Surfcasting: Sport of catching fish such as striped bass by casting into the ocean from on or near the shore. Surfcasters often wear waders and wetsuits to venture deeper into the surf and/or stand on partially submerged rocks. 

Surf Fishing Gear and Assessories:
Waders and wetsuits should be comfortable, lightweight, and watertight. Neoprene is a popular material. Bring along a plug bag, and useful items like pliers for cutting line, bending wire, and de-hooking catches. Don't forget a cooler for your catch!

Tackle:
Surf rods are generally between 12 and 16 feet long, constructed to withstand the force of casting a bait and weight between 55 to 100 yards offshore. Saltwater spinning reels are most often employed with heavy, braided line or 20 to 25 pound monofilament, and a strong 30 to 50 pound shock leader, along with 2 to 5 ounce lead sinkers. A sturdy sand spike rod holder is a necessity.  

 Bait and Lures:
A variety of live and dead bait such as eels, sandworms, and squid be used depending on the fish species being sought. Artificial Lures can also be utilized such as topwater plugs, spoon jigs, pencil poppers, bucktails, and darters. The highly coveted striped bass is particularly fond of live eels. The current world record striped bass ("striper") weighed in at 81 pound 14 ounces caught by Greg Myerson in Long Island Sound, Westbrook, CT was caught with a live eel.
