well kiwi fisher! hahahha!!

Another thing to note is holding the rod in the right orientation. There are two spine on a rod, the soft and the hard spine. the hard spine runs on the bottom side of the rod, for a spinning rod the same side as the reel. This spine is more stiff and is what allows for the hook setting power, but also it remains stiff when casting and has a stronger spring reaction than the soft spine. Turning your rod even just a few degrees, something done by just loosening your wrist and letting it flex, can greatly affect both accuracy and distance. My advice is to make sure you hold the rod with the guides straight up or straight down, depending on rod(casting or spinning). Hold that wrist strong when making hard casts.

OMG your "go to" reel runs $1100 and no release trigger or glove??

always watching your tutorial....thank you. though i cant afford to buy the best set up but i have my second hand set up which i bought online...and i use all your style and its amazing...though beaches here in Philippines are over fished but still i cant get sum of it.. thanks guys!

Nice video, I just think that if you want to cast with 8 oz + bait, then the load must be about 1/3 of the length of the fishing rod. To balance the force and curve of the ellipse the lead flies. It is also necessary to release the line approx. 45° to 50° from the ground, so that the lead and bait together have the correct radius of the ellipse into the distance. With a 390 cm rod and 5 oz lead (of course in a good area near the water) you can cast approx. 110 m (360 ft). Eric

Hello from Brazil! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I have a question about how to prepare natural baits with coarse salt. Why do that?

Great video, you just got a new subscriber buddy 👍

Love your products. I’ve order squiddy bits several times. The shrimp are very small. Possible to make bigger salted shrimp packs? Thank you.

I have always been reluctant to comment because you catch a lot of fish and I don't mean to criticise. Everyone has his own style. Here in Europe we do a lot of Surfcasting and it's different at the mediterranean from the Atlantic. But if you have a look at the way they surf cast in the UK you'd be surprised with the solutions that they've come up with... Tackle wise and on how to cast. I see people mentioned pendulum casting which works great with multiplier reels but these days they developed great rods for fixed spool reels that will launch your bait to the horizon with a symple "off-the-ground" cast. We also let the lead hang lower when casting, more or less near the first eye of the rod and the reel is pointed upwards more, then giving it a good swing (let the blank do it's work) pointing the rod upwards. Great examples TA Fishing, Sandmans Tackle, Danny Moeskop...

For how long does the content of the salt box last? Also, what is the best way to store it?

It seems strong that in USA the men only have small rods. In Europe people only speak of a surf rod if he has more than 13 feet otherwise you have a spinning rod. I always use my 16.48 feet (5 meter) rods. Only as a tip, if you want to do surf cast, you cannot do your lead 1.5 feet under the tip of your rod to throw in, leave the length of your line to the bottom eye to throw in. This way De Lijn conveys more power to your throw. For the rest it is a nice contribution again. Thx Friend
