AB,

If you're going to wade out to cast (as most do) just make dam sure you're fishing an incoming tide. Every year, anglers are lost who ignore this rule.

I have some "special" surf casting tackle that I got at Johnsons Store in Copalis - it's the only place I've seen it. Sand shrimp hooks w/ "safety pins" to hold the shrimp on and "open" triangular weights with little spikes that hold in the sand.
