I haven’t fished in that location, but have done a little surf fishing and can offer a couple tips. 1. Just about everything in the surf eats shrimp. Buy some live shrimp and keep them alive. If it’s a really slow day, you can boil the shrimp. 2. Bait from the surf can’t be beat. Buy a small cast net, learn to use it and catch your own bait – you’ll save money and have the best bait. Often you can walk the beach and spot schools of baitfish in the shallows, catch a bucketful with one throw. If you don’t see baitfish, you probably still can catch some by throwing blindly into the foam a little further out.
Try sandeel type lures for big Roosterfish.
roosterfish are in season but i dont know how you will catch them surf fishing. but use cut bait or shrimp
