I was hoping for a consensus on the braided line for distance casting
because of its low stretch. Is there a site or ng that deals mostly
with surf casting?

This is a Florida site but it has great information from some hardcore
surf anglers.

Other sites I found:

http://saltfishing.about.com/od/surffishing/

http://www.geocities.com/yosemite/1133/surf.html

http://www.fishseekers.com/search/Fishing/Surf_Fishing/

Hope that helps.

BTW, I would say that the low stretch of the braided line would have
little effect on casting distance. The factors that contribute to
greater distance are the slickness of the line, low line memory, small
diameter and also lower weight. The diameter also should mean less wind
resistance.

Good Fishin'

Thanks for the sites Joe.

Quite right about braid and casting distance. But with a lot of line
out, I'm also looking for a more sensitive line [whiting and pompano].
With mono, it's like fishing with a rubberband. And from what I've
read, braid has less memory than mono.

What 'flats' do you fish?
