Beach Fishing Question

[MathGeek]

We can cast about 75 yards with our 8 ft spinning rods and we catch a few bull reds. We can cast over 100 yards with our 12 ft spinning rods, and we catch most of our bull reds on these. It seems more of an even split in calmer conditions, and further is better when there's a bit of wave action. Cracked crab is our favorite bait for bull reds, but we catch a lot on cut mullet also. I will go out of my way to try and have crab for bait.

Availability of other stuff depends on season and condition. The bulls are always there.
