OBX Surf Fishing

[g7evans]

Hello All,

I am new to the world of surf fishing. I have fished fresh water the majority of my life. I visit the OBX 2-3 times per year and would like to learn how to surf fish. I have some old 10-11ft rods with bigger reels on them that seem to be in good shape. I will be staying in the Corolla/Duck area in July. Any advice on rigs, bait, or anything? Thanks

The rods are of good size, just make sure you have fresh line on the reels and they are cleaned & lubed.
You can use the standard fish finder rig that most use.
Stick a Bunker head or body chunk on an 8/0 - 15/0 circle hook.
Don't forget about sand spikes.....
Lots of threads on here about rigging, I won't duplicate them.

Most of all....
ENJOY!!!!
And welcome to the board!
