Captains Andy and Rich hook up with Fisherman publisher Fred Golofaro.   They spend the day experiencing the fall bite in the surf on the south fork of Long Island.  Blitzing fish, screaming birds, and load of action.  They catch plenty of blues and bass to over 20lbs on plugs, bucktails, and soft plastic shads. The techniques and tackle in this show can be used by anyone who wants to experience the fall surf run.  If you have questions about any of the equipment used during the show, please contact us or  send us a message. 
Andy and Rich were using Shimano Spheros 8000 reels.  These reels have a waterproof drag system which is perfect for the surf.  The reel stayed smooth despite being dunked repeatedly in the surf.

The reels were mounted on 11ft medium/heavy, fast action G-Loomis surf rods.  The rods were rated for 12-30lb test and lure weights up to 3 ounces.  These rods had no problem handling either big plugs or medium size plastics.  The rods were extremely powerful, lightweight, and gave us unbelievable casting distance and accuracy.  G-Loomis makes a great selection of surf rods that are prefect for every saltwater application. 
 
The reels were loaded with 30lb Berkley Fireline.  The thin diameter allowed for for monster casts that nearly emptied the reels. depths. 

The terminal tackle consisted of a A 2-3ft leader of  40-60lb Berkley Vanish attached to the main line using an 80lb Mustad Rolling Swivel. 

Several lures were used including 6" (1 3/8oz) Yo-Zuri Surface Cruiser plugs.  They were easy to work, had tremendous casting distance, and drew dramatic strikes from the fish.   When the surface action was quiet 1-1 1/2oz Hookup bucktails tipped with red Uncle Josh 240 Pork Strips, and rubber shads were used.
 
No trip into the surf is complete without a great surf bag from Aquaskinz.  Andy was using the large surf bag and Rich was carrying the small surf bag.  Aquaskinz also makes a variety of dry tops and other surf bags, pouches and accessories.

Andy and Rich were both wearing the amazing Tailwaters XT  waders from Orvis.  These waders are attached directly to the wading shoe with a built-in stocking foot support.  The boots lace up quickly and easily and fit perfectly. They are incredibly comfortable and completely dry. They also fold up into a very small and lightweight carry bag. 
All the tackle used on Northeast Angling is stored in Ameripack tackle systems.  The Backpack Tackle system is used to get the tackle to the fish!  All the rods and reels are transported using the Rod Pods and the Reel Locker.  They insure that everything makes it to the shoot in perfect condition.  Their versatile Fly Boxes are also used for bucktails and rigs.
