>>2369277Don't waste time with docks and ramps. Find a mellow bank, and drop the kayak in the water, then load it up. Walk to not quite knee deep, step over the kayak like it's a bicycle, then sit back in to the seat and paddle off as you pull your feet in
>>2369301You can, but Don use 50lb braid as a mainline, you're gonna hurt yourself.. get some 550 cord or bankline and use that as the mainline
>>2369308You can use lures and avoid them mostly but eventually you'll snag one, in which case:
>surf them in on a wave>grab tail tip>wrap stinger in a wrap an have person a hold itThe stingray is disarmed
>have person B grab the breathe holes and flip ot on it's back>use pliers to unhook it>flip it back up>person a carries the tail, person b carries the breathe holes>knee deep water>wait for wave to crash>just as the water sucks out both people drop the fish and let the water take it>try not to lose the rag, you might have to do it again later>>2369117You'll only need bug spray if the wind is blowing from the west, a wind from the east and you won't see a bug.
>>2369113Good luck anon. I always liked having 3 set-ups
>heaver12 foot rod, 20lb mono, 60-80lb shock leader, 5/0 circle hook, and however much lead it takes to keep my bait in place. I'd heave this in to the farthest trough I could.
>Bait rod6-10 foot lighter power rod, 20lb braid, and a high/low rig with #4 aberdeen hooks for spot, sea mullet (king fish), croaker, pompano, or anything else that'd pick up a small bait in the surf. Usually I only use an ounce or two of weight and I'd usually fish inside the crashing waves in the first trough.
>lure rodAgain 7-9 feet, similar to the bait rod, but with a small leader of steel or heavy flouro with a snap to attach various casting spoons and lures on the off chance some Spanish mackerel or bluefish came within casting distance
I look forward to seeing pics, i miss the obx so much. Good luck anon.
