Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic Surf Fishing Academy
To a beginner, Surf Fishing can be a very frustrating endeavor. Where do I go? What do I use for Bait? What kind of rod and reel do I need? (Hint NOT your bass rod or freshwater outfit…) Should I use heavy line? Braid or Mono? What’s a Shock Leader? What effect does tide and wind have on catching fish? How do I know if I will like it or not? How can I avoid spending lot of cash on buying equipment I may never use again? .....And there is so much more to consider.
If you are an experinced surf fisherman we can focus on anything you desire or just simply...well..fish!
