Planning PINS trip (very newbish question) - 08/04/14 03:11 AM
First of all, I'm not a great fisherman, I just like to throw a line in and have a beer and see what happens. It's actually been a while since I've fished. My wife and I are talking about heading to PINS in a few weeks, I was thinking I would take a rod and see if I can maybe land us some dinner.
Anyway, I just wanted to see if what I've got will work in the surf. I'm currently using a Cabela's Fish Eagle II CX2, 7'6" one piece (line weight 10-30lbs and lure weigh 3/8-2), and a Quantum Accurist PTs reel.
Will this setup handle the surf? I'm sure the reel would be ok, it's made for saltwater, will my rod be ok? If it seems ok, how would you fish the surf (lures/bait, top water/weighted)?
Sorry for the super basic questions, but I appreciate any help (I can use all I can get)!
