I posted about Plum Island already, and no one replied

I'm sorry, but like I said. I'm new to saltwater fishing, and I
really could use any tips/tricks of the trade. Plus I asked about
Plum Island,MA because it's near me. I see a lot of people fishing
that area, but they don't talk much. <shrugs>
I got a Quatum 8' pole with a Quatum XR7 reel.
It was a low costing starting kit, but hey I need
to start somewhere, right? What would be good
bait to use in this time of the year? Will stripers be
around? Blues? What other kind of fish will be in
my area? Thanks for taking the time to read, and
hopefully help out a newbie to this awesome world
of saltwater fishing.
Happy <><ing everyone
