Was wondering if anyone who fishes ocean county beaches has experimented with bigger gear/distance casting approach more associated with OBX? Any of the guys who have been fishing these parts for decades think it's times to consider such a shift in approach?
Conventional wisdom down here about fish being close when they're around and 8-9 footers being plenty of rod still hold somewhat true but it feels less so at times..
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has had the courage/audacity to walk down an NJ beach with a 13 footer yet and if you feel like it has made a difference in your success rate..
Mostly stripers and blues in mind here...and both heavy chunking and big poppers in mind as well.
