Newbie to Surf Fishing - Need Advice - 04/25/21 09:12 PM
I'm usually a bass fisherman. My wife and I tried some surf fishing this weekend and we would like to get a little more serious about it. We were fishing along Padre Island National Seashore about 15 miles south of where the road ends.
We were using some 7'6" rods, 30lb braid, and 2 oz weights. I would wade out a little and cast probably 60-70 yards out.
All we caught were some Whitings.
I prefer bait casting tackle to spinning tackle. We are not species specific - pretty much what ever will bite and put up a good fight.
Any recommendations for rods/reels and terminal tackle would be appreciated. I assume just about anything works for bait?
Is night fishing better than day fishing?
