Work the near trough before taking a long cast
On a quiet morning, walk clear of the crossover before putting a bait out. Try a small piece of shrimp where the last wave runs back down the sand. If that line produces nothing after a couple of fresh baits, move down the beach and repeat the same cast before trying to reach the far bar.
Check Florida’s saltwater rules
See FWC’s recreational saltwater fishing rules for license requirements and species limits before you fish.
