Don't cast your centerpin into salt water!! It will ruin your (likely very expensive) reel!!!! Plus you need a "flow" of water for effective centerpin float fishing and the shore/wind at Carkeek isn't going to provide anything but bird's nests for the beginner. Take your pin up to Piper's Creek when the Chum are running up it in November and keep those reels in fresh water. Actually, you may want to not do that either as that is likely a protected creek...
