I recomend starting in a pond with no trees. I learned by the saying "act like you are painting a ceiling." All the movement should come from the shoulder movement not the wrist. Also, moving the bait faster when casting doesnt make the cast further. The fluent movements do.

OP, You need a 9' 5 or 6 weight for what you're fishing for.

I would only fish a 7 wt in salt water (tarpon, bonefish)

Also, work on getting the double haul cast down. You can cast so much further and better once you figure it out. Here's a video, And s lot more videos on helpful tips over to the side.
