Need a little help?

[straps57]

I just moved to Carolina Beach from Massachusettess. I mostly fish from shore and my kayak. I am planning on launching from the ramp at Snows Cut and the ICW, Carolina State park ramp and from Fort Fisher in the near future and was wondering if there are any areas to avoid due to current, boat traffic, etc. I also have never fished for any of the species that are around the area . I like to fish plugs and artificials more than bait fishing. If anyone can tell me what lures seem to work best for the areas I will be fishing that would be awesome. If there is anyone from the area that wants to fish around carolina beach let me know. Thanks Guys.
