I must say, that for me, it's more about bending the rod that what I catch......
I camped in Sebastian last year, at the state park, and didn't catch anything there either, again fishing from the shore in the river...... maybe I just need to give the beach a shot, as long as it's green flags, I guess my boy will be ok.
Come to think of it, the best I did in-shore was as a kid growing up chasing Flounder in Jacksonville; I killed 'em nearly every time I went out, but other than that I needed a boat to get where I was going. We had a 13' Orlando Clipper when I was growing up, killed more fish in that boat than the red tide lol.
Also, need to get my arse up a little earlier in the morning, and watch the tides; I guess the tail end of the incoming tide, and beginning of the outgoing tides are best(?)
