Alright, just planned a week's vacation. September 9 to 15, Delaware coast, within walking distance of Indian River Inlet. I know it's supposed to be a good surf fishing spot, as well as the inlet is well known.
Anyway, it's a family trip, but I'm sure I'll do some surf fishing and probably get an hour or two here and there to cast around the inlet as well.
Anyone know what to expect? Snapper blues, flounder, and maybe some smallish stripers was what I was gathered in a very short time of searching. Probably too early for bigger blues and stripers, but you never know.
I have a surf spinning rod, which will get some work, typical 2 hook rig with pyramid sinkers. I never FF'd the salt, and probably won't buy a dedicated outfit, but I'll have the 7 wt (my largest) along if it's worhtwhile to toss around while the surf rod sits in a sand spike. And I'll probably take a more trout sized (medium) spinning rod along, maybe string it with some 10-12 lb test. The inlet is supposed to be pretty rocky, so I don't know if the bottom rig is a good idea there, and that rod seems a bit unwieldy to toss and reel.
Any thoughts/advice? Not a real experienced salter.
