Re: Long Distance Casting
Yup, surf fishing is a blast. Casting a plug into the middle of a school of blues moving along the shoreline is one of my fondest fishing memories. I grew up in Delaware, where we'd catch flounder, blues, and sea trout (aka weakfish) out of the surf. We never had quite the success that they have in Hatteras, though.
Re: Long Distance Casting
I forgot to mention a guy by the name of Lou McEachern threw a sinker over the Houston Astrodome. I saw another guy throw a 4 oz sinker through my friend's windsheild. I also heard a pro say to a beginner that he needed a 1/4 mile around him to be safe while learning. I would say that might be good advice.
Re: Long Distance Casting
I watched guys use kayaks to take baits out on the Buxton point at Hatteras. That is a whole different fishing experience watching those guys on the Point.

Definitely a blast catching large bluefish! Been hitting Rhode Island and Cape Cod the last three falls for blues and stripers. Good fun!
