Have never been surf fishing. Priority is enjoying some mornings on the beach, where I used to spend a lot of time.
Any advice to get me started would be greatly appreciated. Buy gear, or rent some? Suggestions on any books to read would be great, websites to look at? My experience has all been freshwater. Realize I'm not giving much in the way of specifics, just need some pointing in the right direction, if you'd be so kind. Thanks.
