I have best luck with a wounded live fish for bait. Like a 12-18" blue, or Mack.

When you say you have not been able to get the bait out that far, how far are you getting it? How many yards out more or less?

I usually look to place the bait on the back side of the gut. No matter weather it's 100 or 500yds out, we look for the deeper water. Or we'll try to place the bait near structure.

Freshsaltfisher,

You need to try and get the bait past the sand bar. I know up north you can even catch some nice Sharks between the wash and the sand bar ( the first gut ), but I would try and get the bait past the sand bar. Also, keep using those Cuda's man, that's my favorite bait. Very few times have I put out a FRESH Cuda and not got hit. Good luck.

You need to catch a fresh live fish, and have him swim out past the surf for you. You can float the bait out with a balloon, if the wind and tide are right. Big balloon if the wind is right. It'll push it out in no time.
