Hi everyone,
remo_5_0 - sorry I use your post to ask a few questions my self but it turns out that I am from Costa Rica and currently got back from Ocotal Beach on a short vacation.... I went fishing but most I did was trow a line with dead bait into the ocean and got lucky a couple of times... nothing big but it was fun.
So I decided to get into fishing more seriously because it is something I have always wanted to do and living here in Costa Rica .. well, you all know!!
I need help, basically all I have is a Quatum XR4 reel I bought a few years ago but never used ...so is brand new. I want to try surf fishing and of course need to get me gear first... so, what would anyone recommend? Rod? is my reel (Quatum XR4) good for surf fishing? What about bait? Live, dead or artificial??
Anyways, any advise will be greatly appreciated... I dont know a good fishing store here as to go for advise and buy the gear, but I will be flying to New York City this weekend and want to get everything there ... I will be in Manhattan so if anyone can point me into the right place it would be nice too....
