Good idea for a new topic area!
I did a little over summer vacation...

This should be a great area. Thanks Tom.

It certainly can be peacefull fishing the surf!

Great....now a place to split the inshore posts
Did alot of surf fishing and wading this year, just didn't get alot of pics.....I'll have to change that for '08

Another very good idea, Tom - this site is getting better every year!

Hey, now we're talkin'. You surf fishers out there, let us former North Carolinians hear from you. What works for you on the beaches here? I know it's far different from the Outer Banks.

Love that avatar B man

You asked what works here? On the gulf side, I have better luck with small circle hooks and small peices of shrimp. The fish run on the smaller side on the gulf beaches than the Atlantic. My favorite rig is a hi low rig with a 3 ounce sputnik on bottom. You can get by with a smaller weight most of the time if you are fishing close.

Thanks, Seachaser. I've tended to scale back a little on weight, too, because the surf is usually not so strong here. I'll have to look for some of the smaller Sputniks.
