Anyone here fish the surf/beach?
Interested to hear of any diehard surf fisherman. Don’t disclose specific locations/home beach unless you feel the world needs to know..geographical area is plenty.
Species you fish for, tackle, camp set up, beach sand/shell/rock(terrain). Also interest to hear of any fish you loathe catching. For me on the gulf coast it’s the ‘Tourist Trout’ aka hardhead catfish. Nonresidents(it works both ways) are thrilled to catch anything but It will ruin your day with one jab of its barbed poisonous pectoral and dorsal fins. However I’ve seen multiple great blue heron swallow hardheads whole. I know you shouldn’t feed wildlife but when my heron friend is eyeing a pesky hard head I can’t help but toss him one 1st thing in the morning when I wake up after a sandy nap/night, no sane/knowledgeable person wants to wake up and deal hardheads 1st thing in the morning. However they do make good Cobia(ling) and sometimes shark baits.
