So, friday night I picked up another surf rod, to use along with my 10' rod, but I got an 8' rod, to be used for surf fishing, as well as catfishing.... And I picked up some components to make various rigs to try...
Friday night at on the bay wasn't a full bust. I got my first fish via surf fishing, but it was a small white perch. Didn't seem like many people were catching anything anyway.
So yesterday, I went out around 10 AM and was a total success. I got my first croaker and my first striped bass from the surf. It was awesome.
I'm using a striped bass rig, that has a float by the hook to keep it from dragging the bottom and a 3 oz. weight. Works great and I haven't had any problems with snags.
So, once again, I appreciate all the help. Surf fishing is definitely something I like to do and now that I've found various rigs that work for me, as well as bait that I like to use now, I'm extremely happy with the results and can't wait to get out there again next weekend!
