Summertime is high season for surfcasters, though this enjoyable and accessible type of fishing can be practiced year-round in the states of California. Previous columns have looked at the type of surfline conditions that can be beneficial for surfcasters as well as basic equipment details. Good baits to use include natural foods such as sandcrabs, shrimp or mussel meat. Very popular these days is an artificial bait that resembles natural sand worms or “nereis.” GULP! puts out a moist and worm product packaged in sealable bags that are biodegradable, and carry a scent for attraction. Most surfcasters thread the worm onto the hook to present a straight appearance along the shank of the hook.They are available up to six inches long, but most surfcasters use the two-inch models.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...
