Plan to be slightly south of Clearwater on Monday (in Belleair Beach) Tuesday to surf fish.
Any advice, suggestions you can give will be appreciated.
What is running/. Best bait? Best artificial?
Don't know a thing about surf fishing in Florida, but I've fished a lot of different surf and the Luckycraft surf pointer will catch anything that eats other fish.

Ironically, I just bought a lure today that looks like that. I'll try it.
Hope you have some luck with it.
Red tide cleared up. Use your longest spinning rig. Shrimp is available. Plenty of whitebait and pinfish around on the bayside. A sputnik or spider weight will help you cast long and grab the bottom. Bring a camping chair and a sand spike to hold your rod. Rubber paddletails in white and zara spooks in bone work well. Fish in the trough just off the beach. Good luck. I live here fulltime.

Soooo, after two days, my report - Day 1 evening incoming tide - not one strike, no matter what I tried (peeled shrimp, 4 different lures). Day 2 early morning, late afternoon, and evening incoming tide - about 3:30 pm Lady fish came rushing in, hitting anything that shines instantly. Caught more ladyfish than ladies in a bridge club. It became too much trouble. Not one hit from anything else, whether lures, cut bait, shiners.
BUT, I had two days at the beach with my wife - she is the best catch!!!
