Hey members new here and thought I’d post a question about a surf fishing rig. I don’t get out as much as I use to and possibly a few times a year a best. My best choice (local) to buy gear is either Sports Authority or Walmart. I have purchased a few Ugly Stiks for freshwater past from there and been very happy so far. So now I want to buy a surf fishing rig and was wondering what size rig/ combo would you can recommend? I will be fishing from the NC shoreline in October. If you could also give me some info on what type of rig and bait to you, that would be excellent. First time ever surf fishing. I am accustomed to spinning reels. Interested in catching Blue fish/stripers/weakfish.
Tight lines,
Gary

A good ladies rod reel setup? I am in the market to purchase a fishing rod & reel new or used, I need some help. I am starting out and want to get my own fishing equipment because this summer I used friends and family and I got to like fishing a lot. I have no idea where to start or what to buy! I am smaller then average woman, only 5 feet tall. I shore fish ocean, rivers, and lakes. My budget is around a $100 for both rod and reel being new and all to fishing I want to practice and learn on used or cheaper fishing gear before I go out and spend a lot of money of good quality gear. This does not mean I want to buy cheap fishing gear that does not last. As mentioned, I am a beginner when it comes to fishing but I do have some experience. I will be fishing for catfish, redfish, black drum, trout, ect. I am fishing in the Houston area. I would like a rod/reel big enough to handle a 20-30 lbs line. Is the Ugly stick my best bet?

Hey all thought I’d check in and ask a good method for shore fishing catfish and possibly a dock? I normally fish for catfish off a boat and now I’ll be heading out doing some camping and needed to know what gear/method/rig would best work fishing from the shore.
Thanks all, Jackie

Hello all! I need some tips surf fishing rod/reel setup? I am heading down to Baja (Cortez side) with friends and I don’t want to spend much money on a fishing gear set up. My trip is just to be able to fish while I am chilling on the beach. Also what kind of bait would you use in Baja during the summer months? Plus what time of day is the best to fish?
Thanks
Jason

Hi guys/gals. It looks like I’ll be heading out on Sunday to do a little surf fishing on Padre Island Texas. I’ll be leaving with friends and we got our surf rods, licenses, beer, and all the tackle minus hooks and weights. Any bait recommendations for this time of year and are most beaches shore fishing friendly?

Hello all! Got a question for your Surf/Shore fishermen. I started to fish the coast and my line get torn up on the rocks and tangled a lot due to the sand constant sand friction. So if you could I am looking for some advice on the type or brand name of line to use on my reel that won’t snag, tangle, or break easily and one I can make good leader lines out of?
Regards,
TexasFishnman!

Newbie fishing rod question. Yes, another new fisherman here and I did hit the search function first!
Anyways, does it really matter what rod you use because I went to buy a new rod the other day and the salesman mentioned that the rod I was holding was offshore fishing. So it got me wondering that most sites that sell fishing equipment rarely explain in detail the function, purpose, or use of the products they sell. As for me at least it’s much cheaper to buy online then to drive 40 miles to the closest sporting good store.
Anyway, I was looking for shore fishing equipment to use also for fishing piers and to surf fishing off the beach.
Thanks -Todd

I’ll be heading down to Costa Rica in late September for 12-15 days with some family friends and we are in our late 20’s and looking to do some off-shore fishing, hike, maybe some basic surfing, relaxing on the beach and do some laid back resting. So looking for some Costa Rica fishing spots to hit. Any suggestions from previous experiences? Oh and as always cheap, basic accommodations are essential.
Thanks in Advance.

Good morning all:
Me and some friends have been hitting the shore fishing hard and doing well and landed more then a few very nice Bluefish. Most of everything we catch was released other then the lady fish which we use for chum/shark bait. So my question is what is the best way to Clean/Cook a bluefish? Anyone here ever cook BlueFish?

A long time bass angler going to Florida and want to do some shore fishing and want to pick up a good saltwater fishing rod/reel combo under $50.00 with 15-25lbs line test? I’ll be fishing off piers/shore outside of Tampa Florida. Its my first time saltwater fishing, so if you have any bait and gear advice it sure would help.
