Which country?
I rarely surf fish any more, but have fond memories of being a kid at the OBX when you could walk for miles in either direction and rarely see another person. Cooler weather makes for the best fishin', but go seek out a local tackle/bait store, and ask 'em for advice.

The bass will be holding on the outside of the inlet waiting for the bait fish to get washed out by the tide.

The good doc offers some excellent posts above, and the last time I was at the OBX (a Labor day weekend), the above techniqe worked well...don't recall what we caught but they weren't bass
. Good luck Fred!!!
