if you are truly looking to learn about the surf part of
surfcasting,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it will take time and learning spots
to make your fishing windows the MOST productive.

also, with the coming Winter i would suggest 4 or 5 books that are primers for chasing Stripers. it's not rocket science, but it dang shore ain't sweetwater fishin', although there ARE parallels~~~

each of the following books has it's own interpretation of this obsessive thang we do, and each one will shed it's unigue light upon the multi-layered facets of surfcasting for stripers.

"On the Run" by David(?) DiBenedetto
"Striper Surf" by Frank Daignault
"A Season on the Edge" by John Skinner
"Surfcasting the Striper Coast" by DJ Muller(JZ boy)
"Striper Tales" by DJ Muller

another EXCELLENT resource is Mike Laptew~~~
his DVD's are without equal, and FULL of knowledge from an underwater perspective.
he doesn't go by FishEye for chits and giggles. 'Stripers Gone Wild" is nothing short of amazing!

not hands on stuff,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yet, in order for you to show her,
it makes sense to me to learn as much as you can this Winter to help you to be a more effective mentor. go to seminars over the next few months as well. DJ is excellent, Steve McKenna, Alberto Knie, Charlie Cinto, Capt White, pick a topic at a Fishing Show and TAKE NOTES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

lastly, as others have said~~~ search the archives here. there is a TON of info on EVERY surfcasting related topic you could imagine,,,,,,,from A to Z! and ASK questions as you learn and fish, fish and learn. some of us are crustier than others, but to a man ~if you are putting in the time~ this collected bunch of rockhoppers and fiberglassjockies WILL absolutely CRUSH you and your daughter's learing curves,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i began with a wally world set-up and my first keeper was a 36"er, 6 yrs ago on Oct 22, broad daylight, on a Wild Eye STORM p-nut bunker swim shad. start simple to sea if you and she even like the salt,,,,,,,,,,,,,i also chunked bunker, to very good results, for the first season and a half after that. there is no shame in using BAIT and it can be verrrrrry effective at the right SPOT.

GOOD LUCK,,,,,,,,,,,,,and keep at it, you will be GLAD you did!! and so will yer baby girl. there ain't nuthin' better than putting yer child on their first striper, then a keeper, then a 20#'er, then a,,,,,,,,,,,,you get the idea
