Re: Surf Fishing Help Needed
I started fishing the surf more around 2 years ago and it's definitely the most rewarding, but also the most humbling. I have a Tsunami Shield i got for around 100 bucks that has served me well, no issues with it after a year and change with it. That being said, I got back into it using my dad's ancient fiberglass garcia surf rod with a big freshwater reel on it, so it's less about the equipment and more about putting the time in to finding spots and learning the beaches.
While I know braid is superior for feeling bites and hooksets, I have had issues with it tangling and on the beach at nighttime that can be very frustrating, so I usually throw on 20lb mono with a leader so I'm not wasting time fooling with my line.
Echoing what Andy said, nighttime or first light in the fall is the move for bass. I just moved further from the shore so my trips just got longer but I'm hoping to head down that way for some nighttime fishing soon.
