I am going to be in the outer banks the week after Labor Day, and was hoping to do some fishing from shore while I am down there. As all my fishing has always been in freshwater, I don't have any gear that is usable for the ocean. I was hoping someone around here might be able to point me in the right direction in terms of gear and tackle. I wanted to pick up two rod/reel combos, and then I wanted to know what suggestions everyone would have for tackle.
I have only fished fresh water before, and I am not looking to live off my catches, I just want to have some fun down there, but I have no experience with this kind of thing. So for gear just tell me things I should be looking for (rod lenths, reel types, capacities, etc.) Also I don't really know what I will be fishing for yet ( I will research all of that later) but if anyone has experience with that area, and wants to tell me what baits to use all input would be appreciated.
Thanks
