Depends on the beach - if you were fishing Whitley Bay you'd be casting over the fish at 90 yards! 30-40 yards is about all you need there. Similarly at Blyth you'll often catch fish almost at your feet; so many times I've seen lads blow there reels up and dump their baits no more than 20 or 30 yards, then when they've unpicked the birdie they find a fish has taken their bait. Mind you there are also beaches where the further you can chuck, the better your chances - it really depends on the location & lie of the beach.

[Mad as a fish]

Fish two rods one long cast one short cast to find where the fish are feeding, if you have two that is.

25yds on the colliery beaches is often more than enough matey

fished seaton sluice beach a couple of years ago on the nesa north vs south comp and a old lad up the beach was pulling fish in like a trawler and we were blanking so walked over and asked how he was getting so many he says "cast as far as you can " me and my mate were blasting them out and blanked , was only at the end of the night we noticed the old sod was only side casting about 25 yards ha ha
