Pick up everything you need to surfcast for striped bass and blue fish. The staff is more than willing to let help beginners get started and has their thumb on the pulse of what's working and where they're biting. A Surfland hoodie or long sleeve shirt is pretty much standard issue PI wear for the locals.
