Also go try off the side of hwy 1. The canal that leads to Elmer's island bridge area and the next bridge up the road can both be good spots to fish

oh and about #2 you dont need a heavy duty rod to catch bull reds. Ive got them in with a med action rod before. I would get a med or med/heavy spinning rod with a 4000 series reel such as a shimano symetre. Be careful about bringing some bass rods in the surf because if the reel is not approved for saltwater use then it will get ate up quick
