'do it all' saltwater fishing setup

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

I’ve got two trips coming up — one to South Carolina and another to St. Croix — and I want to make sure I bring the right setup. I’ll mostly be fishing from shore/inshore, and the species I’d love to target are:

  • Speckled sea trout
  • Red & black drum
  • Snook
  • Tarpon (up to ~80 lbs, not the 150+ giants)
  • Maybe some small/medium sharks if the opportunity comes up

I’m trying to keep it to one “all-around” combo that won’t leave me undergunned on tarpon but still lets me enjoy trout and redfish. My budget for rod + reel is around $700–800 total.

What I’m looking for:

  • Rod length/power/action recommendations (7’6 MH fast?)
  • Reel size (thinking 4000–5000)
  • Best line + leader setup for this multi-species approach
  • Any specific brands/models you swear by for saltwater durability

Right now I’ve been eyeing:

  • Rod: St. Croix Avid Inshore (7’6 MH fast)
  • Reel: Daiwa Saltist MQ 4000D-XH

Would love to hear from anyone who’s run this combo, or if there’s a better “do it all” setup for the species I listed. Trying to avoid overpacking and just bring one solid stick that can handle it all.

Appreciate any advice 🤙

Out of nowhere he decided to take my tiny jig and plastic. One heck of a fight on my UL rod. Thankfully another fisherman saw me struggling and netted it for me.

Question What length and style of rod should I use for a 3.4.1 Setup?

1 Upvotes

I have my old Firebird 10 Closed Bale Reel that has been my frequent flier since I first started fishing as a kid back in 2007 and the combo this reel came in was $20. I can’t find any information on the original rod length for that combo model, so when it broke 3 years ago I stuck it on a 7ft Shakespeare Durango Rod, but ever since then I struggle heavily with casting out further than 25-30 feet and the line won’t hold memory well as I’m constantly unwrapping it from around the rod tip when it gets randomly twisted around the eyelet for no discernible reason. I always run 8lb line since that’s what it was originally loaded with. But since I’m mainly targeting sunfish species with this setup, (hence running 8lb as it’s the perfect size for bluegills, crappie, and smaller bass) I find the rod it’s currently on just a little bit too long and stiff for that, and if I’m not super vigilant feeling taps on the line can be a bit challenging. Especially when tossing a spinner or crank and retrieving

Is it wrong rod length? Or maybe an issue with the reel itself as it’s a closed reel from 20 years ago. But I wanna keep it as one of my reels I keep on regular rotation for just heading out and hitting panfish, small crappie, and the stray bass when I pop on a jig head.

Also recommendations of what kind of reel to put on the 7ft Durango since the rod is an absolute tank and I’d love to make it my catfish/travel saltwater pole.

OBX first-time cast net shrimping next month - need pointers

1 Upvotes

Going to OBX, south of Whalebone Junction (family trip every year as my parents are getting old) next month for 2 weeks. Bought a cast net to use for the first time for catching shrimp and welcoming any and all advice on it, from fishing laws to best techniques/whether to use chum bait, etc. I will already have a 10-day out-of-state fishing license ready to just do regular surf and sound fishing.

I also will be catching blue crabs with a crab net during my trip. Trying to make a nice family meal for my siblings and their children and my parents.

Thanks y’all!!

Tips

1 Upvotes

Hello I’m looking for tips and info on fishing while I have done it before I’m still pretty inexperienced but am trying to get back into it and know like most things it’s more than just a google search for good info. Ik some basics but would love to know more like good stuff for beginners maybe how to tell good spots or any other knowledge I’m from central Cali about an hour south of sac and know there trout/salmon, bluegill, as well as bass and catfish. While ik there is also sturgeon I feel like I’m to inexperienced for that. My pole is medium and six-foot with what ever monofilament came with it the pole says 8-12lb

Caught a few monsters this week and wanted to share them. They gave one heck of a fight but to finally get them out and to see how big they were was crazy. We released them as they have lived already for a good bit and deserve to keep living.
