Thread: Wanting to get into Surfcasting

Hey guys,

Hunting is my main passion but I am finding less and less time to get out due to work and having 3 young children. So was thinking about getting into surfcasting, easier to get out once the kids are in bed for a few hours and relax.

I have been reading the previous threads on this site on the topic, along with watching videos. Like everything these days a huge amount of information and opinion.

My question is what are the basics I need to increase my chances of being successful? What is the best way to set up a rod? I live in Invercargill and aim to fish around Oreti and Bluff. Complete newbie here. I haven't purchased anything to date, but have been looking at packages at hunting and fishing.

Looking for any advice.

Cheers.
