Need some help here from a newbie. Good a freshwater, but know diddly squat about salt water so I figure I might as well as you pros here.
In mid July, we have a convention for three days at the Long Beach Convention center. That is right by Long Beach Aquarium. I'd like to take our two boys fishing right there at the surf.
I vaguely remember a fried suggesting 8 foot long UL rods that's fast action about 4 -6 lb test. I'm thinking of using straight 4 lb Fireline for casting distance.
Question:
1. What lures?
2. What are we fishing for?
3. Is that area that offer high success for fishing the small stuff? (We're not rigged up for sharks or anything big like that which we see routinely from piers.)
We tried peas once at Catalina Island and it was pretty incredible from the Pier but are not sure if this applies to Long Beach.
Would love to have my boys have a memorable time.
Thanks,
UL
