I'm headed to the beach this weekend and I'm thinking about taking a rod with me to fish off the shore. Any suggestions on where to fish and what type of bait and tackle to use would be great.

fish the piers.....its a happening place out there now! bring a bucket, cast net, airrator, 20 lb leader, plenty of trebles and catch up the spanish....they are hitting hard now.

Hey Pete, do you fish off the bottom, with a cork, or one of those kite looking rigs???

Got any tips on how to rig for them and what kind of bait to use? May head out to a pier this weekend. Do you know which one they're doing the best off of?

just light line for em.....tie 20 lb test straight to your mono, and a #6 trebel with the mullet hooked thru the back.

springmaid pier i hear is doing ok, but right now it doesnt matter.....as of the last few days looks like the kings have hit the beach too

no kites....just an anchor rod and a fighting rod
