Hunting & Fishing What are some tips for fishing near a beach?

[deviddiya]

I am going to Gulf Shores, AL, for a week beginning this Saturday and plan on fishing off a inflatable rubber raft 50 - 100 yards off the shore. What baits/lures should I use? What kind of fish can I catch? What time of day is best/worst for fishing? Any tips would be helpful.

Spinning reel 12# line. Any bait shop will help you rig your reel and rod,sell you bait and give you pointers. GS is visitor friendly. Enjoy.
