2 oz pyramid is good for long casts in surf, sharks, rays, 20 lb set-up.
Newfishsmell spot really isn't surf fishing, more like back bay fishing,
except the perch pic.
Lighter set-up 1/2 oz carolina rig (sliding egg to a swivel) and a 18" leader.
Fish in tight, stay out of the surf unless you are going for longer casts with crankbaits.
Lot of action from the wet sand to 40' out.
