Surfcasting tips.
On the beach wear warm body waders and wade out further distance.
Fish the incoming tides.
Be prepared to fish into the night.
Have pre-baited traces ready to clip on to replace empty hooks.
If plagued by paddle crabs stick it out as this means the snapper have arrived
Try tough baits like salted mullet when crabs are a problem.
Always secure baits with bait elastic.
Check it out promising areas at low tide when the contour of the bottom and key features like kelp beds, guts and channels are revealed.
Always use the Rod, not the reel, to lead a fish into the rocks or beach and wait for an incoming wave and use the power of the water to float the fish to you.
