nigel Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 I don’t have anyone to really ask another fishing. 44 years old. Worked A LOT since 17 years old. Dad and grandpa did too. So anyway I just wanna learn to fish in the bay. What’s the set up and techniques? I don’t care what I catch I just wanna catch. Wife doesn’t eat seafood, I don’t care to deal with prep, I just wanna fish to be fishing! Are there bream over in the west bay? I know there are reds. Seems like artificials is what most use for reds. Just toss it and pop it while retrieve? How don’t catch flounder for example? I know this sounds dumb but dang it I don’t know who else to ask so here I am! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbone Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 We were all newbys at one time. I am east of you in Carrabelle ,but Fish’n technics are about the same. Popping cork with new penny gulp over grass flats will catch, trout, reds, flounder. I like catch’n pin fish and tipping the bait with thumb size cut. Many times I'll take cork off and cast to sand spots.fish around old docks and pilings good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Off topic but do you carry two anchors? I really needed a 2nd anchor over at shell island this weekend while hanging out. I don’t know where I would store it thought without it banging around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbone Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I have a Power pole on the Maverick and throw the anchor on shore. The Robalo I back down to the beach with anchor out front use a ‘Cajun’ pole/shaft to secure the stern/ 6’ stainless rod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
