Surf, Rock and Jetty Fishing

Article:
When you fish any of these three places you've reached the
pinnacle of inshore fishing. Surf fishing, technically speaking,
is fishing at any sandy shoreline where the ocean beats against
the beach. Rock and jetty fishing is surf fishing too, except
that here the tides beat against something more solid than sand.
The rocks and jetties - there is so little difference between
breakwater and jetty that this book will treat them as one and
the same - are no places for your wife or Andy or Peg to use as
a perch.
The sand beach is far safer, yet it can be treacherous, too. But
here the family can go, provided you first pick your spot well
and they continually keep their eyes open against the
unexpected. Your favorite bathing beach, or a spot close to it,
can be as good a feeding ground for fish as rock or jetty. The
unexpected to watch out for can be an unusually high breaker or
a heavy piece of floating debris. One more hazard to watch for:
people swimming. Swimmers and anglers don't mix.
The surf - whether it is beach, rock or jetty - offers its top
rewards in the fish to be caught: fighting gamesters with minds
of their own and the strength of the sea behind them. Stripers,
channel bass, permit, tarpon, snook, croakers and corbina,
squeteague and blues.
They're battlers all and once you've landed your first you're on
your way to acquiring a mental strut that sets you apart from
all other saltwater fishermen. You'll be a Sultan of the Surf, a
title than which there is no higher.
Surf fishing, obviously, is done to catch fish. But it is far
more than that. What if there is a day when you catch no fish?
Just being there can be reward enough.
The majesty of the open ocean, the pounding waves, the surging
of the tides, the sun, the sand. And why didn't you catch any
fish today? Did you read nature's signs right? Or did you read
them wrong?
Was the wind too strong? Or was the wind too weak? Did you pick
a day when the sun was too bright and pass up that day of rain
and storm? Did you cast out two hundred feet when the fish were
feeding just fifty feet offshore? Did you hook a demon and let
him have too much leeway with the line? Or did you set the line
up too tight and let him break away?
All these questions, and many more, there are answers for. But
there is only one person to give you the answers. You. Answer
them right, and if you caught no fish today, tomorrow's another
day.
The surf is a majestic place. But it is no place to fish if you
have a weak heart or a physical ailment that cuts down on your
agility and your ability to move fast - jump fast, perhaps. But
if you have an ailment that can be cured by physical therapy,
you'll find no better set of therapeutic conditions anywhere at
any price. And you'll have fun taking the treatment.
