Surf Fishing Questions

[OldTimer]

Zippy,

I really can’t comment on the fishing in that location – no experience there.

However, I will share that 15’ is a lot of rod, and for many (including me) way too much. A rod of this length may be good for helping to keep your line up over top of big surf when in a holder –but it certainly is not something you wish to use for casting lures – it will be a struggle and will exhaust you.

Plus - for sure – they are not for use on boats.

Shorter rods (9’ and less) are better for lures, and you may wish the rod to have a bit faster tip than the rod I recommended previously for bait.

If new to “long” rods you may find that jumping to a 12’ length (rather than 15’) is a simpler transition and more enjoyable experience when fishing with bait. Even still – it will take practice to get the timing.

Cheers,
