My mom used to work at a resort on Manasota Key and I was allowed to go with her I used to patrol the shore following the redfish and the snook ive caught alot of snook there using a 1/4 ounce jig head with a sea shad its like a purplish body with a chart. Tail or id use a pompano jig for the pompano I also caught 3 sharks there . Last year there were some 50-80 pound tarpon I was chasing in my yak lol but good luck
