Alright. Now im not gonna give you a turorial beacause that would take days of typing but ill give you the basics. A far as equiptment for a starter get a low end real like a penn silverado sv6000 with a 10ft ugly stik. I dont know your area so i cant help with location. I suggest buying a book called surfcasters guide to the striper coast by dj muller. Its a great read and is packed with info. Back to reels, when you get your reel spool it up with a 50 pound BRAID of power pro with a 30 pound of fireline under. I also strongly suggest using plugs. Go down to a bait shop and theyll tell you all you need to know and if they dont tell me. I dont know what your budget is but for a started minimun you need a plug bag and a head light. Also remember to get swirvels at your bait shop so you can easly snap plugs on and off. Sorry i coudnt give you all the info you probably wanted but that would take days. Anyway most important rule of fishing is to HAVE FUN. Thats what its all about. Also remember your not gonna be the old man of the sea in one year, it takes a LONGGGGGGGG time. Write back to tell me what you budget is so i can tell you what plugs to start off with. Good luck and tight lines. O and one more thing once you figure out if you like it or not try takin lessons from bill wetzel, its expensive but it gives you years of expirience in one 6 hour trip.
ps tell me where your area is so i can help with where to fish when
ps2: go to surfrats.com, its unbelivable how much info you can get from them
