BTW I think he meany ounces not pounds because I don't want to see the place I need 4lb of weight to hold a bait in place.

 

just remember, any day spent fishing is a day well spent

 

It is also a good idea to surf fish when it is cloudy and after storms. Fish love mud, helps em hide from predators and ambush other fish. Also if you can't quite cast beyond the breakers, try casting in between the breaks. The fish are more likely to be there since the water is deeper (holes) causing break gap. Try squid if you are going for shark and try shrimp for other large fish. Casting and reeling silver spinners works too, but only at feeding time (early morn and early evening. Post again and let us know how you are doing with it. Best of luck dude!
