Default Gear Advice For A 1st Timer

Hi my name is John and I apologize if this isn't the right place for this thread. Wanting to take the family down for our first saltwater fishing adventure. Want to do some surf fishing around the Holly Beach area. We use 8' med.hvy rods and spinning reels that will hold 200yrds of 30lb mono for catfishing. We rig with a 30 to 50lb leader Carolina rigged with a 7/0 circle hook. Will this gear work for some 1st time surf fishers? Don't want to crash the family budget buying new gear for something we are trying for the first time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. J
