I am relatively new to the whole surfcasting world; just finished what I would qualify as my second full year where I dedicated time and attention to the sport. Heck 3 years ago while on vacation at block for a week, I was fishing at night w/o waders, corkers, or a even a plug bag for that matter. I am kind of thankful for some of the resources that are available to me; some books, some fishing related forums and my fishing club in particular. Those resources really helped me get started.
At first I fell into the habit of buying tons of plugs I didn't know how to use, in tons of color variations. I also bought some rods and reels i don't use or need, but I hope my nieces and nephew will get use out of them. Through trial and error I think I have kind of figured out what I think works best for me (at the moment) and what I feel confident in using. I hope I have gotten past the point of needing to have XXXXXX lure and YYYYYY accessory; and will try to focus on what works for me and continue to learn from my few successes and many failures in the surf.

DZ, thanks for that SW point information, I finally got to fish it this past year, except I was there on the flood tide. Making a mental note on that one.
