Grew up in the North, fishing seems so different here. Bought a proline 26 w/a with all the gear. My family and I go out and we cant catch shit!!! Coming out of Fleming Island but we have been traveling up to Blount Island and the Jetties. Ive got the boat and would be happy to take someone out if they can show me the ropes.

James, I wish I lived closer to you. I would go with you anytime. I have a proline 23 sport and go 50 miles off shore to fish. The leadge here is about that far out. Talk to some bait shops in your area to get some input on where to go. They might even know someone who might help you out. Here is a link that might help you with some spots. Good luck James.

I also a northerner thought I was a pretty good fisherman was a mate on a 6 person charter boat for25 years catching bass or yellowfin tuna and everything in between. Now Florida it’s like starting all over again to learn how to fish most of Florida fishing is finding structure for grouper , ars , amberjack hogfish and red grouper not so much about the structure cheese holes for red grouper with threadfin herring for bait but you got to run the 50 plus miles I’m in new port richey to far for you don’t get frustrated you’ll get the hang of it we’re fishing 100 ft of water good luck
