I don't know how the fishing is on the islands, but when left to my own devices in Florida, I like to fish the beach - just before high tide seems to work for me. Wade out through the first trough and the water will get shallower again. Cast back into just where the waves are breaking. Big snook will run that slot after baitfish and crabs being kicked up by the surf. Sometimes you can see a whole pod of them coming down the beach. Try to catch a morning when the high tide is around 8:00 A.M. and start fishing around 6:00. Watch for sting rays in the morning - shuffle step works to keep from stepping on one.
