A bunch of questions...
Hi folks. Here are some questions that are pretty vague, but I am trying to refine my thought processes as it pertains to how I surf-fish and what I decide to use for the day, other than just because I feel like it. For years, I've used spinning gear for everything from jetties to Montauk, to quiet inlets and back ponds to piers, etc. This year I ventured forth with conventional plugging and 8nbait set ups, as well as fly. I don't get to fish much, so I want to maximize my time, enjoy it and catch fish. I suppose I don;t really need a conventional plugging set up and spinning set up, esp. if they are both rated for the same lure weight range.
Okay, here goes:
When wouldn't you use a conventional plugging set up? Heavy surf, wet conditions, etc. (My thoughts are from jetties, or when the reels can't get too wet, bait from beach, eels and jigs, heavy plugs)?
When wouldn't you use a fly set up (My thought are heavy onshore wind, really tall jetties)?
If it helps, the set ups I have are: 10' St. Croix B. Doerr spin w/ 706 & 50#PP rated 1-3 oz, 8'6" Star rod composite spin & 710 w/ 30# PP, guess 1-3 oz too, 9' Lami Triflex convench w. Abu 6600 C5 Mag-X w/ 50# PP rated 1-3 oz, a 10' Tica convench w/ Squidder Jr w/ 50# PP rated 2-8 oz, and a St. Croix Avid 9wt fly rod w/ Okuma integrity reel and intermdeiate and fast sinking lines.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks and tight lines.
