Of coarse it's not as hard as some other type of surfcasting.
I can do both.I like both.
I can go stand on a rock reef in the middle of the south side of Montauk an take waves all night or i can go stand on a rock an thro 4-5 oz jigs jiggin he big ditch.they are not the same both of em will wear u out after night of fishin em.both can reward u with good fish.
I can hang anywhere with u bill.No doubt in my mind.i know guys that are more hardcore than I.
U should come with me a few nights will hit 3 or 4 different spots.
Thro big lead all night.If u hook a 20 lber u will want me to reel em in for ya.When a 35 takes the jig he wants to hurt it.It's like havin a orgasm to a jig guy.O ya some spots if u can't chuck that 5 oz jig 120 only holdin the rod back to 10 o'clock, u ain't gettin em.
so eat ur wheaties..
If u ask me feedin live bait to big fish in the aquarium is not surfcasting either...
U like to stir the pot thats funny but u got no sense of humor....
I think clamma is right u are a whacko.Nice topic though..

wow, you're a real man


I'm going to leave now to bring my son Danny surf fishing at the canal, he wants to be a surf fisher for fish. He wants to catch a pollack

The canal is one of the most frustrating and difficult place to fish on the entire striper coast. Don't knock it till you try it. What is the point of this thread other than to start some contreversy? I respect the jiggers of the canal so much especially after trying to learn it the past few seasons. Eeling in the canal? Another art form in itself. Try setting up on a fish when the first half of your cast is flowing west and the last half is flowing east. Not fishing the canal because it has no "surf" makes you sound like an elitist. I like catching fish

Actually easier to cast 6 all night than to cast 3

Okaaay, 36 to go
