From shore. A basic rule to follow for distance is that you want the knot for your running line (braid) to your leader knot (mono or flouro shocker) to remain outside of your guides and off your spool.

Try: ( your runnning line)65# micro swivel -> 3 foot length of mono or flouro -> whichever snap or swivel you prefer to attach your leader. * lure

If that doesn't help. Attach your lure. Let out 3-4 feet of line. Close the bail and spin in circles where other fishermen can see you. *someone will hopefully stop laughing long enough to show you how to cast. (The latter was response to shamelessly stolen from another board and a poster much more clever than I could ever hope to be, comedic credit goes to them)
