Pretty Much A Complete Beach Fishing Beginner, Pls Help

[mattycoss]

hi all

am looking at expanding my repertoire from estuaries to surf fishing and as a result feel like a bit of a beginner again

am basically wondering what kind of equipment i need to get started - at the moment i have a 7ft 2 piece rod but im guessing it wouldnt really be sufficient for the surf conditions and am basically asking for any pointers possible at all please, as think itd be a great way to spend some time this summer

thanks and hope to hear from some of you soon

you need 3 rods and 2 alvyes and a spare spool

1'rod for bream and flattys[10 to 15 lb line mono]

2'rod for tailor, salmon, kings [15kg mono line]

3"rod for jew and sharks[30kg mono] on the spare spool

ii'v surgested alvyes as they cast a long way and are easy to use and very easy to maintian and if you drop in the sand you can just wash it out in the surf

i have 3 rods that need a little work]new eyes] there all 3 meter one peace rods you can have for zip

ive got a crystal tip silstar ,12ft long .$120 senstive enough to feel whiting and bream nibleing but strong enough to handle jews and sharks . i love it .

my reel is a okuma av80 spooled with 12lb and 3o lbasit came with 2 spools its a great reel as well although i did drop it in the sand once and that was the end of that session as the reel filled with sand ...

although i cant get use to the alveys .though i would like a very lite beach outfit with an alvey .

goodluck

Note: tell someone where you are going and do not throw out near the surfers.

its alot of fun on some of the most beautiful coastal beaches on the planet.
