I live in north Palmetto so I'm usually fishing around the green bridge or the Bradenton bridge right now. Those places are close to me and I have access to them at night

I recently picked up 2 of these from academy when they opened a store near me. With a 20% off coupon for opening and came across a 10$ glide bait I couldn't pass it up. But has anyone thrown these? These are gonna be my first glide baits and I'm not really down to spend 30+ $ on a glide bait that I could lose bc I fish from shore so I figured these would be a good starting point

That's what I've heard is they are more active at night, but I'm in a little cove area and land locked so I might have some troubles getting a bite. But we will see!

OK, I'm finishing at night bc that's when I have off. So I'm pretty much just hoping I can hook up on one during that time. I've got a jerk bait that I bought thinking that it'd work well for snook, I've only thrown it once so I need to put more time into it bc I think it could really produce. I'm fishing from the bank so I'm limited on where I can get especially at night.

OK, I got a couple packs of the vudu shrimp last weekend and gave those a try, but I couldn't really find any videos on how to fish those things well. I kept seeing people putting them on popping corks, but I don't have one of those.

I live close to the river and fish it on the weekends when I'm off at night. I'd like to target snook along the river anyone have any advice for that?

I don't have a basket yet, it's on my list of things to get to be set up for catching bigger fish out there. I've got some 30 lb floro. How long of a leader should I be tying on? Usually for fresh water I use between 3 and 6 ft, but I assume ima need a longer leader for this application

Should I just spool my reel with braid and go to a floro leader, or do I need to have a pretty big section of floro. I'll be doing some pier fishing, and fishing from the beach.

Thanks for the info, I figure I'll be holding my rod the entire time I couldn't see a need to set it down unless the bite is super slow.

I've got a kastking rekon reel paired with a crixus 7ft mh rod. Not targeting anything specific, it's gonna be somthing to do on my nights off, not trying to tempt the swamp puppies I'd normally be around during the day, so pier fishing is my next best option.

Yea salt water, FL gulf side night fishing to be specific.

I figured dropping off the pier, I'd be dropping sprimp or squid pieces.

I bought a kastking set up for pier fishing, which I'm new to, need to get it lined and rigged up. Any suggestions of hook size and type, sinker size, and line type and size?

I've always heard about the "sweet spot" in BP but never really check when I go fishing, mostly bc I'm limited on the chances I get to fish so if I get the chance, I'm going. But does anyone check and go fishing depending on it?

I got some 80/20 sticks from work cut them down to 20" used some corner brackets to attach those to the bottom bar to add some stability and keep the bottom reel off the ground, and took some long aluminum angle brackets and upsized the holes so the bars on my headrest could fit through it keep it all upright. Then I took some. Hooks that have a rubber coating on them, cut them down a bit, drilled holes and attached them to the aluminum 80/20 stick
