Thanks to you and Dave for the help.

Reighton is near Bridlington, they speak Yorkshire up there so i've been
told.
I've been on ebay and got meself a telescopic rod and beginners sea fishing
kit.

I haven't got a clue as to how to set any of it up.
I need a beginners guide.
How the hell do you set feathers up?
Googletime I reckon.

I dont know what the fishing is like at Reighton (or where it is) but
there is no reason why a carp rod won't work as long as you keep the
weight of the lead and the bait within the limits of the rod and don't
need to cast for miles.
A carp rod, light line & 1 oz max of lead is my fav. set-up these days
providing the sea state is slight & the wind is favourable.
More fish are caughr closer in than you mught think..
Also, as David says, ask the tackle shop for help when you get there.
Tight lines

Hello
I've never been sea fishing before but i'm up reighton sands in 2 weeks.
I've got some coarse gear, I just wondered if I could go spinning off the
beach, or maybe just chuck a ledger out as if I was fishing for carp.
Or am I just wasting my time?
