what do i need to go surf fishing?

[SkunkBoat]

Have't been to Assateague since 1979 but we caught a mess of blues on medium 7 ft ugly stick/penn 4500ss tossing metal like hopkins and ava17.

Also caught on bait...mullet rigs, pyramid weights.

I remember the beach to be really flat and shallow far out. Lots of green head flies.

Also, on bay side there are croaker, white perch, seatrout, drum, flounder

Here's a pic of me & my friends there in 1979....wow I'm OLD!
