I'm plotting out a trip to Rehoboth Beach/Ocean City this summer with a friend of mine who is also outdoors-inclined. We both love to fish freshwater around here, but neither one of us has done much SW fishing.
I am hoping to get up to Assateague SP and the National sea shore for a day or two. We've been looking at activities to engage in during the day besides just "laying on the beach" and I have always thought surf fishing would be interesting to try. Her opinion is that people very rarely catch anything surf fishing and it looks to be tremendously boring.
Can anyone who does/ has done some surf fishing chime in? It is not something I would be doing often, so I don't want to spend a ton of money to get a rod/reel and equipment, but Walmart had some rods that were about $50 or so. What else do you need as far as equipment goes? Is it worth trying for half a day? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
