Don't give up. There are things you can do to improve your distance if you truly believe that the fish are out of your range. Getting a stripping basket to hold your running line can add to your reach. If you are using a standard weight forward line, consider a shooting head line. My personal favorite is an Airflo 40+ and from my Puget Sound area beaches I use both a floater and an intermediate. There are other options of shooting head lines like the Rio Outbound, Outbound short and the Wulff Ambush. I have used them all and prefer the Airflo, but the Ambush is growing on me fast. These lines have their weight concentrated in a very short forward section and then tapers quickly down to a fine running line. I like all the heads but the ridge running lines on the Airflo have been most effective for me. A stripping basket and shooting head line will add distance with practice. Improved casting, stripping basket and shooting head might make you reach 20+ feet further. Another option that I started from the beach two summers ago was going to a switch rod. I now fish from the beach with a 11' switch rod using a two handed overhead casting stroke and can really put line out there...and I'm a horrible caster. I can not cast as far as the best buzz bomb and spinner slingers, but I can outcast many of them with my switch rod, shooting line and fly. Best of luck.
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.
