Re: Emerald Isle NC Suggestions
A bay rod is fine down there. There are plenty of small fish in the surf, including spot, croaker, kingfish (our kingfish, NOT king mackerel) baby black drum, redfish and and and...
I've always used a simple hi-lo rig with size 4 snelled hooks and enough lead to hold, usually 2oz. or less.
When you stop at the tackle shop to buy your license, pick up a pack of "Fish Bites" bloodworm strips. They are tough, and stay on the hook forever. You only need a 2" piece on each hook.
Good Luck!
