I hear that S&S! I just got back into fishing, over 15-20 years off, and this is the first time I hit the surf / salt. Kinda' wish I hadn't dropped that $300 on a new fresh water rod & reel before hittin' the beach! Sure looks good with all that dust on it.
In any event, I have an ok 8' rod and spinning reel, a few lures and a very, very little bit of knowledge. I plan on gearing up as well AND reading up - searching on old messages here and some new books! Oh... and waders!!!
Good luck w/ your purchases and maybe we'll share a stretch of beach in the spring.
