I definitely feel that fishing on the beach is a great way to go. So many of the fish are
up close and personal. The surf is to me the most exciting spot to fish, especially when the
tide is moving out fast and is creating cross currents with the breakers. Many
good stripers seem to want the baitfish that are disoriented by this action. I have tried
many types of lines (floating, intermediate, sink-tip, sinking)for this type of fishing,
and I like the full sinkers (fast to very fast). The line is much easier to control in the waves and currents
and if the wind is strong, much easier to cast(smaller diameter). As far as waders... bootfoots only
too much sand and hassle with stocking foots.
