I'm spending a couple days in Point Pleasant this weekend, and was toying with the idea of trying to fish the surf. Trouble is, I know NOTHING about it, lol. I do a little bass fishing in my lake, and actually catch some sometimes. My $20 rod and reel are ruined (I think, the reel doesn't spin freely any more) from sitting in my truck utility box over the winter. So, I will be getting a new reel at least for fishing the lake here anyway. My questions:
1. Can I buy a rod/reel combo that will be suitable for the lake and the surf? I'd like to keep the rod @ 6' or under.
2. What would I need for surf in the way of line (what lb. test), weights, hooks, bait (clams?) etc.
3. Is Point Pleasant a decent spot to fish?
4. Would I be able to catch anything edible?
Thanks for any input; it's obvious from the pics that many of you know what you are doing. [up]
