Identity Verified
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.

Mike Basnite finally got a permit from the beach. I admire his determination by spending 200 plus hours on the beach to catch permit. 🙂 He uses 12' Ron Arra Pro Special 3-10 oz spinning rod by JS USA
Just had an incredible surf fishing adventure today! The thrill of casting my line into the crashing waves and reeling in some big catches made for an unforgettable day by the ocean.
During a surf casting lesson, a first Striped Bass was caught using Penn Ultra Light Tackle in the early morning hours on Cape Cod Bay. Fish with us and be hooked for life!

Best Surfcasting Lesson Ever! Hi Ron. Thanks for a great day of casting. Cant believe you held the attention of a 10 year old for so long we appreciate the time you took to let the little guy learn not only how to cast and work different lures but the fly casting bonus, as well! He learned so much. Thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime. The McLanes

We caught lots of stripers and can't wait to fish Ron him again soon to get us some real lunkers. Ron is a great guy with lots of fun stories and teaching advise. If you want to fish some of the best-kept secrets on the Cape, look him up!

Ron is a great instructor! I learned so much in a short period of time. In addition to surfcasting, he also showed me how to catch quahogs! I had a great time.

What can I say? This was exactly what I expected as well as wanted from a guide /instructor experience. Ron is not only a 5 time world champion. He is also a proud father, husband and a man of nature. Completely aware of everything around him under the blue skies of earth. I will also add he is a good son of his parents he spoke so fondly of. The nuance of his lesson during our time is what made the difference for me. Yes, there are the big technical things he will help you with. But the small tips , hand positioning or the slight rotation of your hips required you to put away the phone, To not look at the watch and simply pay attention. The time will go by quicker than you think. I can not stress enough regardless of your experience level in surf fishing and overall casting… at some point in time, a session with Ron is in my belief a requirement. Tight lines . Ron , thank you. Joe Pereira

I booked with Ron not having any experience with surf casting or ocean fishing. I grew up fly fishing for trout and have avoided surf fishing for the 3 years I've lived in Massachusetts because I never had any idea how to start. From the beginning, Ron set great expectations for what to expect - I learned how to cast further with less effort and how to read the water. While this trip is not about catching a fish (the casting lessons and fishing advice are more than enough), I was lucky enough to catch my first striper! I left my lesson feeling so much more confident about fishing in the surf, how to read water, and gear recommendations. Thank you Ron!
