Boy did this thread get hijacked!  Which way did it go?
The answer to the first question is, another question, when did the first fish get caught from the salt? |

For all purposes, surfcasting became popular in the Northeast with the opening of the Cuttyhunk Striped Bass Club in 1864.
A bunch of wealthy men from Boston, New York and Philadelphia pooled their money and bought the island and turned it into a striped bass mecca for anglers.
They built these huge piers that went way out into the water and hired the local kids to get them lobsters at 25 cents per bushel.
The anglers would break off the lobster tails and impale them on a hook and toss them out into the water while the kids would ladle out chum for the anglers.
They caught a monstrous amount of 50-60 pound fish over the years but by 1921, the club had shut down.
The trophy fish were gone.
I have documentation from the late 1600's, about men "surfcasting"
using hand lines with a tin on the end of their line or a hand carved lure on the end of the liine as well.
It sems that the men would coil a good length of line at their feet and then start to swing the line around like a cowboy getting ready to lasso a steer.
When they developed enough energy, they would let it fly and then retrieve it hand over hand.
The fishing was better then.
A bit of striped bass trivia if I may. . .
In 1735, the town of Marshfield Massachusetts passed a law banning the netting of striped bass in the winter. Our founding fathers noticed a drastic decline in the striper population back then.
Moogie.
