That’s good info. The front of the boat stuff you speak of is called spider rigging and usually uses rods 12’ or more in a fan. To better utilize what you probably have now, i think you would be better served to troll with long lines. 1/32 and 1/16 jigs with many colors of curl tails, pulled about 1 mph give or take. Colors vary, just read what guys post about and set up a box just for them. You’ll have enough to fill it with different colors soon enough. This covers enough water to give you some fish and begin the education as the fish aren’t in tight schools and are more scattered in broader areas. Lots of posts in the archives will answer a lot of your questions. My favorite colors include popsicle, black body/chartreuse tail, electric chicken, and pearl or white body/chartreuse tail. Good luck and keep us posted.

Most of all, welcome to the addiction from Debary.
