Okay here is some of my questions, oh I am in SW FL, and my name is Jim also.
Okay first things first, which is better high tide at night or day time and why?
what is this stuff i hear about sharks not liking cats for bait cause of spines?
okay casting past the light and into shadows at night for better pedator fish for that is where they lay, how much pass the light so i do not spook them? How do i miss the mangrove snappers and still get the trout, the mangrove seem to steal my bait(live shrimp on a 1 or 2 circle hook)what can I do to stop this I like to catch fish but the vile act of theivery gives me the "RED BUTT"
okay , i have used pin fish sometimes but still find that live shrimp works best, is it my patiences that is the problem? is an hour or 2 without a strike normal when fishing like that?
Okay can I use fiddler crabs for bait, do they work? and for what. i relieze now that is alot of questions quickily and if you decide to help me, i will hold on and let you answer first.
