In two and a half minutes of this video, I learned better casting information than six hours of other videos on TH-cam.
thank you for that
SAME! I cant wait to get back to the beach to try this out
Ryan's the man, great tips on improving distance casting!
Very helpful. I'll be using these tips on my first time out surfcasting here in Oregon. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Outstanding class on the proper way to cast your line lord knows how many times i have made that mistake.
just a little thought about the cast b4 you execute it. Slow down and think about your form
Thanks for this video. No one has taught me to cast so I've been doing it wrong all this time
Great video! Casting from the side is also very important to practice if you want to land the lure in precise spots near debris or rocks where distance doesn't matter.
Yep but different application entirely .
posture is good, but the ONE THING that helped me cast long distances was using whats known as a casting trigger. Just get one from ebay its only like...$11? They hold the line for you securely so it doesn't slip during cast which means you can whip it with the full 100% of your power behind the line. Plus it prevents you from getting line cuts which is the last thing you want on a fishing trip!
This is pretty much the most useful thing that I have seen on the internet, in a very long time.
@Derick Jahnk This was great, thanks, been searching for "spring surf fishing nc" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
super helpful. the dude at the end was so ... surfy lol. well done, sir
i love your tutorial and instructional videos! keep up the good work man! your accent makes it even better lol
Thanks! Great jacket too!
great information thanks for all the tips .
thank you, great video. I can't wait to try some of your tips.
Damn. I've been doing it all wrong. I tried it the way you guys described and it improved my casts by 60-80 yds. Thank you! As soon as I have my shoulder surgery next week I should be on the road to recovery and casting longer than ever. I do like your videos.
Thank You! Now I will give it a go!
Carpman
Awesome video
VERY Helpful! Thx for posting this
Great info 👍
if anyone out there shoots a bow... i understood this info in that form factor. its hard to translate into text, but if you can shoot a bow ok, yout can cast well. on a recurve, it would be stand set pull release. set stand pull release. on a rod. its a bow with one end of the string detached. also, if your an archer, its pretty good fun to tie just a lead weight to a line and hitting shots with the rod,. same skillset but different use.
great video thanks
GREAT vid.
Your voice puts to me to dreamy dreamy sleep. Thanks for the tips
If it also helped going downhill, there would be a lot of rock fishers in the emergency rooms.
It's too early, but seems somewhere between a first and third class lever. Right hand pushing above the reel is third class. Left hand pulling rod butt is first class. Optimal rig trajectory is 45 degrees obviously.
Why no free spool?
can you tell me how many Ft was you rod. and where to buy it? thx
Thank you
What's the average weight in the plugs you cast.
you what real helps. it's having the wind at your back
Where are you from? That accent is amazing!
Cooking and Fishing Brooklyn, Queens or Nassau County long Island. that accent is definitely mookie
@@deanstanley2125 no it's not. Hes a foreigner do your research first. I'm from queens ny and were definitely different.
I got 15lb braid.
Great pro tips
9:22 He knew he fucked up on the cast...
YALL HELP ME OUT, 10ft medium heavy or 9ft medium for surf fishing!! I’m 5’10 but don’t know because I hold my pole more than I put it in the holder
anytime we bought medium heavy it was too heavy..go with medium if fishing lures only
@@SurfcastersJournal does a 10ft vs 9ft make a difference when holding While fishing?
@@douglascabinatan6042 not really
Wind knot, no problem but the age old question man seek to answer is why are there fences on sandy beach along the coast?
To keep the sand on the beach.
+Roy W don't know what a wind break is?
Not an age old question at all. You see them on duned beaches. They facilitate dune formation/resedimentation.
when i am ready to cast and open my bail, the line is not tight when i hold it but instead i have to hold the line against the rod. Is there any way to fix this?
Bionic finger will help, is on some yt channel's videos! 🎣
I’m a bit late
Hi Surfcaster, I used 40lbd sufix 832 braid win 80lb mono 2 feet. when I full loaded cast and the braid broke near the leader. What did I did wrong? thank
What type of knot did you use
uni knot
what I use is 30lb fluorocarbon leader to 30lb jerry brown braid. I connect them using a Albright knot. never had an issue. 80lb is to thick for leader if your surf fishing. I match the test on leader and braid.
