Basics for Surf Fishing

Quote from Dunk3376

I am planning on going out on the beach and doing some fishing, which I have not done in the past, only fresh water fishing. I noticed under FAQ's there was a basic list of supplies, and equipment for trail rides. If possible could somebody or a few of the experenced members post something similar. It would be nice to have a solid basic setup to start with. Thanks

Also, a "Sand spike" to hold your rod, bait board & knife (or just do like Billy does below).

And the equipment required by DNREC to drive on the beach.

In order to drive on you'll get the surf fishing tag, fishing pole, bait, tackle box, a sand spike helps immensely, a jack, a board of wood, an air pressure gauge for your tires, and the receipt when you bought the tag.

EDIT: I am pretty sure an FIN and tow strap are required too.

And shovel.

And those are just the basic fishing things.

Things to add to the whole beach experience is a separate discussion altogether.

Cold drinks of course, a grill to cook food on, a toilet tent and potty for the ladies, games for the kids.

And of course if you can find one of these for your Jeep it will give you something to do while not catching any fish:
