SUBJECT: # 9313: Surf fishing Outer Banks, NC
Submitted by Bob Stine from AL on 10/19/2007 11:25:00 PM
Going over to visit Sister in Duck NC and thought I would try to surf fish a little. Any suggestions about bait and terminal gear? I bought a Shimano 400 Calcutta and put 30lb. braid ,300yds,on it and was going to buy a casting rod but now I'm wondering if a baitcaster is a good idea for surf fishing. I have an old but unused Mitchell 307 reel nd 81/2 foot Lews Speed Stick that I'm also taking. It has 20lb Mono in it. I won't surf cast again so I was planning on moderately priced rod. Any suggestions? Should I go with the bait cater or the spinning reel? ANY responce would help!

Gerry, BFHP from VA says Sorry for late response.
For October the spinning rod will probably work most of the time. The Calcutta 400 is a great surf reel and if you like using it an inexpensive rod might just be the ticket to let you handle bigger weights then the spinning rod.Gerry is the creator and editor of the Bass Fishing Home Page.
He frequently fishs the Virginia's Occoquan Resevoir and Potomac River.
