There are many ways to fish and one of them is surf fishing. Many people enjoy the sport of surf fishing. There are a few things to keep in mind before you hit the beach. When surf fishing it is important to go at the right time. Fish tend to come to the surf more when there is a nice light east breeze. Fish bite really well right before a storm, or when the weather is about to change. Some of the best fishing is early morning around sunrise and right before dark.
      Remember, if the surf is too rough then you will need to reposition where you are casting your line. Cast your fishing lure at the inlet or go to the pier to fish. If the surf is still rough, then consider using a hurricane type sinker or a sputnik sinker. These handle better in rough waters than the traditional sinker. Use a lighter fishing line so you can cast further. Plus, this will allow you to use less sinker weights if the line is light. Keep your line moving across the bottom so you can cover more space and it makes it look like your bait is alive. Fish like to catch live bait.
      If you catch a big fish, then use your drag and let the surf bring the fish in. Don't fight against it too much or you will lose the fish in the surf. Once you reel it in, put it in a box of some sort to keep it away from the seagulls. Have fun surf fishing. Enjoy the beautiful ocean and take these helpful tips to get the fish you have been waiting to catch.
