Surf Fishing is a good way to catch a variety of saltwater species. It can be a lot of fun and it might be your only option to
fish the ocean if you don't have access to a boat. Surf fishing can be experienced from sandy beaches, rocky beaches,
rock jetties and from fishing piers.
Surf Fishing Tackle
If you are looking to get into surf fishing, it is a good idea to get the proper tackle for your situation. You can get away
with your typical fishing gear for some surf fishing situations, but you will catch more fish and bigger fish if you are
equipped with the correct fishing tackle. The typical surf fishing setup consists of an 8 or 9 foot rod and reel with 14 to 20
pound test line. The area you are fishing and the species you are targeting will dictate what you should use. If you are
fishing sandy beaches, longer rods work well for making long casts and keeping your line above the incoming waves. If
the waves are small (1 to 2 feet) along the beach, a shorter rod can get the job done. If you are fishing from rocks or
jetties, you can probably get away with a shorter rod as well.
