@JohnVee Thanks for the info. I ordered some short zebco combo's for the kiddos. Thanks for the hand holding regarding terminology, if my nomenclature is off it is due to me being removed from fishing for approximately 30 years.
No fishing store near me. I may have to replace the line myself before the time comes to put them in action. I am assuming there are videos for this online too. We are looking forward to the experience.

Sandfleas are always tops if you can get them. Shrimp are great whole or in pieces. Everything eats those. Cut up bait fish in whatever sizes you need for a larger presentation. The best baits are always fresh. Have some frozen in reserve, just in case.
Use circle hooks, keep your line tight, and don’t set the hook when it takes off because the hook is designed to rotate into the corner of the mouth and dig in on its own. Just start reeling.

It came up in the Cape Lookout thread but I wanted to share here too. Caught a 27" Red Drum over the weekend, biggest fish I've ever caught. Slot size is 18" to 27" so it just made it. (we measured twice)
I had a drum rig on a 12' surf rod and a small 7' double hook rig in the surf. The little one with a piece of shrimp is what he took.
Honestly didn't know he was on there until I went to reel in. Then knew there was something there for sure.
It was fun and I'm ready to go fishing again.

Nice drum!
I think that, because of the prize money, there is likely to be a charge of conspiracy to commit larceny. Also, I would love to see a pic of Runyan's face taken about 2 seconds after the first photo in the article!
The videos of this are interesting to watch. Pretty sure if the cameras weren't there and the competitors weren't moral, it may have gotten physical.

That is a good-looking fish. Wish I was there. Here is that video I was telling you about.
Nice, that looked like a good day of fishing.

It was. just need time away from the day job, scouts, family, projects, etc. and I will be going back.
Hatteras last week.
Decided to try something new last night. Since carp have been showing up in my cove for a few weeks now (I seem to be really good at unexpectedy whacking them with bass lures!), I set out a light bass spinning rod with 8lb test baited with some corn on a hair rig (look it up - it's basically putting a couple pieces of corn on the long tag end of a snelled hook instead of directly on the hook). I dialed the drag back to almost nothing so a fish wouldn't feel any resistance until the hook set. Took 45 minutes for a strike, but I ended catching my first carp in 34 years, and the first one I ever specially targeted. 6lbs, approximately 18-20". It was a nice fight in the dark in perfect weather. And it made up for everybody getting skunked the night before!
My only other catch last night was a small flathead catfish on a strip of chicken skin. Their mouths are about twice the size of the blue cats I usually catch here. Pretty cool to catch one since they aren't as common and usually only eat live fish.
