Found this great sight about a week ago but cant find the info i need on equipment to use for the surf.My 11 year old wants to catch a good size striper so for the last 2 seasons ive been doing every thing wrong,all we catch are 12" and under schoolies.I'm looking at buying a shimanobaitrunner or penn with a 9 ft rod ffor surf fishing with 20lb line,plan on using bait depending on time of year,just wondering if im on the right track.i even went out and bought a 4cyl truck to save on gas,(i have a big v8)so i can chase these fish around for him.when should i start hitting the south coast for a 15 lber,whats good for this time of year,to early for eels?.sorry for the long post but really want him to enjoy fishing without me letting him down.thanks in advance.
