How do you get a popper out 80+ yards from shore?

The real truth on distance casting from shore.....need a sand spike..... buy a kayak if U do not already have one....put reel on freespool...paddle out the distance U would like to drop your line...paddle back and fish.....

Kayak line launching sucks when fishing a popper though

True, but it will at least not result in your reel getting spooled as you paddle back in, if a fish eats the bait before you get back and set up the rod in the spike.
