Heading over to punta gorda next weekend, gonna have about a 4hr window to fish. looking to get the kids and this big kid on some fish. Ive never fished the west coast of florida, but ive fished the gulf in texas. Ill be bringing over the 14ft skiff. what kind of tackle do i need to bring? what kind of bait should i be trying to acquire? all that fun stuff. i dont need exact locations but water depths i should hit, seawalls, bridges, etc? i would love to bring home a couple trout for the table but wouldnt be upset if i got into some reds and snook.

Fishing Punta Gorda?
Head South and fish the East wall of Charlotte Harbor...find the big sand bar (google earth will show you) and work the west side of it with your boat. If no luck you can all get out and wade (pretty nice sand bottom) and work the east side of the bar casting to the mangroves, (not a secret spot, lots of people fish it by boat and by wading with good success)...throw top-waters early morning then switch to soft plastics or plugs once the sun gets up. Cant go wrong with gulp baits especially when fishing a new area. Good luck!
My buddy gave me that exact same advise. Are the fish skiddish around there or should i be good with 30lb flouro?
30 is good...there are some big snook that cruise that bar so don't be surprised if you hook one
