Hello
I've never been sea fishing before but i'm up reighton sands in 2 weeks. 
I've got some coarse gear, I just wondered if I could go spinning off the 
beach, or maybe just chuck a ledger out as if I was fishing for carp.
Or am I just wasting my time?

I dont know the area at all, so you might be wasting your time.  Go into a 
lkocal tackle shop and ask them for locations and gear etc, they really are 
helpful most of the time.

Shore fishing is good fun - I think the bass are about now and they'll put a 
smile on your face!

I use ledger / lure for bass but they go for a variety of other things too 
AFAIK.  Ask in a tackle shop.
Enjoy.

David

I dont know what the fishing is like at Reighton (or where it is)  but there 
is no reason why a carp rod won't work as long as you keep the weight of the 
lead and the bait within the limits of the rod and don't need to cast for 
miles.
A carp rod, light line & 1 oz max of lead is my fav. set-up these days 
providing the sea state is slight & the wind is favourable.
More fish are caughr closer in than you mught think..
Also, as David says, ask the tackle shop for help when you get there.

Thanks to you and Dave for the help.

Reighton is near Bridlington, they speak Yorkshire up there so i've been 
told.
I've been on ebay and got meself a telescopic rod and beginners sea fishing 
kit.

I haven't got a clue as to how to set any of it up.
I need a beginners guide.
How the hell do you set feathers up?
Googletime I reckon.

i was going for my first sea fishing trip 2 weeks ago but when we got
there the tackle shop didn't sell any sea baits so we decided to go
another day  hope-fully we'll be going this friday,

could any-one suggest some cheap baits that i could use?
also, do you have to use a wire trace when fishing from the beach?
