Thinking about taking the plunge...
....into the salt. I fish freshwater for trout quite a bit, and have a good selection of 3, 4 and 5wt outfits. I'm thinking about trying saltwater this year. Most (if not all) of this will be done on LI's north shore, primarily mid-sound and west. Can I get by with an 8wt? Or will a 7 wt suffice? I don't want to break the bank on a setup (like an Orvis Helios or something). I was thinking about some of the packages Cabelas sells...primarily their 3 Forks/Ross setups. They all range under $100. Can I get by with a WF floating line? I'm thinking fishing mostly clousers and deceivers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
