I live there and I dont own a net or gaff, never had a problem finding some one to help to get a fish up. I dont really fish for bobos too much but pomp jigs work well. Bubble rigs are best, green, yellow or orange color.

As far as inshore spots to fish or techniques, Im not sure as Ive never fished the St. Andrews bay system. I say just hit up both piers and do what everyone else is doing. That is how I learned.

I dont know how the whiting have been at PCB but if its anything like Navarre, I suggest you focus on them. With light tackle they are fun to catch and **** are they ever yummy. The freeze great too as an added bonus. The fish on the far right (my left) was just shy of the world record and 20" long!!!
