First time surf fishing

[glen65]

Hey,
Fishermen are a strange breed. They are really good about helping out with all sorts of questions except information on their fishing spots. Usually they will yell at you if you "spot burn"... post your fishing spot. Anyway, I think it's stupid and we should help each other out. If you're going to try surf fishing, I would suggest Sandy Hook. You can try the ocean and bay side without having to drive. If you park at the 9 Gun Battery area you can walk to the tip. You better be in good shape because it's a long walk in the sand (about a mile) to get to the tip.
That's where I first tried surf fishing about this time of year a couple of years ago and immediately hooked up with some cocktail blues. Luck has been spotty since then because I only get to go out a few times a year (live in Bethlehem, PA)
