Surf Fishing

Here are some tips for surf fishing referencing other posts on this website.

Typically you want a tall pole with a reel that matches the fish you are after. Typically I use a 10 to 12' pole that is not big and heavy but made to throw 1 to 6 oz weights with a 4000 level reel loaded with 20lb test braid. I like a bright line so that it is easy for me to see.  I use a PVC sand spike to hold my rod because I like to have several out at a time with different baits and different distances from the shore. I tend to use the dropper rig with a pyramid sinker. When the current is very strong, I will switch to a sputnik style singer. Typical bait is fresh dead shrimp and fish bites of various flavors.
