Florida first report

As some of you may know, I recently moved from San Diego to Florida. It's been consistently windy here, but I finally got out on the ocean for the first time last weekend. The wind kept me close to shore, but the fishing was good, and I learned a lot. I wanted to keep things very simple, so I brought two rods, each with 15 lb braid and 10 lb fluoro leader. One had a Rapala Xrap 10, and the other had a Krocodile spoon. I ended up adding a new species to my list (guaguanche), brought home dinner (mangrove snapper), and caught bait for my next surf fishing session (ladyfish). I also hooked a nice 20+ lb jack crevalle, but I brought the wrong gear for that size fish. It ran off with my Xrap, which hopefully won't take too long to rust out. Next time I'll be better prepared!
