Fishing Clearwater Beach and Panama City Beach any advice?

Florida Sportsman forums are pretty good for info. http://forums.floridasportsman.com/forumdisplay.php?30

Also, check out the tide charts. Not end all be all, but the fish usually seem to bite at the entrances/exits of the bay when water is moving in and out.

I always liked an incoming tide, also for flounder and reds right where the surf starts to break in a good spot on the pier you don't need to get out on the end unless your after cobia and kings...some times the dolphins will steal your fish specially spanish... sheepshead can be fun around the pilings, gather fiddler and hermit crabs for them

Thank you all for the replies.  I'll grab some gotchas as I've thrown those before.  I'll call around for a charter too, its been 8 years or so since I did my last charter so was thinking maybe get out a bit further.  I have a small cast net, and I always send out my minions to gather sand fleas and put my oldest on the sabiki rod to catch me some live ones!  Never fished clearwater before, but sounds very similar to my experiences down in Destin.  Thanks again fellas!  I'll be sure to post up some pics and a full TR.

a box of instant rice made in a 5gal bucked just pour the hot water on it in the bucked with a bottle of clamato let it set over night, chum with it then toss your net, finger mullet and pogies... doormat flounder love them
