I would say with different equipment you could 70 yards or so with 3 ounces of weight and a chunk of bait that isn't too big. I have the same rod as you, i bought it last year for bait fishing figuring it would give me better distance than the 10' rod i have been using for the bait the last few years. I was mistaken, the ugly stick has too much flex to get it out there with my casting style. I usually use 4-6 ounces of weight and a decent sized chunk of bait, either a 1/4 of a scup or bunker or whole squid. I get it to wear the fish are but don't fish areas like what you described. Usually the areas i chunk are closer to deeper water. You may want to try putting braided line on your reel it will help with the casting distance a bit. Go with 40 or 50 lb braid.
