Try the bob sikes bridge(Pensacola Beach bridge) using a wire leader and a live LY. You'll catch a few spanish mackerel that way.

try a pinfish , croaker , or shrimp next to the pilings flounder , snapper, redfish

and kings are starting to move in the bays .drift a hardtail,menhaden,cigar minnow

Go to the beach.

No rods, no tackle.

Sit down and watch. See who's catching what and what they're using. Ask a few questions.

Repeat once more then go to the bait and tackle and tell them what you're doing. Ask some more questions. Buy what they tell you and give it a shot.

Like JoeZ said, the best way to learn is to get out there and watch. Thats what I do everytime I go fishing. I watch what the others are doing and note if it worked or not.

If need be, you can shoot me a PM and I'll tell you how I do things. It may not be the right way, but it's the way that works for me.
