Saltwater fishing from the shore

[Trigga]

People think you need a boat to catch anything worthwhile. I spent a morning surf fishing last fall with a medium-heavy spinning setup and a bucktail jig and pulled in more striper than I expected. Shore fishing is real fishing. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I love surf fishing for that reason, people don’t get how good it can be until they see the catch.

Shore fishing gets way too much hate, sometimes all you need is a rod, a jig and patience for a full cooler.

Fishing from the shore gets overlooked a lot, mostly because it doesn’t make for flashy Instagram posts. But some of my best striper nights were spent standing ankle-deep in the surf at 2 a.m., headlamp on, casting a needlefish plug.

Shore fishing really gets overlooked. Give me a bucktail and a good dose of patience and I bet I'll outfish half the boats out there. You don't actually need a big hull to get to the water, after all.
