I think plum is concerned about switching from bait to plugs.Again there is NO easy way to do this.You really have to decide before you hit the beach which method you are gonna use.I would recomend leaving the bait at home.It's just too boring waiting for the fish to come to you. I prefer going after them.You can also travel very light. Just rig your pole with a barrel swivel and 4 foot of 50# mono leader to a qaulity snap(no swivel). All you really need is 3 lures(popper,swimmer,jig). I usually bring 3 of each in different sizes in a small plug bag I carry on my shoulder.I bring some wire leaders just in case I run into some bluefish.With this setup it will be easy to move around the beach and the breachway.Stick with fishing the moving water(breachway) as the fish will be THERE most of the time.
