As long as you’ve got some streamers a few inches long that you can fling on your 10WT you’re in business. Have some king of wire leaders to use in case you find blues. There’s more info out there than we’d want to cover here, but by all bring tackle and give it a go.
Thank you Kevin. I was looking to fish the Sandy Hook area as it is fairly close to Newark. Do you know if there will be any issues fishing the beaches there? I know in FL, it is frowned upon (sometimes illegal) to fish some of the beaches.
Just want to go about it the right way. Thank you.
