Take the dinghi up the creek with a shovel and scope out the pluff mud for fiddler crabs. They should be everywhere. it’s calories.

You tube has good videos on throwing cast nets.
Might check into the groups who do boxs of fresh veggies for a certain price…I’m sure someone on here knows what they are called…I’m sure they could maybe drop yours at the marina or meet you on. Their delivery day

And you can have two personal crab pots. Sometimes they catch fish too. Today in daddy’s we had whiting and a flounder …and stone crab s. but remember. Only one claw from the stonies. :). Good idea to brush up on your DNR regs if you are familiar…there are constant changes it seems in what you can and can’t have and size and catch limits…

Get you a cheap cast net and catch menhaden as they move through the are…you will see them flipping on surface or Pelicans diving are a sign of them. Fish them on btm with a carolina rig near the draw bridge and catch all the skate you can eat. Watch out for the auxiliary coasties…if to close to bridge they may run you off.
Use a Carolina rig with a wire leader and circle hook, fish bottom areas with crab or other bait, you’ll catch a bunch of sharks if you are willing to eat them. The “bonnethead” looks like a weird hammerhead and is under 4’ usually and it’s good to eat, and lots of meat, check the regs on keepers. You have to get a mud minnow trap… it’s the easiest way to get bait, put a cheap minced up red hot dog in the trap, you’ll be set for a day.
No one said it, but target sharks. You should be able to catch them. Of course, I think there’s a mercury problem with eating too many sharks.

You guys were right. The castnet is a great way to catch fish.
