If you feel that a visit to a far away point is a must, try a beach guide. If you go on your own, make sure you have a Public Beach Access sticker for vehicles, issued at the Police Department. Hiring a beach guide is like an instant infusion of surf casting knowledge. A guide will pick you up, drive to the hot spots, supply rods and instruction and fillet your catch. Even if you have equipment, this is a good way to learn where to go and how to fish the beaches.
Most local guides carry both spinning and fly gear.
They will also instruct novices in proper use of tackle. You can also try inshore charter-boat fishing. Charter boats supply all tackle needed. Charter boats which leave from town usually troll, although some cast plugs or encourage fly fishing. The two west end captains do not troll for fish.
