Josh, you crack me up. I think you should become the equipment moderator for the board. I'm gonna have to run some of my new purchases by you.

Josh, where have you been seeing those CD reels for cheap? I was looking at getting one, but i thought it was a little out of my price range. By the way, do you know anything about fishing the outer banks or beaches in general, specifically for sharks and possibly for reds, trout, and weaks. You seem to be pretty proficient in the surf. This is not limited to fly tackle because i'm looking to get a heavy 10-12' surf rod specifically for sharks.
Mike, I haven't caught a striper on a fly yet, but i hope to within the next week or so. I fish off of a pontoon boat.

DC, sent you a PM on the reel.
Theres alot of different aspects involved with surf fishing whether it be with traditional gear or on the fly. The first thing you have to learn to do is read a beach. Whether your chunking bait, plugs, or flies you have to be able to find the fish. I like to think of an open ocean beach as a desert with the occassional oasis. Look for holes, bars, sloughs, and other forms of structure. This is where you will find the concentrations of bait that draw in predators. Once you find the structure its just a matter of figuring out what they want to eat.
If you've got some location specific questions, shoot them to me and I'll do my best to answer. I don't have a whole lot of experiences with sharks from the beach, but I chase reds and trout along with spanish mackerel and bluefish with regularity.

DC, Please let me know if you hear of any schooling reports. I will do the same. You are welcome to try out the TFO rods if you like. I live near Putnam's Landing. I fish out of a pontoon and flats boat. Thanks, Mike

I think so. Are you referring to the one near Wessinger Island? I have caught a lot of stripers off of that point.

I know where you are talking about. I am going out this afternoon and look for schooling. If you see a yellow Action Craft, ride over and say hello. Mike
