    Check out the blog post here: bit.ly/3fNCB39
    Hands down the most important thing you could learn about surf fishing is how to read a beach.
    Knowing what different wave actions and water movements mean is the difference between you finding fish and getting skunked.
    Fish need structure to eat and survive.
    And since you can't use a fish finder on the beach, YOU are the fish finder!
    So in this video, you'll learn:
    - How to find structure standing on a beach
    - What areas to look for at lower tides
    - Why structure is important to finding fish
    - And more!
    Do you have more tips for reading the beach?
    Let me know if you have questions or feedback in the comments on our Fishing Tips page: bit.ly/3fNCB39

    I'm thoroughly impressed. That was the most comprehensive surf fishing video I've come across on UA-cam. That was like taking a paid course on how to surf fish. Excellent work.

    I've watched a heap of great youtube videos on reading the beach but this one is the best. She actually points out exactly where the different beach structures are so that there is absolutely no doubt or confusion about what to look for. Excellent job.

    Wow Courtney; You knocked it out of the park ,I'm not much of a surf guy ,been trying to get into it a bit more,watched several videos on how to read the beach but you did the best job explaining the structure and what to look for and especially showing us exactly what it looks like on the water .Great Job glad your on our team Thanks for sharing.

    Super informative video I’ve seen for beach fishing I learned a lot. Every time I’d go out and fish the surf I’d just cast out randomly but thanks to this video I can now read the surf and know how far I have to cast out. Once again thank you Salt Strong for another great informative video. 👍🏻

  • @charlesjackson3433
    @charlesjackson3433 2 роки тому +3

    Best surf reading video I've seen. I've never fished on the beach but when I do the percentages of me catching any fish will go way up because of studying this video. Thank you so much.

  • @m.antoinette3410
    @m.antoinette3410 3 роки тому +12

    Excellent video. I was always told that high tide was the only time to fish and this video shows the value of scouting the beach at low tide to really see the structure. So glad you got with these guys so that more people can get benefit of your knowledge. ❤️Keep up the great work!

    @redfishslaya9501 3 роки тому +2

    Good video. Here in La we like to wade out to the first bar and fish the trough on both sides. I like to find a break in the bar and fish the back side. Trout will lay up in the slack water and ambush bait coming through. We use jigs with soft plastic. Topwater early can be awesome.

    Just went to the outer banks to try surf fishing for the first time... this would've been helpful to see in advance but being out there and watching you, I know exactly what you're talking about because I was out there and saw the point, the hole, sandbar etc.... great video. I'll be out again.

    I’m a beginner and I had look at many videos on how to read the surf for fishing, this video (class) is so far the best I have found: well estructure, well presented, great flow of information delivered in a relaxed (as opposed to rushed) manner , even the tone of your voice and the articulation of the words are right on point. Thank You!

    This was perfect. A first person view from the beach pointing out exactly what to look for. Most videos show aerial shots which aren't helpful unless the beach you're trekking to is at the bottom of a cliff. The white board presentation made it all make even more sense. Thank you :)