Joe M jigging canal .60 to 80 mono leader.
Use an Albright knot. I would put on a 40lb fluorocarbon leader. Your using a very thick line against a very thin one .
Why are all of these guys left handed lmao
None of them are fishing with a left handed reel
Yakin'SC The two guys in the intro, and the main dude that is showing us how to cast, they're all left handed...
left handed?
+Schy Mark no, spinning reels meant for right handed people have the handle on the left side
+Retz No, buddy. Most reels are ambidextrous. They usually come with set left handed retrieval, but can be moved to the right side of the reel. It has nothing to do with being right or left handed. I, and every fisherman I know, crank with our left hand, yet most, if not all, are right handed. Cranking on the right is more of a preference than a signifier of being right or left handed.
I watched this video recently before a fishing trip. I've been surf fishing for years but apparently I was casting wrong. I tried this technique and it improved my cast a lot. Thanks a lot
Damn everything you said not to do about casting is how I cast lol thanks for the tips mate
Same here! LOL Gonna work on it, for real.
Guilty
I make that mistake as well lol, great tips !!
Just got my first surf pole. Video was great. Thanks
I just need to get better at holding the line with my finger so it doesn't slip when I cast...especially if I'm using 6 or 8 oz tongue sinkers. Any tips out there? Does the bail have to be positioned a certain way?
Bionic finger mounted on rod may help, it's on some yt fishing channel's videos! 🎣
mean vid bro.... shux ive been doimg it wrong...will put all your techniques in action....thanks again bro...
Zeno, you always have the best content.
Technique and equipment are all covered very well in this video. The next thing one can do to increase casting distance is to do strength training. Casting a fishing rod is no different than swinging a tennis racket, a golf club, or a baseball bat. It's no different than throwing a punch in boxing, or spiking the ball in volleyball. It's all about generating power by using the entire body to transmit force from the feet, legs, hips, core, shoulders, arms into the hands, and, finally, into the fishing rod.
Well composed, great techniques, and good tips. Now, I can go try to catch more halibut. Thanks from Southern California!
You always good advice, well presented. This does not disappoint. Looking forward to getting out on the beach tomorrow to put your advice to use.
Thanks for the tip. Really i’m casting the wrong way the reason why I can’t cast far.👍
I was waiting for someone to say fulcrum. It's all about physics.
any tips for the salt water fisherman who can only fish on vacation? casting with braided line?
Thanks for this vid! I think I just ticked every wrong that you've mentioned. XD

Hello Zeno and RyanThank you for sharing your tips. Next time, would you please include some tips about improving the triggering, which is quite important at the casting moment and for the accuracy. I have seen many surfcasters not having a fully coordination between their triggering and their other movements to get the right cast. Given this, they finally lost their lures because they were not able to avoid rocks or seaweeds that are between them and the right spot.Thank you, and greetings from Peru.
Moderate fast surf rod is the best if you cast baits or plugs. They wont tear off your baits while casting. Chances of losing fish is lesser with moderate action rods. Fast action rods are not for the weaker lot as it has less spring action and depends on the caster strength to cast further. On the positive note fast action rods is more accurate. On the downside you might risk breaking the line if you fighting a fish too restless as the rod wont yield to the sudden jerks!
I'm using a 12 foot high end telescopic surf rod which has the benefit of portability, great strength and a soft tip which is good for feeling fish action and striking. Do guys ever fish with bait or only lures?
thanks for teaching the right casting techniques and thank you for the music, feels great listening to it.
Excellent tips! The pull with the hand vs. the push is also the technique for fly fishing with spey rods. thank for a great video!
Sooooo weird I just left the beach. I’m a new surf angler all of a sudden this was recommended !
thank you all for your kind comments ...Zeno
very good. Thank you my Friend.
Will try this casting technique soon
Umm, no, not exactly. A properly executed OTG or "Hatteras" cast will out distance a "sloppy" cast any day, and with less energy exerted. From the Rockaways to Montauk I've observed surfcasters and only a scant few understand and employ a proper efficient and powerful casting technique. Casting technique, coupled with a proper rod, reel and line, are the keys to reaching out beyond 300ft, and lots further, too.
