Head to Siesta Key in about a week. Never spent any time gulf side and have NO clue what (if anything) a guy might catch fishing in the surf.
Have to travel light. So thinking I'll take a 6 1/2 or 7 foot Ugly Stick and some 30-ish lb. braid on a 4000 series type spinning reel. What handful of artificials would one suggest ??
Thanks !!!

				I'm in the panhandle area.  Always have a gotcha lure, or a casting spoon.  Pompano jig and a bigger jig about 3 oz for jacks. Cobia. Tarpon   jig with curly tail grub, flounder will lay on the drop offs . Could be 2 feet in or a wash out.

You're welcome.  Any snook will be catch and release just so you know.  The gulf side regs are confusing and seem to change daily. 
Oooooooooh !!!   Good to know !!!    :icon_thumright:
I was about to ask if they were good eatin'.     :toothy9:
