Nancy Behrman has been all over the world and has visited countless beaches over the years, and in every location during every season there has always been a great deal of evidence of the worldwide popularity of surfcasting. Obviously, fishing is an appealing sport for a variety of reasons, which is why so many people have engaged in some kind of fishing at some point in their lives. While this is undeniably true, Nancy Behrman believes that surfcasting has a special kind of appeal due to several unique aspects that are different from other types of fishing.
While there are surely those who would argue over whether a day out on a boat — whether it is on a lake, river or ocean — is more relaxing, Behrman points out that the ease and accessibility of a stretch of beachfront makes surfcasting a particularly relaxing pursuit. This is especially true when one considers that it is possible to accommodate an endless number of people on the beach while most boats limit the potential for a massive social gathering to take place while fishing, a benefit frequently realized when a prized catch is made and can be immediately shown off for all on the beach to see.
Of course, others prefer a bit of solitude while fishing, which can also be easily accomplished by heading to a secluded spot of sand or simply heading out at sunrise or sunset for surfcasting. In any case, it is clear that surfcasting possesses a unique appeal and is a pursuit that everyone can enjoy on a regular basis wherever they may happen to be.