I just switched to 30lb power pro....best line I've ever used. Beats spider wire hands down. Thanks for the video. Gonna try your technique today! 😊
USMCMama believe me I tried other different brand braids from suffix, j braid, spider wire and power pro is king.
Excellent video. I am totally guilty of bad technique. Will immediately adjust.
I will be fishing for striped bass at the beach. I have a 10' pole with 30# braid. What line of mono should I use for the leader?
Very informative video. I have always used my right hand to apply force, and hence always struggled with the casting distance. Now, I will use this technique to improve my casting distance. But there is a little bit of confusion. The fishing rod is said to be an example of a third-class lever to which effort or force is applied in the middle. So, if it is a class three lever, the force must come form the right hand. Please elaborate.
Push forward with right hand, pull down with left hand.
Imagine a middle point between both hands on rod, that is the (invisible) axle the casting movement does going forward with rod. 🎣
thanks!! yesterday i went to surf fishing.. and my cast is improving by a lot!
Great rod for the money, collapses down to about 22". Great for backpacking trips and luggage travel. Fits easily into my side compartment on my hiking bag.
Very informative , thanks for posting
8 year video, still improving peoples cast. I cant wait to get out and put this into practice. I struggle so much when it comes to heavy rig casting. I can send a spoon, but its over when im using bait to fish. Going to confuse people with practicing with just a weight
Best casting video I've seen. Thanks
I can't wait to get back to the beach... I almost took out a family of tourists in Pompano Beach with my 4 oz pyramid sinker, I'm doing it wrong!
Excellent thanks for adding something that none of the other videos I have seen mention, and that makes great sense, yep I’ve been throwing a baseball :)
Enjoyed the video thanks
Love the trap intro! Just ordered my first “heavy” surf rod can’t wait to try it. Here in SOCAL we use a lot of light line setups smaller lures. Going to start throwing bigger and farther see how it goes. Thanks for the help!
so you use shock leader that many dont as straight is less worry that will catch on rings i do berkley 60lb 0.22 so less than most 15lb lines on mono and no worry on knots please research more on the cap rate on line lengh as you can get super thin these days without shock leader tbh braid is pure bite u just need the right mm and weight go berkley moss green or clear
Hi I would like to ask a few question hope you reply 1) what is your rod casting weight and what is the weight of the lure u use 2) If I add power to my cast I snapp my line ?? 3) can you plz list your gear additional question (if you want to answer)) what is that cast and how do you do it it seems to be a bit different from pendulum 01:51
great tips! I never thought to apply them to surfcasting, but these are a lot of the same ideas I've used in spey casting for steelies
Best tip to improve your cast is 9:24 - " Good Hard Pull "
What about casting far with live or frozen bait
Helpful video guys. Thanks. Will definitely keep this in mind next time I head out.
Amazing video, no bs, straight to the point! Thanks!
Hi there, thanks. Man great lesson. Greetings from South Africa ,Leslie
Good stuff, thanks for the tips.
15lb power pro on my light rod and 30lb on my heavier rod. I've hit dozens of gator blues on 15lb all day and lifted them from high structure with 30lb test. Never had a problem.
What reel is the last guy Ryan White using? The slow oscillation is interesting! I've been looking at a daiwa windcast z but thought his looked good too.
RLTanner7 look up hatteras jack store on the outer banks of north carolina. He owns that store.
That’s such an awesome jntro
great information thank you for sharing!! i will be improving my casting now for sure..
I just got 50lbs braid. DOh
Yoo meee toooo I was like yeah it’s so thin I’ll go heavy
Great content! Simple, straight forward, no fluff
Those guys getting knocked into the water was funny 😆
Thanks for the tips. I need to try that cast ASAP
Hi, Great information. What rod are you using there?
Soundtrack is nice.
Great video great instructions. Also love the sand on that beach !!!
Next week on Christopher Walken Goes Fishing
Hi I would like to know is 12FT rod cast better than 10FT rod? Thanks
yes 10foot is more pier but depending on line mm should stll whack it out just try if windy and strong waves put tripod high butt end so rod is above the first 2 waves your be fine then if non weed
I'm a bait fisherman would this help me also
How am I to trust this guy and he has a bail reel
I do it from the side if nobody is to my left or right
