First off... great site. I've been following this site for about a week (alot of info to be had here). This site reminds me of www.gofishohio.com - > I use it alot and post a bunch - friendly people (mostly) with a wealth of knowledge (so they say)
Hopefully this "rookie" can get some guideance from the "vets". Here is the deal... I will be at one of the tourist traps strip hotels on a family vacation for 5-7 days in late Aug. My wife has not decided yet (probably more north - Maryland or Delaware).
I'm interested in doing some inshore fishing and have not a clue were to begin. Here is my set up I use to catch Hybrids from the locks on the Ohio river. I have a 11' spinning "Predator" European long rod. Rated for up to 20# test and 3oz. Very light weight rod with a fast taper and Med. action. I got a cheap (albeit works for me) Mitchell 300x that I could probably respool with PowerPro 20#.
My main question is... with a wife and kid, I will not at all be mobile. Is it possible to catch any type of fish from the beach in front of my hotel (give or take 100 yrds north or south)
?? I would be able to fish every morning from 6a to about 9a (or until my wife loses her patience with the baby) and maybe an hour or so before dark. I figure 5-7 days at the beach will be more fishing time than I would get at home for 5-7 MONTHS
. My preference is to use artifical. I have a good number of 1oz bucktails, 1.5 - 2oz casting spoons and a bunch of large/heavy plastics. I can accuratly cast the bucktails about 60 yrd and the casting spoons about 75-80 yrds. I might be able to launch 'em further if accuracy did'nt matter
.
Is any spot in front of any beach hotel gonna produce anything?? Or would I have more luck swimin' my jig through the hotels pool
My first though is I MAY pick up some stragelers during the week... BUT I could also be tossing a spoon into a few billion gallons of empty water. Any suggestions would help. I would be open for pier fishing (as this is mostly what I do on the OHIO River)... but I would be limited to 1-2 day for about 3-4 hours
. But I'll do what I have to to cath some fish (doesn't matter I couldn't tell a flouder from a blue to save my life). I know I rattled on but hopefully all the guru's will chime in and not only help me but all the other mid western hard core fishing "tourist" that have to bake in the sun with the family for a weeks vacation. Tight lines !!
