Another thing to note is when I fished from the boat a lot I would score well just out of the surf guys casting range. When surf fishing now, I will try to employ tactics to gain more distance. If eel fishing, I will try deep spots with the wind at my back. Also, cutting the last 4" off the tail of an eel and fishing with a cigar butt will net you considerable distance, which is sometimes all that's needed. If all else fails, simply go home.
Back Beach,
Very good advice!
