In need of some help, would love to catch some fish

[MITCHELL]

I been thinking about this guy...I was gonna say just get a bass rod and a few jigs hookup bait ,fish traps,gulf shrimp bait ,big hammer, leadhead,grubs ,tubes ect
And start scraping the bottom along rock jettie, out with the tide in with the tide, but it sounds like your doing it now. You just need to find fish....lean how to splice braid to fluorocarbon and mono with the John Collins or RP knott. Mono to mono line double uni knot.
Tie hooks and swivel with palomar or improved clinch knot. And learn dropper lupe and double uni and surgeon loop...keep it simply the skys the limit what you can learn for starters pole jig, net learn to cast and work jigs keep them on the bottom.
