Beach Casting for Beginners - The Off the Ground Cast.

The off the ground cast is an excellent cast to use from sandy and shingle beaches. In this video I show how I beach cast using the off the ground cast.
There are many different ways and techniques to do this cast but this is the way that works for me, its an ideal cast for when you need to get your bait out a bit further from the shore to feeding fish and when casting into an onshore wind.
I usually use a multiplier for most of my beach fishing but this cast can also be done using a fixed spool just remember to use something to protect your finger during the cast.

I’ve been practicing my otg cast with a 12’6 rod and a slosh multiplier but can’t seem to get past the 90 odd yard mark any tips

[@davidschwartz9636]

Thanks for that Gary. Up till now I’ve been using fixed spool, but I wouldn’t mind having a try with a multiplier.

[@joshstewart9954]

I was fishing here at marsden a few weeks ago when the latest storm hit and we where still fishing then we officially packed up cause the wind was that bad u couldn’t even cast

[@EireFirst2024]

The 30lb as opposed to say 15lb cuts down on the birdys doesn't it 😉👍👍

[@paulgoodenough8089]

Well done Mate brilliant video. Cheers for the heads up. I've been doing overhead thump . Going to try this on the next session. Tight lines cheers Paul 🎣🍻

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Paul, tight lines 👍

[@NathenToZuo]

how to cast with spinning rod?

[@noelduggan72]

Excellent Video!!! - Im Finding The 'Gemini Splashdown' Bait Clips Are Working Very Well For Me, Especially When Off The Ground Casting. - They Don't Unclip When You Lay Them On The Sand or Pier To Cast, And I Haven't Had A Bait Come Back Yet That Hasn't Unclipped In The Water. A Very Clever Little Device, I Use Them With A Pulley Rig -👍

Apakah tidak ada kail... Itu hanya pemberat

[@carolinekeightley9921]

Great video. Really clear demo on how to do this cast. Thanks.

[@catchacow1927]

Thank you for adding the graphics! It made it so much clearer to see what was happening! Top man, tight lines

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks glad they helped, tight lines.

[@stephenjsmith4928]

Hi, what rod would you recommend. Cheers.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi, any beach caster that can comfortably cast 5 to 7oz weight.

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

Good one I found is if you have a line feeder/aligner (?) on your multiplier, is before you cast, walk the line out along the beach 100 or so yards. This way when you cast everything is in line.

[@riedewaanadams3534]

Very helpful 👍 thank you

[@johnduffy5548]

Really helpful. Many thanks.

[@andrewmorke]

Good instructional quality.

[@LEBANNERED]

Thanks

[@carlosthejackel7581]

Can you still cast like this if you're using gripper weights ?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Yes off the beach.

[@carlosthejackel7581]

@fishingintheukgarywood I've never tried casting this way I will deffo give this cast a try

[@rohikam4205]

Thank you for the graphics! It made it so much easy to understand.

[@mryorkie]

Will this work with a spinning reel.?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

I'm not sure I haven't tried it with a spinning reel.

[@77hansolo77]

Very nice video . thx mate. the graphics are very helpfull. how far can you cast with your setup and which rod do you use?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks, im not sure how far I can cast. I haven't measured. I mainly use a century rod.

[@phildean8797]

Great vid. Love the graphics. Glad my dog and I weren’t there. You’d have had no peace.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Phil 👍

[@southwalesfishing4003]

When off the ground casting with a pulley whats the best thing to use to out hook in I take it an imp will just come undone why you try to lay it flat on beach cheers

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

I usually use the Gemini Splashdown solo bait clips. They work quite well for off the ground casting.

[@stuartcross749]

Could u do this cast on a ruffer beach with rocks stone's uneven ground thanks

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

It's mainly for a sand and shingle beach because you might get caught on a rock and snap your line if its to rocky.

[@zamriomar1741]

Tqvm sir,from malaysia

[@kimpline]

when you let your off to free the line ?

[@stevecoppin4278]

you make it look that easy mate

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Steve 👍

[@jimthe1st846]

question- was this on the isle of wight somewhere?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

No its in the north east of England.

[@paulgoode8978]

Great video. Have tried this cast and always seems to go right when i cast. Maybe trying too hard or realeasing too early. Any thoughts?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Paul, maybe try slowing your cast down and releasing a little bit later.

[@paulgoode8978]

Thxs for the reply. Will try your suggestions and get a bit more practice in.

[@alexbrooks5738]

@@paulgoode8978 I carp fish we are told the reel hand at the bottom of the cast gives you your direction point it where you want your lead to land I can say its true for me . Assuming it's the same for this cast.

[@SonovMi]

As a beginner, I've got ask what a leader is...

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

A leader is a piece of line attached to the end of your main line with a higher breaking strain than that of your main line, its purpose is to take the shock of the cast so that you can use a lighter main line for further casting distance and better bite detection. The rule of thumb is for every 1oz of weight that you use you should use 10lb of shock leader. So if you were using a 6oz fishing weight you would use a minimum of 60lb leader.

[@SonovMi]

@@fishingintheukgarywood thanks so much 😃
