thanks man, i appreciate all the info, i actually went on a charter last year and caught a 8 pound fluke, it was a pretty nice fish. but i am pretty much trying to catch anything off the beach that i can. i also have 80lbs braided line for it. i also have a baitfeeder on my reel so it will just let line out if a fish hits it. but i would love to catch a striper. ill probably try some lures and probably fish some cut up squid and minnows.

oh lol, i feel stupid i didnt catch that.

i almost bought a 12" but the shipping was more expensive LOL

I am going to RI this summer for a vacation, i just bought a 10" offshore angler rod from basspro and a okuma avenger abf 65 reel. i have never fished off the beach before, anything i should know? any tips you have? i would like to try and catch striper, but any kind of fish will do. Thank you all for your help.

thank you everyone!

welcome! i go on vacation to RI every sumer. just bought a surf rod, to try fishing off the beach this year.
