x2 on Martys, sounds like you need a Shakespeare or equivalent spinning reel with at least a 7 ft or better rod, 20 lb line, some double drop bottom rigs with pyramid sinkers, shrimp or bloodworms and hold on lol. Also, 1 1/2 or 2 in pvc works good for rod holders stabbed in the sand. Good luck. As VH 60 sez, wash it off with a hose after saltwater use to keep it working

You can find a decent penn surf rod and reel combo for around $100 and should last many years.

not knowing any better I just brought my fresh water gear with and hit a local bait shop for bait and a little tackle.
I had fun fish were caught. just washed my stuff down with a little fresh water when done.
I should add I also didn't know people didn't canoe on the Atlantic but that didn't stop me either had a great time with the dolphins , caught a few more fish , had fun in the waves and got to see coastal SC from a different view.
but what Marty said about the rods being very available at any store near the coast
the real shame was on my last day there I met a guy on the fishing pier who had a collection of crab traps but he said the water was too cold for his usual walk out to chest deep and set them at low tide and check them at the next low tide. I would have set and checked them the water wasn't cold to me and I could have done it form the canoe and split the crab I like to try local food when I am traveling. better yet when it is catch and cook.
my kids were swimming as locals walked the beach dressed like it was going to snow. it was 64 and sunny water temp was 80 it felt great having come from 35 and rain at home.
