Ocean shore fishing set up
Hey guys hopefully this is a slightly warmer topic! Haha i wanted to pick your brains on a few things for fishing the ocean from shore. (I already have a lighter set up thats a blast and a slightly heavier rapala travel 9’ set up that seems very light to me)
Im looking for a good generic set up that would let me throw and properly work a decent sized hook from shore, or even double as a makeshift surf rod if need be to as a minor side bar. I was going to buy a 10 ft heavy rod from wholesale but didnt because it only breaks down in half and i cant carry it on the plane which would be my preference.
As for the reel i picked up a fin nor 60 which is a cheaper reel meant for saltwater but it has an ipt (inches per turn) at 37” and i dont think thats fast enough to work some of the hooks i wanted to use properly.
And hooks - they are a topwater style that i have used before that bounce along the surface on the ocean but i have no idea what theyre called or where to get them. Ive used a couple different types; one that you reel super fast with, and another that you work to get some noise and splashes.
I know its a long post but any help is appreciated with any of the items if you have found a good generic outfit that you get by on. Mostly looking for jacks, barracuda, rooster fish, permit - or whatever else may be in range off of the shore mostly in mexico.
Ps happy new years boys
Thanks!
