Yea Man My home turf.if you wan't bull reds, use finger mullet, or fresh cut scaled whiting/pinfish/sea mullet, any other bait fish (best bait is what you catch yourself while you are there)(go to a tackle shop on the island and buy a "Sabiki rig" bait rig )for shark use the same cut bait or cut stingray and use a 5' 120# or bigger steel leaderfor trout use live shrimp fished on the bottom, or live croaker for black drum use live crab, that about covers it. (frozen store bought bait is about worthless)
