im a regular michigan freshwater fisherman. but currently working in virginia. im so wanting to hit virginia beach to surf fish and chesapeake bay pier fish. dont know much about surf fishing and what tackle to use to be successful on the beach and pier. other than i have a heavy duty spin reel with what seems to be 20lb braid and thirty lb mono. its attached to a 8' daiwa beefstick that can hurl 4ozs. its a rod set up i got at a local pawn shop. i also have a 9' fly rod with a alvey sidecaster that has no line on it yet that i brought from home. i use it for float fishing. i know, i know, i need to get a center pin. its just to expensive for me right now but i will own one.only by Gods grace. anyways what do i need to use for bait and style of rigging. any special areas with special techniques etc... im looking through the forum but it would be nice to get some personal feedback from the regular native fishermens. special note. you come to Michigan you let me know. ill help yall out.
