I recently caught the fishing bug after not fishing for several years. I've never done any saltwater fishing and I'd like to learn surf fishing. I've got a decent 11' surf fishing rod. One guy I talked to at a tackle store told me to use a pompano rig and shrimp. I haven't gotten a chance to go out and try it yet and I have a lot of questions that i was hoping some people more knowledgeable than me could assist me with. My first question is should I just hook some shrimp onto the several hooks and cast out as far as I can? If so, do I need to make sure I can throw it beyond the sand bar to have any success, I'm still kind of lost as to where I need to place the bait in relation to the beach. I would also like to know what good artificial lures I could use for surf fishing; I always enjoyed casting with crankbaits in freshwater and I was hoping there was a more active technique available for surf fishing. Another question I have is when is the best time for fishing, is there any hope of catching anything in the middle of the day or is it best to just wait until dusk before I should expect any success?
And one final query, I also have a 7' spinning rod and reel, are there any effective methods for using it for surf fishing?
