You will probably need a saltwater reel (like for example Everol), a saltwater rod (like for example G. Loomis pro-Blue saltwater rods), saltwater fishing lures (like butterfly jigs or shrimps) or saltwater combos (like for example Alltackle's) and depending on the weather you might also want to take into considering special clothing (like if it rains).

i just got back from my trip and i only got to salt water fish one time. from the pier i was going to go on a fish trip 15 mile's out but it got canceled because of five foot waves but i did get ten sand shark's and six skate's and one crazy clam thing from the pier which was cool with me my PC is down right now and i am using my old one so i will post pic's as soon as i can

Oh, that would be great 351mustang65. I am looking forward to that.

It sounds like you had a good time

Hmmm I think that maybe they were too large?
Only up to max. 500 pixels this forum can take.
If you can be so kind you can resize them on line,
for example here:

well its jpeg 12.52kb 100 pixels width and 200 pixels height and i still cant post it

that is soooo weird


What happens when you click "submit"? Can you forward to me the url (address bar) that you are getting then? (just copy/paste it)
