Thread: Coming down fishing with father in law and two daughters in june

I am coming down June 9 through the 13 I want to carry my father in law and daughters fishing. I was wanting to fish pier surf and little lagoon. Can anyone tell me what gear I need to bring what bait ( live and artificial) and what we may catch please from one or all three areas. Thank you in advance Joe

Hire Pier#er (YOUR pier, shore and jetty guide...

+1 on what he said, will learn all you need, I have the pleasure of working with them both in a few weeks, cant wait

Bass level tackle is sufficient for all but the feature pier gamefish (cobia, king mackeral). Longer rods cast better if you hit the surf, but the fish are often right at your feet in the first deeper trough. Spinning tackle is most common. Simple nylon jigs are good, and bait rigs with a 2-3 oz sinker and size 2-4 hooks are sufficient. You will not regret a trip to J&M just to see what is in common use, and to pick up a few things. Watching others on the pier who are being successful is good too.
