Bring long needle nose pliers to unhook all the hard tail cats you’ll catch trying to find a stretch of beach that you can catch pompanos on
Athletic tape for your casting finger if you run braid
Small khale hooks if you target pompano (they have small mouths)
Hire a surf guide a couple times. That helps prevent too many mistakes as you start out. I wouldn’t tell him you live down there.
Look up how to tie your own pompano rigs. Most you buy in the store have hooks far too large
