Landing Big Fish in Big Surf

NICE FISH, GOOD VID.

Those guys that release those big stripers...I wonder if it's because they don't like to eat fish? I love fish and if I ever caught another keeper...I'd keep it lol.

Well we don't get them quite so big, but the method is the same. Use the incoming wave to bring the fish onto the shore then grab it or use the trace to pull the fish onto the shingle. Works for me!

Thanks for the video,.... I just bought my rig and headed to Montauk in the next few weeks. I'm working a bit in the NJ area and will hit the surf there as well. AG

what's the average casting distance for surf fishing?

[curtgowdysharkhunter]

@Unplugged704 i would say 50 yards up to 100 yards

[curtgowdysharkhunter]

my biggest striper was a 48 inch 40plus pounder that i fought for 45 minutes in the chesepeake bay

Looked like a yozuri crystal minnow - just goes to show smaller baits do catch big fish!

@daves745t: It was a Daiwa swimmer
