Surfcasting, which literally means fishing in the wave, is an incredibly effective technique for fishing bass. It can be practiced throughout the day even if the twilight remains a favorable time.
First, you will have to search the best spots on a beach. They can be sandbanks that can be spotted thanks to the waves that break. If the sea is calm, it is better to throw not far from rocks that you know or can see. Be careful not to get too close either in order to avoid unnecessary breakages.
We start the assembly behind these sandbanks where the bar is watching for its prey or near the rocks. The rod must then be placed on the rod holder, which is inserted into the sand and allows the wire to be quite high. This has two advantages. The wire normally passes over the waves and algae, so the setting does not move. And secondly, it prevents the fisherman or anyone else from taking the line and ruining the fishery.
Once the rod is launched, you just need for it to bite.
There are two types of surfcasting
The first, called "to move back", consists in starting the setting at low tide during the display. The rod is then raised with the tide, leaving the assembly in its place. This makes it possible to obtain fishing distances of up to 250 or even 300m.
The second is fixed station surfcasting where the tide is not necessarily taken into account and fishing distances are generally shorter. This technique allows more land to be prospected laterally on a beach.
Bait: There are many varieties of bait to fish for sea bass in surfcasting, including: Sand eel, worm, mackerel, soft crab, shrimp, etc. You have to hang the bait on the hook.
Material
RodÂ
The range of surfcasting rods is very wide and it is not always easy to choose the right material. For this fishing technique, however, it is necessary to be able to throw very far in order to have access to interesting places. The sizes vary between 3m90 and 5m or more. The size of the rod does not necessarily influence the throwing distance. The size of the rod will be important if you are fishing in an area where waves break far enough so that the line can pass over the rollers and algae.
ReelÂ
For surfcasting, there are several criteria to remember when buying a reel.
- Good corrosion protection
- A capacity of 300m in 40/100
- A minimum recovery of 70cm per crank revolution
- Several ball bearings
LineÂ
You can use nylon or braided yarn according to your preferences.
