Ok I'll try that spot for sure. What type of rod would you suggest I use... I have a good stripper rod with a Abu garcia 5600 or would I need to purchase a surf rod?

I know very little about surf fishing. EDawg could probably tell you all you want to know. He owns his own charter company.

They rent them on the ocean side pier but you have to stay on the pier.
The purpose of a surf rod is to just sling the shite out of it past the breakers. In my experience, 90% of what you catch (or at least want to catch) is in or within the breakers.
If you just want to get spooled and broken off by a 200 pound stingray or a 6 foot shark, then by all means, sling a surf rod 80 yards past the breakers with a big nasty hunk of mullet on a 4 inch hook.
Another pro-tip, the birds will steal your bait if you leave it out and you walk toward the beach to cast.
