Ron Arra is a 5-time United States Distance surfcasting Champion, professional surfcasting and fly casting instructor, author of 2 best selling books on surf casting, former professional athlete, and world-renowned angler. Fish with Ron, and by the end of the day, you'll see remarkable improvement in how far and accurately you can cast (with less effort). A guided fishing trip with Ron is whole lot more than just catching fish, although he'll always put you in a great position to do so. You'll also be able to take the instructions he gives you during your surf casting or saltwater fly fishing lesson and become a batter angler. Increased casting distance can help you reach more Stripers sitting in just the right spot. Ron has a background in education, so his goal every time he gives a casting lesson is to help you learn how to catch more fish by casting farther and reading the water. You'll be able to apply this knowledge from Ron's lessons for the rest of your live, every time you fish. Depending on the tide and conditions, Ron will take you to one of his favorite fishing holes on a beautiful, pristine Cape Cod beach. Your start time may also vary based on the tides. Striped Bass can be caught off the rocks or in the surf. Seasonally, there are other species in those waters, such as Bluefish, Bonito, and Black Sea Bass. However, Striped Bass rank as the leading coastal salt water fishing target in MA and along the Northeast coast.
