Looking for tips/suggestions for Wando

Coming from Charlotte NC area for the first time, to try some inshore fishing. Have been looking at the Wando. Not looking for trophies, just some good slot size reds/trout action for my Sons and myself.Any suggestions for landings, bait shops, and maybe some tips for fishing the wando. My boat is a 18’ sea chaser 11" draft. Thanks for any tips or comments in advance.
