lil hunter Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 So I'm living in Eastern NC now and I'm lookin to get into some surf fishing. Already took one of dads rod and reel combo's for it, so I'm set on that part. Other than that, I really don't know what I'm doin. What kind of rigging do you all use? What kind of bait? We used to use live shrimp anytime they were available, but I have very little room for storage of my gear, so I'll probably just stick with frozen baits for now. Does time of day make much difference? Any other tips/advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Started surf fishing last year while on vacation. I got a 12 foot rod with a spinning reel, filled with 30 pound braided line. Using braided line requires that you use taped fingers or a casting aid. I have a Break-A-Way cannon line release. This safely holds the braided line without cutting your fingers. As far as bait, cut bait seems to work the best for me. Ill start out using cut pieces of squid until I catch a bluefish. Then the bluefish will out catch any of that squid. Start with some basic surf rigs and different weights till you find yourself holding bottom. A sand spike is required, because holding that rod is a pain, especially if you have more than one rod. I made mine. Small cooler for bait, small knife, circle hooks, different size weights, sand spikes, pliers, cutting board, and a tackle bag.
