Need help with shore fishing in the Outer Banks

[fabsroman]

Has anybody done any shore fishing in the Outer Banks?

I am headed down there in a couple of days for 5 days and my brother, his girlfriend, and my wife want to do some fishing. Me, I want to go on a charter boat, but I don't think that is in the cards this time. So, I'll take what I can get.

However, I have no idea what I am doing fishing from the shore. All of my recent fishing has been from a boat. What kind of bait should I use? What should I expect to catch? Can I use a trolling rod or a freshwater rod with a spinning reel on it?

Help me out here guys.
