When I was stationed at Tyndall AFB I went out two times a week. The area around channel bouys 8, 9 & 10 were always good for kings, snapper and grouper. Good luck.
Wally World has some good deals on rods, reels and combos. Their prices on line, hooks and lures are very competitive. Have a good time wetting a hook.
Once the summer heat warms up the streams the trout will become lethargic and will not rise as readily to a fly bobbing on the surface. So cooler waters and winter fishing can be very rewarding.
