Default baitcaster question

I got my new baitcaster setup and took it out on the water. I tried to make my first cast with it and I could only cast about 5 foot. I have a BPS 7.0 foot extreme rod and bps baitcaster. My reel is set to 10 on brakes (max) and my drag is all the way tight almost. My dial is barely letting my bait fall on the line. I thought I set everything up. All I'm getting is backlashes and 5 foot casts from it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to baitcasters so I need help. Do I cast overhand or am I suppose to side arm a baitcaster? I'm used to spinning reels.
