Sorry if all my questions sound like fishing noob questions but I really enjoy fishing just trying to get good at it
Anyway, I have been fishing around bald point and some place around
st marks got 3 nice sptted trout a friend of mine got 2 nice catfish and I
swear hooked a shark but it took the line LOL..
I was wondering whats the best place to fishing "in shore fishing I have no boat or canoe at this time" to try and get some spotted trout and or anything else.
Ive been thinking about trying out some areas around st marks some time soon.

This time of year I prefer to use a Topdog JR. worked fairly fast across the top of the water
When using jigs, I prefer a 3" glow white with red tail shrimp and a small peice of FishBites ta flavor it
it cost much less than the DOAs and I think that it works just as well

topdog jr is a top water bait, go check the local wally-mart. I believe Jerrys Bait and Tackle carries fishbites, but not sure. You can order on-line at

Get a kayak to fish out of. It's so awesome you'll swear your cheating. I know my favorite boat can be had at boaters world for $395. That's a lot of money but the payoff is that you wonder why it took so long to get one(Chalk). Best choice I EVER made. If you need more kayak info just ask.
Topwater is pure thrill. Fun to fish with, fewer but bigger strikes. I use bait only if I really have to and that seems to be almost never. Shrimp gets expensive. Fishbites is good stuff but I don't use it much. It's great to have for catching a few quick pinfish to free line or float. I like to throw bait nets and using live bait but it's just more stuff.
I fish to get rid of "stuff". Two light rods, a small tackle box, kayak, paddle, Pfd, shades, water -gone.

drive out to st. george state park....go about half way to the end road and it runs pretty close (75yds) to the bay......there is a grass island.
I caught six red fish (released) between 8 and 9:30 am on top water
using a bone colored "SheDog" wade fishing....another good spot to wade
is the west side of the canal going into the F.S.U lab.
