Daytona Beach - saltwater questions
I have a friend who is taking his family to Daytona Beach in a couple weeks. Although his is an avid crappie, bass, and trout fisherman, neither he nor I know anything about saltwater fishing . He plans to divide his time between fishing from the pier and fishing from the beach. He'll be fishing from the Mainstreet Pier if anyone has heard of it.
My questions are:
1 - What pound line is suitable for fishing these situations? Braid or mono?
2 - What type of fish can he expect to catch? What should he plan for?
3 - Should he use a metal leader on the line (I imagine most saltwater fish have teeth)?
4 - What type of bait should be used (shrimp, squid, etc.)?
5 - Is there any special/additional equipment other than a pole, glove, tackle box, bait, pliers he should take along?
I appreciate any advice or suggestions you guys have.
