Even though I consider myself a country boy at heart, I have never really been much of a hunter/ fisherman. I always kept my life pretty full of projects, and thought it sort of a silly waste of time.
Heading down to the outer banks in 3 weeks, and last year, for the first time, I borrowed some equipment, bought a license, and did a little surf fishing. I found that I really enjoyed it, it made for a nice relaxing vacation activity.
However, I know zero about fishing. Short of plunking some blue gill out of the local ponds when I was a boy, I am a total newbie.
Got any good advice for me? Like what kind of bait?, bobber and or sinker? what depth to set your hook, lures? Any and all advice welcome, thanks.
