Ah dang...Can't help you there. I'm pretty good with fly fishing in mountain creeks. Don't know diddly squat about using lures in lakes, big rivers, or estuaries. I did do some surf fishing once, using a walmart casting rod and some sand fleas we caught on the beach. Caught two whiting. That is the extent of my expertise! Good luck.
You should try getting into lures!! They're super fun to use!
Thanks for you're honesty!
I want to get into fly fishing as well someday. It looks sooo cool and relaxing as well
