I'm on Sand Key with boat looking for buddy to fish with near and offshore.
I tip them with fishbites shrimp or sand flea usually to add scent. Good luck, love pink.
Kings and Spanish trolling nearshore, inshore reds, specs, mangrove snappers and snook ! Welcome to the forum, good luck when you go ...
Grew up in VB, Find the bait you'll get the fish. I imagine waters still cool so I'd try the skinny warmer waters. Linkhorn bay has held the big trout or the oyster bars for the reds. Good luck.

Is this plumbob from va. Tidalfish anglers back in the day ?
Hogfish ball jigs with live shrimp on the bottom, min. 3ft. 30 - 50 lb leaders since groupers and snappers swim the same waters 50+ ft.of water right now in the gulf off Clearwater for us. Knocker rigs work as well. Good luck. Plenty on you tube as well.
