I've been saying for years I was going to go to the beach prepared to fish and never have. That's going to change this year. North Carolina has a great deal on a 10-day license for $10, so there's no reason not to! We'll be on Ocean Isle, so I have access to open ocean, tidal backwater/waterway and both the inlet/outlet of the waterway. I can catfish a little bit, but I'm far from being a fisherman. My thought was I'd get me a decent surf rod that I can also catfish with, and run my standard egg sinker with 12-16" leader and offset sport hook w/ bait like I was targeting big catfish. Maybe that's a terrible idea though, so I'm seeking advice that even a rookie can follow.
Thanks fellers!
