My son is coming down for the summer and wanted to fish for some reds off of Pensacola beach; I'm a newbie and wanted to know if it’s possible without using a Kayak to drop bait? Also, what's the best bait for the reds? Thank you in advance!

What he said ^^^

Usually on whole shrimp or a half of a 4inch crab. Sometimes on cutbait (pinfish)

Like Southern said. Cut bait on carolina rig. Shrimp does get more hits from other trash fish. As for the crab question. I've heard fiddlers will work but have never had a hit. Blues work for reds and black drum.
